The Opportunity

As Senior Accounts / Supervisor, you'll oversee the day-to-day delivery of our finance operations while leading and developing a team of four.

You'll keep the fundamentals running brilliantly - accurate processing, strong controls, healthy cash management and smooth month-end delivery - while looking for opportunities to make our processes more efficient and effective.

It's a hands‑on leadership role combining finance operations, cash management, reporting, process improvement and people development.

You'll be close enough to the detail to understand what's happening, while giving your team the direction, coaching and support they need to deliver.

• What You'll Be Doing

• Oversee day-to-day Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable activity.
• Manage monthly sales and purchase ledger reviews.
• Ensure finance processing is accurate, controlled and completed to deadline.
• Maintain strong operational finance processes and identify opportunities to improve them.
• Monitor financial controls and ensure agreed procedures are consistently followed.
• Support operational sign-off for new systems, processes and improvements.
• Cash Management & Treasury
• Own the weekly cash forecast and present key findings to senior finance leadership.
• Manage treasury-related processes and controls.
• Review payment runs and support payment execution where required.
• Oversee bank reconciliations and ensure outstanding items are resolved promptly.
• Support ad hoc payment requirements while maintaining appropriate controls.
• Reporting & Performance
• Produce monthly operational reporting and provide clear performance insights.
• Monitor KPIs and highlight emerging performance, workload or resource risks.
• Review operational metrics and identify potential control issues.
• Provide accurate information and analysis to support better decision‑making.
• Leading the Team
• Lead, coach and develop a team of four finance professionals.
• Set objectives and manage performance reviews and development plans.
• Balance workloads and ensure key deadlines are consistently achieved.
• Provide training, guidance and ongoing support.
• Create an environment where people take ownership, collaborate and perform at their best.
• Working Across the Business

• Resolve finance queries efficiently and professionally.
• Communicate confidently with internal and external stakeholders.
• Work collaboratively across Finance and wider operational teams to keep things moving.

About You

You're a hands‑on finance professional who understands the detail but also enjoys helping other people succeed.

Organised, accurate and commercially aware, you're comfortable managing competing priorities and spotting where a process could work better.

You'll likely bring

• At least 3 years' experience within finance or accounting.
• Previous experience leading, supervising or coaching a finance team.
• Strong practical knowledge of Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable.
• Experience managing operational workloads, deadlines and competing priorities.
• Exposure to cash forecasting, treasury or banking processes.
• Strong Excel and accounting systems skills.
• Excellent attention to detail and a strong control mindset.
• Confident communication and relationship‑building skills.
• A proactive, solutions‑focused approach to problems.
• The ability to work independently while contributing to wider finance team objectives.
• You'll Thrive Here If You
• Enjoy leading from the front rather than managing from a distance.
• Stay organised and accurate when things get busy.
• Naturally look for ways to improve processes.
• Take ownership rather than waiting to be asked.
• Enjoy developing people and seeing your team succeed.
• Are comfortable working in an ambitious, fast‑moving environment.

What Are The Gains?

• Monthly Bulk Bank Benefits Allowance.
• Subsidised Gym Membership.
• Optional Additional Annual Leave.
• Medicash Healthcare Benefits.
• Enhanced Maternity & Paternity Leave.

You'll be joining a high-growth brand that's ambitious about where it's going and equally ambitious about developing the people helping it get there.

For you, that means the opportunity to strengthen your leadership experience, influence how finance operations are delivered and help shape better processes as the business continues to evolve.

It's a role for someone who wants to lead people, own the detail and make finance operations better - not simply keep the existing processes ticking over.
