The Opportunity

Nominate Recruitment is delighted to be working with a successful FMCG company based in Belfast to recruit an experienced

This is an excellent opportunity for an ambitious finance professional to join a busy Finance Team and gain exposure to a broad range of finance responsibilities, working closely with the Finance Director, Finance Manager, Commercial and Sales teams, as well as external logistics partners and suppliers.

  • Assist with the stock purchase ledger and order control, including processing purchase orders, recording shipping and receipt details, and tracking supplier and intercompany movements.
  • Manage the non-stock purchase ledger, including processing and coding invoices, obtaining approvals, maintaining the purchase order system and assisting with monthly payment runs.
  • Deal with supplier queries and liaise with internal budget holders as required.
  • Collate monthly recharges for submission to relevant brand owners.
  • Produce daily and month-end reports, including Daily Sales, FOC, Depletion, Stock and Debtors Reports.
  • Ensure appropriate monthly reconciliations are completed accurately and on time.
  • Assist with invoice financing declarations and the processing of payments and drawdowns to support effective cash-flow management.
  • Take a hands-on approach to supporting the wider Finance Team across all aspects of the business.
  • Assist with maintaining effective accounting internal controls and ensuring continued compliance.
  • Work closely with the Finance Director and Finance Manager in the preparation of financial reports, including monthly management accounts and annual statutory accounts.
  • Build effective working relationships across Finance, Commercial, Sales, Logistics and external suppliers.

About You

We are looking for someone who is:

  • Experienced within an Accounts/Finance environment, with a minimum of 3 years' experience
  • Ideally part-qualified or IATI trained.
  • Highly competent with excellent attention to detail.
  • Ambitious, motivated and committed, with a strong work ethic.
  • Confident working in a busy, fast-paced environment.
  • A quick learner who can adapt to new processes and systems.
  • Energetic and enthusiastic, with a willingness to support the wider team.
  • A strong communicator who can build positive relationships with colleagues, customers and suppliers.
  • Comfortable working independently while also contributing effectively as part of a small Finance Team.
