## Description

We are seeking a Finance Manager – Fixed Assets, Tech & Lease Accounting to join our team at Sainsbury's. As a FTSE business, we operate at a large scale and move quickly. In this role, you will be responsible for maintaining accurate accounting and reporting across Argos fixed assets, technology costs, and leases.

The Finance team is responsible for ensuring capital expenditure, depreciation, technology-related costs, and lease balances are recognised correctly and supported by effective controls. This is an opportunity to lead a specialist accounting area with broad business visibility and a clear focus on simplification, automation, and better financial insight.

As Finance Manager – Fixed Assets, Tech & Lease Accounting, you will own the accurate and timely accounting for fixed assets, technology costs, and leases across the relevant Argos entities. You will prepare and review periodic, interim, and year-end accounting packs, reconcile additions, work in progress, depreciation, disposals, technology costs, and lease movements, and ensure statutory and management reporting is supported by reliable data.

Day-to-day, you will oversee Oracle Projects, fixed asset registers, and associated interfaces, and lead lease accounting activities with a particular focus on IFRS 16. You will provide technical guidance, support budgets and forecasts, coordinate audit evidence, and assess the impact of accounting policy or standards changes. You will lead and develop the Financial Accountant, manage delivery from the Accenture offshore team, and drive improvements in processes, controls, data quality, standardisation, and automation.

You will be a qualified accountant with demonstrable technical accounting knowledge and practical experience of fixed assets, capital expenditure, technology costs, or lease accounting. You will be able to interpret and apply relevant IFRS requirements, particularly IFRS 16 and standards covering property, plant, and equipment, and intangible assets, while maintaining effective balance-sheet controls and reconciliations.

You will be comfortable applying judgement to complex accounting matters and explaining conclusions clearly to Finance, Technology, Property, audit, and delivery-partner stakeholders. You will bring proven experience of setting priorities and managing delivery through colleagues or service partners, together with the organisation required to meet demanding reporting deadlines. Oracle experience would be beneficial but is not essential.
