Company Overview

Forbidden Planet is a specialist pop culture retailer operating 19 stores across the UK and Ireland and a majority owned joint venture in New York, with group turnover of £32m. The business operates across multiple legal entities, including UK and Irish operations, and has international exposure.

Following a period of significant growth and transformation, the business is focused on strengthening its financial controls, reporting capability, governance, and systems, while maintaining a lean and commercially disciplined operating model.

Role Summary

The Management Accountant will play a pivotal role in delivering accurate financial reporting, insightful analysis, and performance metrics to support commercial decision-making in a high-volume retail environment. The role will drive improved financial control, reporting efficiency, and business performance visibility across multiple retail locations and cost centres.

Key Responsibilities

Management Accounts & Reporting:

· Prepare full monthly management accounts including P&L, balance sheet, and cashflow statements.

· Produce detailed variance analysis (actual vs budget, YoY, week-on-week trends).

· Maintain robust accruals, prepayments, intercompany, and fixed asset journals.

· Ensure timely and accurate balance sheet reconciliations for all control accounts.

· Develop and improve monthly board reporting packs, dashboards, and commentary.

· Support stock accounting, shrinkage reporting, cost-of-sales accuracy, and margin analysis.

· Produce weekly sales, margin and KPI reporting for senior leadership.

· Partner with operations to analyse store performance and identify profit drivers.

Budgeting, Forecasting & Planning:

· Assist with the annual budgeting process and quarterly reforecasts.

· Build forecasting models for sales, margins, overheads, and cashflow.

· Identify financial risks and opportunities with mitigation or action plans.

Commercial & Operational Support:

· Provide financial insight on promotions, pricing, and category performance.

· Support business cases for new store openings, refurbishments, or operational investments.

· Monitor cost-saving initiatives and track benefits realisation.

Controls, Compliance & Audit:

· Strengthen financial controls and uphold compliance with accounting standards.

· Lead audit queries relating to management accounts.

· Proactively drive improvements in reporting processes and system automation.

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)

Reporting Accuracy & Timeliness:

· Management accounts delivered by Working Day 5 each month.

· Zero material errors identified in internal or external reviews.

· 100% completion of balance sheet reconciliations monthly.

Commercial Value & Insight:

· Delivery of monthly insight commentary highlighting key drivers and recommended actions.

· Accuracy of forecasts within ±3–5% of actual outcomes.

· Demonstrable support to commercial teams resulting in margin improvement or cost savings.

Operational Efficiency:

· Reduction in reporting time through automation (target: 10–20% time saving per quarter).

· Improvement of data integrity KPIs (e.g., reducing data discrepancies by 20% YoY).

Stakeholder Satisfaction:

· Positive feedback from Financial Controller, Store Managers, and Operations team measured via periodic stakeholder review.

Requirements

Qualifications:

· Part-qualified or finalist: ACCA / CIMA / ACA.

· Strong management accounting experience ideally within retail or multi-site environment.

· Experience in ERP systems such as SAGE 200 or Dynamics 365 BC.

Personal Attributes:

· Analytical and commercially minded.

· Strong communicator across financial and non-financial stakeholders.
