Part-Time Finance & Planning Manager

Yes Friends is hiring a part-time finance & planning manager as we grow our team making ethical clothing affordable.

Who are Yes Friends?

Yes Friends exists to make ethical clothing affordable and transform the fashion industry. Small goals.

We launched in April 2021 with the £7.99 sustainable & ethical T-shirt. In our first month we sold over 4,000 T-shirts. Journalists got the memo and we were featured in The Guardian, The Independent and Sky News and received the highest ethical rating by independent ethical directory Good On You.

Since then, we’ve continued to grow our collection of affordable ethical clothing and became the first UK brand to allow customers to tip garment workers directly.

We’re now looking for a talented finance & planning manger to join us as we continue to grow our team and impact.

About The Role

You will be taking a lead on Yes Friends finance and planning, working alongside our team to keep our accounts up to date, whilst also managing our budgeting and stock ordering.

Your role will include: cash flow forecasting, monthly management accounts, quarterly VAT returns, budgeting, planning & stock ordering, bookkeeping, EU tax reporting, working with our accountants on payroll and overseeing year end accounts.

We’re looking for a positive, self-motivated individual ready to take on the challenge of a start-up. We’re a tiny company, there's not a whole set of processes or lots of people to report to. Instead, you’ll love the ownership and responsibility of playing a key role in shaping Yes Friends and seeing the direct impact your work has on the fashion industry.

You’ll need to take initiative, being up for the wild ride of growing a small company, troubleshooting problems that come your way and improving processes where you see room for growth.

• As a minimum part-qualified in finance/accounting
