This is a brilliant opportunity for a commercially minded finance professional to step into a hands-on role at a purpose-led, fast-growing fashion brand, helping to keep our finance function running smoothly while supporting performance, reporting, forecasting and decision-making across the business.
The Role
This is a full-time maternity cover role, reporting into the CFO, with responsibility for the day-to-day running of the finance function.

You’ll oversee monthly management accounts, reporting and reforecasting, support channel profitability analysis across e-commerce and stores, manage cashflow and cost control, and help ensure strong financial systems, processes and controls are maintained.
You’ll also manage and support the finance team, lead balance sheet reconciliations, contribute to budgeting and audit activity, and provide clear, commercial insight to help the business identify risks, opportunities and areas for improvement.
