Keep stock control tight and reconciliations tighter
Manage debtors, creditors, and financial procedures
Perform balance sheet reconciliations that actually balance
Spot deviations early and recommend smart fixes
Support the capital expenditure process and controlled expenses

Own month-end processing and financial housekeeping
Provide team supervision and support where required

1 to 2 years' stock control experience in stock-heavy environments
Experience within FMCG or wholesale industries preferred
MS Great Plains experience highly advantageous
