Role Purpose

The Accounting Manager sits within the FP&A team and has end‑to‑end accountability for the UK&I month‑end close and SG&A accounting, ensuring timely delivery, high‑quality outputs, and strong financial discipline across the Finance function.

The role leads the day‑to‑day operation of the month‑end close, including oversight and management of the offshore Management Accounting team, setting clear standards, expectations, and timelines to ensure a predictable, well‑controlled close. The role also carries direct line management responsibility for an FP&A Analyst with specific accountability for Direct Marketing spend, providing day-to-day guidance, objective-setting, and performance oversight for this individual.

Operating as an accounting lead within FP&A, the role is the owner of P&L integrity for SG&A, combining technical accounting judgement with strong process ownership and cross‑functional business partnering. In particular, the role partners closely with HR and IS, providing clear oversight of actual and forecasted spend, ensuring costs are well understood, appropriately controlled, and consistently reflected across accounting outcomes and forward‑looking views.

The focus of the role is on ownership, control, and continuous improvement, ensuring accounting outputs are robust, explainable, and trusted by FP&A, Financial Accounting, and functional leadership.

Key Responsibilities

1. Month‑End Close Leadership

Own and coordinate the UK&I month‑end close process, with specific accounting ownership for UK&I SG&A.

Lead the day‑to‑day execution of close activities, including management of the offshore Management Accounting team, ensuring clear ownership, sequencing, and deadlines.

Ensure close activities are:

Timely and predictable

Clearly owned with appropriate review and sign‑off

Performed in line with group accounting policies and financial controls

Act as the primary escalation point for close issues, resolving problems pragmatically and at pace.

Drive continuous improvement in close efficiency, quality, and discipline.

Ensure a clean, well‑understood bridge from actuals to forecast and plan.

2. SG&A Accounting Ownership & Business Partnering

Own the end‑to‑end accounting for SG&A, ensuring costs are:

Complete and accurately recorded

Correctly classified and allocated

Consistently reflected across actuals, forecasts, and plans

Act as the finance lead for SG&A accounting outcomes, partnering particularly closer with HR and IS

Provide clear visibility and challenge on actual and forecasted spend, ensuring variances are understood, explainable, and actioned where appropriate.

Act as point of accountability for SG&A month‑end results, including:

Accruals and prepayments

Provisions and estimates

Review of material movements versus prior period and forecast

Apply accounting judgement consistently, balancing technical accuracy with commercial understanding.

3. P&L Integrity, Review & Governance

Act as custodian of SG&A P&L integrity, ensuring:

Clear ownership of cost lines

Consistent application of accounting policies

Robust and supportable use of judgement and estimates

Engage directly with Cost Centre Managers to:

Ensure SG&A spend is well understood, appropriately planned, and clearly explained

Challenge cost trends, timing, and classification where required

Reinforce accountability for cost control and financial discipline

Review and challenge unusual items, trends, or reclassifications, working collaboratively with:

Cost Centre Managers

HR and IS business partners

FP&A colleagues

Provide direct line management for the FP&A Analyst responsible for Direct Marketing spend, including regular 1:1s, objective-setting, performance reviews, and professional development support.

Ensure accounting outcomes are transparent, explainable, and auditable, with no reliance on post‑close fixes or unexplained variances.

Maintain high‑quality documentation supporting key judgements, estimates, and cost ownership.

4. Controls, Standards & Best Practice

Ensure SG&A accounting and close processes operate within a strong financial controls framework.

Define and embed clear standards and expectations for:

Accrual quality

Documentation and audit evidence

Review and approval processes

Share best practice across Accounting and FP&A teams, improving consistency and reducing key‑person dependency.

Partner with Internal Audit and Control teams, addressing findings promptly and sustainably.

Skills & Experience

Essential

Qualified accountant (ACA / ACCA / CIMA or equivalent).

Strong technical understanding of P&L accounting and month‑end close.

Proven experience owning close processes in a complex organisation.

Experience leading or coordinating offshore or shared‑service teams.

Confident applying judgement, challenging constructively, and setting standards.

Ability to translate accounting detail into clear, practical outcomes for non‑finance stakeholders.

Desirable

Experience in SG&A‑heavy environments.

Exposure to SAP or a similar ERP.

Experience operating in audit‑facing control environments.

Experience of line managing or directly developing at least one team member, with the ability to set clear objectives and build capability.

What Success Looks Like

Month‑end close is predictable, well‑controlled, and trusted.

SG&A results are clean, well‑explained, and distribution clearly owned by Finance.

HR and IS have clear visibility of actual and forecasted spend, with no surprises.

Accounting issues are identified early and resolved at source, not during audit.

Best practice is shared and embedded, not reliant on individuals.

FP&A operate as one coherent finance team.

The FP&A Analyst is well-supported, clear on priorities, and producing trusted Direct Marketing reporting.
