Senior Financial Reporting Manager

London

We’re Beauty Pie. We’re the world’s first luxury beauty and wellness buyers’ club. And we’re disrupting the beauty industry, one face cream at a time. 

Before we arrived on the scene, if you wanted really great beauty products, you had to shop at traditional beauty retail - and overpay for all the crazy markups. Now, our members have access to shop from the best-quality beauty and wellness products (from the leading labs in France, Switzerland, Italy, Germany, Japan, Korea, etc) and get a bigger piece of the Beauty Pie. 

So, what will you be doing?

  • Managing the Blackline 3-way transactional reconciliation system to ensure eCommerce, Netsuite and our merchant providers record the same values

  • Maintaining Beauty Pie’s accounting policy manual 
  • A key role in the audit, overseeing the final submission of the annual Financial Statements and responsible for complex technical accounting areas. 
  • Working with the Data Engineering team to ensure systems are aligned, and that engineering builds are compatible with finance reporting and outputs.

  • Support the expansion of our financial reporting, creating advanced solutions using automation via excel , solution 7, NetSuite and lightdash
  • Maintain and improve internal controls to ensure financial integrity and mitigate risks.
  • Directly manage two finance team members, with potential for growth as the team expands, and act as a mentor to support, mentoring and develop the more junior members of the Finance team
