I'm working with a London-based small-batch coffee roaster that supplies restaurants and cafés across the city, alongside its own cafés, export and e-commerce channels. Ethical sourcing and sustainability sit at the centre of how they trade, and the culture values honesty, ownership and fairness.

• Produce monthly sales and margin reporting across wholesale, cafés, export and e-commerce
• Partner with Commercial, Operations and the Exec team on budgets, forecasts and performance
• Lead the external audit and stay on top of VAT, payroll and statutory compliance
• Coach and develop two finance juniors
• Improve processes and systems across Xero, Shopify and other business related systems.

What you'll bring

• ACA, ACCA or CIMA qualified, or at final exam stage with strong relevant experience
• Experience running month-end and producing full management accounts
