I am a member of the Wickes Finance team: I’m a Finance Analyst for the Cash and Banking team, which forms part of the Financial Planning & Analysis team.
This is my first job after university: I graduated from The University of Northampton having taken Accounting and Sport Studies. At Wickes, a typical day for me would involve carrying out daily bank uploads and reconciliations for Wickes bank accounts, as well as actively engaging with stores resolving unreconciled items to ensure they are reflected correctly in our general ledger. I also act as a finance business partner for stores ensuring that the banking process are being implemented and that their P&L queries are resolved quickly and efficiently.There are many things that I love about working at Wickes. I love the culture. I love the camaraderie that is formed with colleagues. I love that my job challenges me every day in different ways, and that you have flexibility when needed.
My manager trusts me to produce high quality work and results, and I work hard to maintain that level of trust, which keeps me engaged and happy, but at the same time, I love that my job enables me to love and enjoy my other passions in life.I believe what makes Wickes a great place to work is the fact that everyone shares the same vision and comes together to achieve a common goal being continue growing success at Wickes. The work environment reminds me of a close-knit family.
Working at Wickes you will learn various skills and gain many valuable experiences, within a working environment where everyone is friendly, professional and always willing to help.
