Commercial Finance Manager

White Stuff
London

White Stuff was established in 1985 through a simple idea. This idea grew and now we have shops and concessions in the UK and internationally, selling women’s and men’s clothing as well as beautiful accessories and homeware. Our original prints (all designed in house), intricate details and considered design touches reflect our personality and make us subtly distinctive.

Our people are at the heart of our brand, constantly moving and driving us forward. We’re sociable, talented and likeminded and we’re not hierarchical or political in how we do business. We encourage entrepreneurial ideas and accountability at all levels.

  • A proactive, results driven approach, with the ability to challenge constructively and support teams in making informed decisions.

  • Solid understanding of budgeting, forecasting and month‑end processes.

  • Comfortable working with large data sets and financial systems, with strong Excel skills and a problem-solving mindset to analyse, interpret and improve processes.

  • Well organised, able to manage multiple priorities and deliver to deadlines.

  • A collaborative mindset, with a willingness to get involved, learn and adapt as the business evolves.
