Travis Perkins are currently recruiting for a Stock Finance Manager to join our progressive and professional Finance department.

  • Developing commercially focused obsolete stock reporting including actionable insights for supply chain teams to reduce the level of ‘dead stock’ in the business 
  • Providing effective control and ownership of the stock balance sheet control accounts and resolving queries arising from review. 
  • Managing the year end and subsequent audit process for stock, ensuring effective delivery of our auditor’s requirements on time and to a high standard. 
  • Taking a lead role for change management for stock finance in any implementation of a new finance system. 
  • Providing support and guidance on ad hoc projects to improve processes relating to gross margin and other stock-related areas. 
What we’re looking for: 

To be considered, you’ll need to be a qualified accountant with proven experience within a large company or a top 4 Accountancy firm. You’ll be highly ambitious and have proven accounting experience and strong excel skills. 

If this matches with your requirements then we can't wait for you to apply!
