Wareouse Finance Coordinator in London

Love numbers but don't fancy being tucked away in a finance office where nobody knows your name? This could be exactly what you're looking for. We're recruiting for a Warehouse Finance Coordinator to join a fast-paced warehousing and logistics operation, where finance isn't just about balancing the books; it's about helping the operation make smarter commercial decisions. You'll work closely with warehouse and transport teams, monitoring costs, analysing performance and making sure the financial side of the operation runs as smoothly as the warehouse itself. If you enjoy working with people as much as spreadsheets, you'll fit right in.

What You'll Be Doing

• Processing purchase invoices, supplier payments and expense claims
• Reconciling supplier statements, transport invoices and warehouse charges
• Supporting accounts payable and receivable activities
• Assisting with month-end processes including accruals, prepayments and reconciliations
• Monitoring warehouse costs including labour, agency spend, transport and utilities
• Tracking budgets and investigating cost variances
• Producing weekly and monthly operational finance reports
• Supporting forecasting and budgeting activities
• Providing financial analysis to help operational and commercial decision-making
• Working closely with Warehouse Managers, Transport Managers and Operations teams
• Acting as the go-to person for finance queries relating to warehouse costs and invoices
• Supporting audits and ensuring financial controls are followed across the operation

What You'll Need

• Previous experience in a Finance Officer, Finance Assistant or similar finance role
• Strong Excel skills including Pivot Tables, Lookups and basic analysis
• Experience using accounting software or ERP systems
• Excellent numerical skills and a real eye for detail
• Confidence communicating financial information to non-finance colleagues
• The ability to manage multiple deadlines without losing accuracy
• A commercial mindset - you enjoy understanding the story behind the numbers, not just producing them
• Experience within warehousing, logistics, supply chain or transport would be a real advantage
• Studying towards AAT, ACCA or CIMA would be beneficial but isn't essential

What You Might Not Like

Let's be honest... This isn't a role where you'll quietly crunch numbers all day with your headphones on. You'll be speaking to operational teams, chasing invoices, questioning costs and occasionally asking awkward questions when something doesn't quite add up. Month-end can get busy, priorities change and you'll need to be comfortable working in a fast-moving environment. If you're someone who enjoys being part of the business rather than sitting on the sidelines, you'll probably love it.

What To Do Next

If you're looking for a finance role where your work actually influences how the business operates - not just the month-end report - I'd love to tell you more. Send me your CV and let's have a proper conversation. I'll give you the honest version of the role, the team and what they're looking for, so you can decide if it's the right move for you.
