Retail Accountant

**Retail Accountant

• 12 Month FTC - York (office based with flexibility around hours)**

Campbell Grove Talent are working exclusively with a brilliant York based business who are looking to recruit a Retail Accountant on a 12 month FTC.

This is a big, and busy business where there's a lot going on across Finance.

If you’re keen to develop quickly and gain hands on exposure to a complex set of accounts, this role will challenge you in a positive way. Realistically, you’ll gain broader experience here over 12 months than you might in many permanent positions.

What you’ll be doing:

You’ll support the UK management accounts process end-to-end, not just processing numbers, but understanding them.

Day to day, that looks like:

• Supporting the preparation of UK management accounts
• Journals, prepayments and accruals
• Producing balance sheet reconciliations
• Getting under the skin of the P&L, supporting it and owning parts of it
• Dealing with credit cards and company expenses
• Responding to queries from across the business and building relationships outside of finance
• Customer payments and related queries

What they’re looking for:

• Part-qualified (AAT/ACCA/CIMA) or qualified by experience, either works if you can demonstrate what you’ve learned on the job.
• Retail finance exposure would be great, but it’s not essential. It’s a fast moving environment and the accounts reflect that, so you’ll need to be comfortable with pace.
• More than anything, attitude matters. Someone who’s willing to get stuck in, ask questions, and contribute.
• Ideally you’ll need to be able to start by the beginning of April.
