Financial Reporting Manager
The successful Financial Reporting Manager will help develop and build a world class finance operation from the ground up to support high growth of a tech scale-up.
About Us
Snappy Shopper is the market leader in the growing Q-commerce convenience grocery sector, worth £41b in the UK. In addition to our independent retailers, we serve most of the major convenience store players, including Spar, Nisa, Premier and Booker.
Snappy exists to enable local high street businesses to serve their customers online so that local communities thrive, and revenue stays local. Retailers have seen revenue uplifts of between £5k and £120k per month, making the platform mission critical to local business.
This role represents a rare and exciting opportunity to join the business at an incredibly important time, playing a key role in developing the finance function.
Our location
We are a Scottish start-up with 120 colleagues based around the UK and our Head Office is located in Dundee.
This is a hybrid role with occasional occasional travel to Dundee and Edinburgh required.
About the Role
You will work closely with the Group Financial Controller (GFC) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO) to develop and build a world class finance operation from the ground up to support business growth. As with all high growth start-ups there is a degree of fluidity around this role; priorities and deliverables will shift regularly based on business needs and as such, it's important that you take ownership, roll your sleeves up and get stuck in.
Thus, the responsibilities listed below are directional rather than fixed:
- Work with the GFC and CFO to develop and build a world class finance operation from the ground up to support business growth
- Support the GFC in managing the core finance operation including preparation of the monthly management accounts, board reporting and statutory accounts.
- Own the monthly financial close process by operating both hands on (for example, by preparing reconciliations and posting journals) and reviewing the work of colleagues and peers
- Own relationships with key stakeholders including interdepartmental peers, external auditors and investors
- Take the lead in ensuring the company’s compliance bar is met, including managing external auditors and tax advisors
- Develop and implement scalable, automated financial processes across the business
- Put in place and maintain a strong control environment that protects the business from risk
As a start-up, the future is ever-changing, and you will be involved in wide-ranging projects supporting the GFC and CFO based on business needs.
