Accountant in Wokingham

Job description

ACCOUNTANT – FMCG / CONSUMER GOODS

Location: Wokingham – 5 days in office – Permanent

Salary: £45,000–£55,000 + benefits

Are you a hands-on accountant who loves getting close to the numbers and making a real impact?

This isn’t a “sit in the background” finance role. You’ll work directly with a trusted CFO in a growing consumer brand, helping shape finance as the business scales. You’ll own month-end processes, streamline reporting, and get exposure to every corner of the business — from cashflow to management accounts.

If you enjoy variety, pace, and the chance to build something meaningful, this role is for you.

THE BUSINESS

• Privately owned FMCG / consumer goods brand
• Finance team of 6 people
• Stunning offices in Wokingham
• Collaborative, high-energy, fun culture where effort gets noticed

THE ROLE

You’ll be a key part of the finance function, helping the business scale through:

• Month-end preparation and close
• Variance analysis and presenting results
• P&L and balance sheet reviews
• Reconciliations, journals, and ledger control
• Management accounts preparation
• Year-end support, audit, and statutory accounting
• Cashflow support and invoicing when needed
• Process improvements and streamlining finance operations
• Working in Xero to simplify reporting and controls

YOUR PROFILE

• Part-Qualified / Finalist Accountant (CIMA / ACCA)
• SME experience, preferably in FMCG or consumer goods
• Strong month-end and technical accounting skills
• Comfortable with pace, change, and growth
• Confident using Xero (or similar cloud platforms)
• Positive, proactive, and collaborative mindset
• Happy to be office-based, close to the team

WHY APPLY

This is a role where you’ll see your impact in real-time. You’ll work closely with a CFO who values your ideas, be part of a business scaling fast, and have the chance to build a modern finance function from the ground up. No layers, no bureaucracy — just visibility, ownership, and real influence.

Salary & Benefits: £45,000–£55,000 + benefits, office-based 5 days per week
