We're working with a fast-growing, Irish-founded consumer brand that's making waves across the beauty and wellness industry. Known for its innovation, quality, and loyal customer base, this brand is expanding its operations into the UK - and they need a skilled finance professional to help lead the transition.
The Role
This is a high-impact position that blends technical accounting, project management, and business partnering. You'll take full ownership of the transfer of trade from the Irish entity to the UK entity - including structuring, compliance, and systems setup - while also supporting broader finance activities within a small, collaborative team.
You will join them initially on a 6 month contract and they are operating with a hybrid working model.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead the trade transfer from Ireland to the UK, ensuring all processes are structured, documented, and executed smoothly.
- Set up initial accounting systems and processes for the UK entity.
- Liaise with UK Companies House, HMRC, Revenue (Ireland), and other regulatory bodies to ensure compliance.
- Align filing dates across entities and ensure reporting deadlines meet group requirements.
- Support Accounts Payable and Receivable teams in adapting processes and ensuring invoice compliance.
- Complete balance sheet reconciliations and establish clear intercompany accounting processes.
- Partner with budget holders to manage monthly budget reviews.
- Assist in audit preparation and ongoing finance support as needed.
About You
- Fully qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA, or equivalent).
- Solid experience with cross-border transactions, entity setup, or financial restructuring.
- Knowledge of UK and Irish tax and regulatory frameworks.
- Comfortable liaising with external bodies and leading change.
- Strong attention to detail and a proactive, hands-on attitude.
- Excellent communication skills and a team-first mindset.
