Are you a part-qualified accountant ready to take ownership of reporting processes and make a real impact?
Do you enjoy turning complex financial data into clear, meaningful insight for non-finance stakeholders?
Looking for a role where you can develop, challenge the status quo, and grow your career in a supportive finance team at Vitacress?

In this role you’ll…

• Work closely with the Financial Reporting Manager and Finance Business Partners to ensure financial information is clearly communicated across the business.
• Take ownership of key finance processes, particularly around the balance sheet, fixed costs, and fixed asset management.
• Manage the fixed asset register, including capitalisation, depreciation, disposals, and reconciliations to the general ledger.
• Support weekly and monthly reporting cycles, including forecasts, KPI reporting, and management accounts preparation.
• Produce accruals, cost centre reporting, and IFRS 16 lease accounting, working directly with budget holders.
• Contribute to intercompany accounting, payroll validation, and month-end close activities.
• Assist with budgeting, forecasting, statutory accounts, and year-end audit processes.
• Get involved in ad hoc finance projects and continuous improvement initiatives to drive efficiency.

You’ll do this for us…

• Deliver accurate, timely, and insightful financial reporting that supports decision‑making across Vitacress.
• Build strong relationships with stakeholders, helping non‑finance teams understand financial performance.
• Ensure robust control and management of financial processes, particularly across fixed assets and overheads.
• Support forecasting and budgeting processes by working closely with cost centre owners.
• Improve financial processes by identifying inefficiencies and implementing better ways of working.
• Contribute to a high‑performing finance team that values quality, accountability, and continuous improvement.

You can do this if you have…

• Part‑qualified accountant status (ACA, ACCA, or CIMA), with a desire to complete your qualification.
• Experience in a finance function with exposure to reporting, forecasting, and month‑end processes.
• Strong numerical and analytical skills, with advanced Excel capability and ERP system experience (IFS is a plus).
• An understanding of financial reporting concepts such as accruals, fixed assets, and ideally IFRS 16.
• The ability to produce clear financial reports and analysis (e.g. KPIs, Capex proposals, payback assessments).
• A proactive mindset, with the ability to review processes and suggest improvements.
• Excellent communication skills, with the confidence to explain financial information to non‑finance stakeholders.
• High attention to detail, a self‑starting attitude, and a collaborative, team‑focused approach.
