Overview Financial Accountant – Retail (Head Office) This is a commercially focused finance role for an experienced accountant who thrives in a hands-on retail environment. You’ll be deeply involved in the day-to-day financial operations, working closely with store managers and operational teams to ensure accurate reporting, strong controls, and smarter processes across the business. We’re looking for someone detail-oriented yet commercially minded — an accountant who understands the realities of retail, questions inefficient processes, and embraces technology, including AI and automation, to improve the way finance operates. This is a mid-level finance role with real scope to grow, one for an ambitious accountant who is ready to step beyond pure technical delivery and take ownership of a team, a set of systems, and a broader business partnership. You’ll lead a small finance team, work closely with store and operational managers, and drive the kind of process and systems improvements that make a meaningful difference to how the business runs. The accounting fundamentals matter, but what sets this role apart is the expectation that you’ll think and act like a business partner, not just a reporter of numbers.
