About Us
Yallah Coffee is a specialty coffee roaster and retailer with a passion for ethical sourcing and sustainability. We believe that coffee can be a force for positive change in the world, and we are committed to using our business to make a difference.

The Opportunity
We're looking for an Accounts & Finance Manager to own our finances end to end; running the day-to-day accounts and delivering the monthly management reports. This is a genuine all-round finance role with real influence on how the business is run.

As the business grows, this role grows with it. Continuous improvement runs through everything we do, our systems, our processes and our people. We're looking for someone with ambition who wants to work hard and become a leading figure in our company.

What you'll do

• Own the day-to-day finances: bookkeeping, bank reconciliations, supplier payments, expenses
• Manage credit control & aged receivables. 
• Prepare and submit VAT returns and work with our external accountants on year-end and tax.
• Forecast and manage cash flow.
• Produce monthly management accounts.
• Develop profitability reporting by product, brand and sales channel using Xero, Shopify Plus and our analytics tools.
• Prepare budgets for Director approval and meet monthly with our Marketing and E-Commerce Managers to review spend, ROI and pricing.

Who this suits
This role is built for someone who wants more than a bookkeeping job. The transactional work is the foundation, not the ceiling. Within your first year, you will be producing management accounts and margin reporting that directly shape business decisions and you will present your findings to the senior team every month.

You might be AAT Level 4 qualified and ready for a bigger role, part qualified CIMA or ACCA looking for a business that will fund your studies, or qualified by experience and hungry for more responsibility. What matters most is ambition. If you want to keep the books tidy and go home, this is not the role for you. If you want to grow into the finance lead of an ambitious company, it is.

Our Promise To You
We aim to be best in class employers, creating a working environment for our staff that enables them to thrive and be the best they can be. We will always put our people at the heart of our decision making and will always be open, inclusive and transparent.

What you'll need

• Solid double entry bookkeeping and financial administration experience.
• AAT Level 4, part qualified CIMA/ACCA or equivalent experience.
• Ability to oversee management accounts and financial analysis confidently. Develop profitability reporting by product, brand and sales channel using Xero and Shopify.
• Experience with intercompany accounting, as the businesses has two separate limited companies
• Retail or e-commerce experience, ideally with Shopify or similar (we use A2X)
• Sharp analytical skills and exceptional attention to detail.
• The ambition to develop into management accounts and financial analysis. This is a requirement of the role, not a nice-to-have.

Nice to have

• Carbon literacy reporting
• Payroll experience.
