Essential Skills & Experience

  • Fully qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent).
  • Strong commercial finance or FP&A experience—ideally within retail or a similar fast‑paced environment.
  • Exceptional analytical capability with experience handling large data sets.
  • Confident communicator—written and verbal—able to influence and push back when needed.
  • Comfortable leading discussions, making recommendations, and challenging assumptions.
  • Ambition to build and develop a high‑performing analyst team.

What’s on Offer

  • Up to £70,000 salary
  • 30% annual bonus
