JOULES / GROUP FINANCE MANAGEMENT ACCOUNTANT

We have a fantastic opportunity to join our Group Management and Accounting Finance team as a Management Accountant.

As a Management Account in Group Finance, you not only get to see the bigger picture of Finance but you also get to be a part of seeing the decisions the business have made as well as the impact that this has created.

Working within a team of 16 you will get to be a part of a team who are dynamic and forward thinking.

About the role:

A large proportion of your time will be spent helping to prepare information on the financial results of Joules, working closely with other teams across the finance department to prepare monthly management accounts, budgets, forecasts and manage associated intercompany balances. On top of this, you\'ll help prepare year end statutory reporting, the statutory accounts and prepare supporting analysis. You\'ll be involved in helping to ensure that Joules integrates into the financial systems and controls of the wider NEXT Group, with a particular focus on any legacy balances being accurately reported and controlled on an ongoing basis.

Aside from Joules, you\'ll also be involved in assisting with our international trading divisions - you\'ll be one of the key points of contact with third party advisors ensuring that they receive the right information at the right time for local reporting requirements. This will involve you liaising with other finance and non-finance teams across Next. You\'ll help manage intercompany balances with the rest of the group and prepare and review balance sheet reconciliations for these divisions.

You\'ll also have the opportunity to work with our other established group divisions and help review their balance sheets on a regular basis.

This is such an exciting opportunity for someone who is qualified, has some good experience behind them and who is hungry to develop their career with one of the most successful retailers in the FTSE100.

This role is predominately based at our head office in Leicestershire with occasional remote working.

About you:

• You are a qualified accountant with experience of monthly financial reporting and financial systems.
• You will have a track record of developing and improving financial controls.
• You will be well organised with the ability to effectively manage and prioritise a wide range of tasks.
• A great communicator, you will build excellent relationships with key stakeholders across our Brand and Group finance teams and be comfortable communicating with different levels of management.
• You have excellent attention to detail and the ability to deliver accurate work within challenging deadlines.
• You thrive in a fast paced, busy environment.
• Experienced user of Microsoft Excel.
• Experience of preparing statutory accounts.
• Highly numerate.
