Sainsbury Careers – Financial Accountant

Job Description:

Helping customers live well for less has been at the heart of what we do since 1869. Built on a heritage of bright, bold decisions we have a simple vision : to be the most trusted retailer where people love to work and shop.

Sainsbury’s has always been a pioneering business, opening the first ever self-service checkouts in 1950, and this drive for innovation is no different today. Whilst food remains our heartland, the addition of Argos, Habitat and Bank to our family has transformed what we offer to customers, making living well for less even easier.

• Support the Half Year (HY) and Full Year (FY) deliverables for OneTech
• Ownership and completion of periodic Balance Sheet account reconciliations and timely reporting of risks/opportunities
• Work closely with the OneTech Business Partnering team, building strong working relationships
• Review processes within the Team with a view to improving efficiency and accuracy of data, approaching with a continuous improvement ethos.
• Recruit and develop a strong team with ability for moving into other finance roles as opportunities

Job Requirements:

• Finalist/Qualified accountant, including experience ideally within retail or an equivalent fast-moving business
• Experience of maintaining strong financial controls
• Ideally experience of the Oracle/Blackline systems but not essential
• Strong organisational and analytical skills
