Are you ready to step into a pivotal role that puts you at the heart of financial operations within a leading UK retailer? Perhaps you are part-qualified and are looking for a more hands-on Finance role to finish your qualification in? If this sounds like you then this opportunity in the bustling retail and distribution sector could be your perfect match!
Macildowie Finance are currently working with a leading retailer and distributor to recruit a Finance Business Partner for their site in Rotherham.

- Transactional Oversight: Oversee the purchase ledger, ensuring all supplier data is meticulously maintained and all expenditures are authorised before ledger entry. Match invoices to purchase orders with precision.
- Audit & Compliance: Prepare audit files for half-year and year-end, participate in stock takes to guarantee accuracy, and oversee the preparation of tax computation support documentation.
- Operational Efficiency: Manage the margin reports, investigate pricing anomalies, and ensure invoicing accuracy. Conduct monthly stock reconciliations across multiple warehouse locations and identify improvement opportunities in finance and warehouse systems utilisation.
- Financial Administration: Handle corporate credit card statements, ensuring all expenditures are authorised and properly accounted for, including VAT analysis.
