WE'RE DIFFERENT

For nearly 20 years, sbs has achieved exceptional long\-term, compound annual growth, exceeding customer expectations by delivering thousands of activations for world\-class drinks and FMCG brands.

We take ownership of the entire activation process \- concept, design, build, production, logistics, activation and review.

Supported by our proprietary digital operating system, customer portals and our team of Brand Activation Specialists.

We're proud of what we've achieved.

We're much more excited about what comes next.

We're looking for exceptional people to help us achieve it.

THE JOB

OWN THE NUMBERS. IMPROVE THE BUSINESS.

We're looking for an exceptional Management Accountant / Finance Manager to take ownership of our day\-to\-day finance function.

This isn't a role for someone who wants to sit at the edge of the business producing reports about what happened last month.

We want someone who gets close to the operation, owns the numbers, understands what drives them and helps us make better decisions.

You'll be equally comfortable reconciling a bank account, investigating an invoice, chasing a £50k debt or missing PO, preparing an accrual, challenging unnecessary cost and producing accurate monthly management accounts.

WHAT YOU'LL OWN

You'll take responsibility for the finance cycle, including:

Monthly management accounts \-P\&L, balance sheet, cash flow, variance analysis and commentary

Day\-to\-day Xero bookkeeping

Bank and balance\-sheet reconciliations

Sales ledger, invoicing and uninvoiced/accrued revenue

PO control and resolving invoice queries

Credit control and aged debt

Purchase ledger, suppliers and payment runs

13\-week cash\-flow forecasting

Payroll preparation and pensions

VAT returns and financial compliance

Budgets, forecasts and margin analysis

Year\-end schedules and liaison with our external accountants

Improving financial systems, controls, automation, data and Ai

The objective is simple:

Accurate numbers, strong controls, great cash management. Insight to grow the business

HIGH PERFORMANCE AT sbs High performance isn't about creating unnecessary pressure.

It's about great preparation, training, clear communication, teamwork, expertise and high standards so that when the pressure comes, we're ready.

We expect everyone at sbs to:

• TAKE OWNERSHIP \- take ownership of our finance function and turn accurate financial information into better business performance.


• PAY ATTENTION TO DETAIL \- 'that'll do' is unacceptable.


• SOLVE PROBLEMS \- bring solutions, not excuses.


• SUPPORT EACH OTHER \- succeed together.


• LEARN \- stay curious and learn from successes and mistakes.


• IMPROVE \- make tomorrow better than today.

We're looking for people who are naturally optimistic, curious, hardworking and motivated.

Our Culture of Hospitality underpins everything \- it's how we make our customers, colleagues, suppliers and everyone we interact with feel.

Every decision either strengthens or weakens our culture.

That's why who joins Team sbs matters.

WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR You might already be a Management Accountant or Finance Manager, or an ambitious AAT/ACCA/CIMA accountant ready for significantly more responsibility.

Qualifications matter. Capability, attitude and character matter more.

You'll be hands\-on, commercially minded and highly organised, with strong Xero, Excel and digital systems capability and an interest in using AI and automation to improve finance and systems.

We don't want Finance simply recording history. We want Finance helping shape what happens next.

HOW WE OPERATE

We've built our own digital end\-to\-end business operating system \- sBOS.

It's our guide rails. It's non\-negotiable, but continuously improves and evolves to help us deliver our guarantee:

ON BRIEF. ON BUDGET. ON TIME. EVERY TIME.

WHAT YOU'LL GET

We're a B Corp and believe in benefit for all by sharing success.

• Competitive salary reflecting your experience and potential


• Performance\-related bonus


• Up to 25 days annual leave \+ Bank Holidays, based on seniority, responsibility, capability and performance


• Flexible start and finish times


• Company pension


• Training Tuesdays \- 90 minutes protected development every week, equivalent to around 10 days per year
