Systems & Management Accountant - Dublin North - Growing Business

Your new company

You’ll be joining a long‑established Irish wholesale and distribution business with over 60 years of trading history, now undergoing a major transformation. Recently acquired by a global parent group and supported by a new Managing Director, the company is modernising its systems, strengthening its structure and preparing for significant growth. With a SAP Business One implementation nearing completion, this is an exciting moment to join and influence the next phase of the organisation’s journey.

Your new role

As Systems & Management Accountant, you will take full ownership of the management accounting function — a newly created role with real impact. With no formal finance team currently in place, you will work closely with the current Bookkeeper and report directly to the Managing Director. This is a highly hands-on position where you will build a structure from the ground up and shape how finance operates going forward. Key responsibilities include:
  • Establishing monthly management accounts and robust reporting
  • Implementing budgeting, forecasting and cashflow processes
  • Enhancing inventory accounting and stock controls
  • Strengthening internal controls and financial governance
  • Supporting the rollout and embedding of SAP Business One
  • Providing commercial insight to support strategic decision‑making


What you'll need to succeed

  • A qualified or QBE accountant with strong management accounting experience
  • Confident, self-sufficient and capable of taking ownership in an evolving environment.
  • Comfortable working with limited historic data and legacy systems
  • Skilled in improving processes, controls and reporting structures
  • Experienced in wholesale, distribution, FMCG or inventory‑heavy environments (advantageous)
  • Familiar with SAP Business One (highly desirable)

What you'll get in return

  • A unique opportunity to shape a finance function from the ground up
  • The ability to influence systems, processes and commercial decision-making
  • Salary up to €75k plus pension. Some flex on salary for the right person.
  • Office-based role with the potential for some hybrid working after a few months, once you are settled into the role.
