Your new role

Reporting to the Senior Accountant, you will support all areas of financial reporting for multiple retail sites during a busy period. Your responsibilities will include assisting with the preparation of monthly and quarterly management accounts, completing journal entries, and performing balance sheet reconciliations. You will also support group reporting requirements, manage weekly cash controls, and assist with revenue returns to ensure compliance with deadlines. In addition, you will support audit processes, acting as a point of contact for auditor queries, and respond to queries from various stakeholders across the business.
