Candidates should also have approximately 5–6 years of relevant professional experience in accounting or finance. Experience within the retail industry will be particularly valuable because the role requires coordination with retail, inventory, merchandising, warehouse, and supply-chain functions.
Skills Required
Candidates should have a strong understanding of accounting principles and financial reporting. Practical experience with accounts payable, accounts receivable, reconciliations, costing, and financial controls will be important.
The company is also looking for candidates with:
- Excellent Microsoft Excel skills
- Experience working with ERP systems
- Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities
- Effective communication skills
- Good time-management and organizational skills
- Ability to coordinate with both financial and non-financial departments
