K&B Panels Limited — Liverpool

About Us

K&B Panels is a fast-growing Liverpool-based interiors brand. We design and manufacture decorative EPS 3D wall panels, sold across the UK and US through Amazon, Shopify, B&Q, The Range, Robert Dyas, and Walmart, with a growing footprint in Italy and Ireland. Manufacturing runs out of our own factory in Tuzla, Istanbul.

We're a business with real revenue moving across four currencies and half a dozen sales channels, but no one has owned the finance function properly yet. That's this role.

The Role

This isn't a compliance job. We're not looking for someone to file numbers after the fact, we're looking for someone who owns the money as it moves, catches what's wrong before it costs us, and makes decisions daily rather than reporting on them monthly.

You'll own every invoice that comes into this business before it gets paid, own when and how it gets paid, and own the cash position across GBP, USD, EUR, and TRY well enough to know exactly where we stand on any given day without having to ask.

• Hours: Full-time, 37.5 to 40 hours a week.
• Location: Hybrid, based from our Liverpool office. This role needs regular in-office time given the daily nature of payment decisions, exact split to be agreed but expect the majority of the week in-office rather than remote.
• Reports to: Jake Bond, CEO. This role is built to run with real autonomy, not tight oversight, weekly check-ins on numbers and decisions, not daily sign-off on routine work.

What You'll Own

• Every invoice, reviewed before it's paid. Supplier, freight, and operational invoices (Gemini Freight, Netlog Logistics, Lake City Logistics, our aluminum and adhesive suppliers, agency retainers) checked against agreed rates and contracts, discrepancies caught and challenged before money moves, not after.
• The payment run itself. You decide the cadence, not us. Timing payments across four currencies to protect cash flow, taking early-payment discounts where they exist, holding terms where that's the smarter call.
• Daily and weekly reconciliation across our Wise accounts (GBP/USD), Payoneer (Walmart), and marketplace settlements (Amazon, Shopify, B&Q, Robert Dyas), so our cash position is always current, not discovered a week late.
• Finishing the UK P&L model, which currently has real gaps: profile trim costs, the Turkey revenue transfer mechanism, and current assets capture.
• A live, maintained cash flow forecast across all four currencies, including our current loan repayment schedule.
• Reviewing and protecting the intercompany pricing between K&B UK and our Turkey manufacturing side, so margin doesn't quietly erode.
• VAT returns, and over time, statutory accounts and Corporation Tax submissions as trust and track record build.
• Sanity-checking financial terms on new commercial agreements before they're signed, commission structures, buy-sell pricing, payment terms.
• Personal tax structuring input for the founders, salary versus dividends, where a genuinely qualified perspective saves real money.
