Finance Analyst

Short Description

On behalf of our client, a US-based consumer goods company specializing in premium baby and toddler products, we are looking for a motivated Finance Analyst to join their team.

Description

Why This Role Stands Out

• Direct mentorship. You'll work day to day with the VP who runs finance and operations for the brand. Real coaching, not a monthly check-in.
• Full-business visibility from day one. DTC, Amazon, and wholesale. Most analysts at this stage see one channel and one quarter. You'll see all of it.
• You build the infrastructure. There's real scope to automate and centralise how we report, and you'll own that work.
• No bureaucracy. Speed, ownership, and high learning velocity.

If you're an ambitious analyst who wants to understand how a profitable consumer brand actually works and contribute to growth, rather than produce reports nobody reads, this is the seat.What You'll Do

• Own the monthly close. Run it to a fixed calendar and land it by the 7th every month
• Reconcile revenue and fees across every channel. Shopify, Amazon, Faire, and the wholesale order system all settle differently. You'll make them agree.
• Build the monthly management pack. P&L by channel, margin analysis, cost trends, and the commentary that goes with it.
• Own the cash flow forecast. Keep it current and make it useful.
• Automate and centralise the reporting. Data sits across Shopify, QuickBooks Online, Amazon Seller Central, and the wholesale system. Build the pipelines that pull it together so the analysis takes minutes rather than days.
• Run analysis on real commercial questions. Channel profitability, software and OpEx spend, inventory positions, pricing and promotion performance.
• Support AP and AR, including finding and recovering under-billed wholesale revenue.
• Work with our external tax advisors and auditors on statutory reporting and audit requests.

Requirements

Who You Are

• 1 to 3 years in an accounting or finance role, in practice or in industry
• Fluent English, written and spoken
• Based in a timezone within roughly two hours of UK time.
• Excellent in Excel or Sheets. Lookups, pivots, and building things other people can actually use.
• Strong on the mechanics: general ledger, journals, accruals, reconciliations. You know what a clean close looks like.
• AI native. You use AI daily as a force multiplier: reconciling and cleaning data, drafting analysis, automating the repetitive parts of your own job. 
• Precise
• Coachable, ambitious, and genuinely interested in the business rather than just the numbers.
• Comfortable working remotely with real autonomy

Bonus points (not required):

• Part-qualified or studying towards ACCA, CIMA, ACA, or a local equivalent
• QuickBooks Online experience
• Ecommerce or consumer goods background, particularly Shopify or Amazon
• SQL, Python, or comparable tooling for pulling and joining data
• Multi-currency and multi-entity experience
