Finance Officer Wellingborough | Competitive Salary + Benefits ​ Finance isn't just about numbers – it's about making the operation perform. We're looking for a commercially minded Finance Officer who enjoys working closely with operational teams, understanding how the business works and using financial insight to drive better decisions. ​ This isn't a role where you'll spend every day hidden away in the finance office. You'll work alongside warehouse and logistics leaders, helping them understand costs, improve efficiencies and keep the operation commercially focused. ​ If you're someone who enjoys getting under the bonnet of a business, spotting opportunities for improvement and making finance meaningful to operational teams, we'd love to hear from you. ​ The Role Reporting to the Head of Warehousing & Logistics, you'll support the financial management of a busy warehouse and logistics operation. ​ You'll be responsible for ensuring financial information is accurate, costs are controlled and managers have the information they need to make informed decisions. From monitoring labour and transport spend to supporting budgets, reporting and month-end activities, you'll become a key part of the operational leadership team. ​ This is a varied role where no two days are the same, offering plenty of opportunity to get involved, influence change and develop your career. ​ What You'll Be Doing Processing purchase invoices, supplier payments and expense claims accurately and on time. ​ Reconciling supplier statements, transport invoices and warehouse-related costs. ​ Supporting accounts payable, accounts receivable and month-end processes. ​ Monitoring labour costs, agency spend, transport costs and warehouse overheads. ​ Producing weekly and monthly financial and operational reports. ​ Analysing financial performance and highlighting trends or areas for improvement. ​ Assisting with forecasting, budgeting and variance analysis. ​ Working closely with Warehouse Managers and operational teams to provide financial support and guidance. ​ Supporting audits and ensuring financial controls are maintained. ​ Identifying opportunities to improve financial processes and reporting. ​ About You You're more than an accounts professional. ​ You're naturally curious, commercially aware and enjoy understanding how finance impacts the wider business.

This is an opportunity to become a valued business partner rather than simply processing transactions. ​ You'll work closely with operational leaders, gain real exposure to how a busy logistics business operates and play a key role in helping the business make better commercial decisions. ​ If you're looking for a finance role where you can influence, improve and genuinely make a difference, we'd love to hear from you. ​ This role is being managed by Bea Ukaye in our Peterborough Branch
