The retail industry employs in excess of 2.5 million people which equates to 11% of the total UK workforce. With the industry having a turnover in excess of Ł250 billion in the UK alone, this is an extremely buoyant and commercial market for an accountant to apply their trade to.

With the industry increasing its recruitment intake over the next 4years, retail is an enormously proactive industry for an accountant to be part of, with a growing number of retail accounting jobs becoming available.

In retail accounting jobs, the individual will be closely looking at supply chain, depot costs and corporate stock costs throughout a number of business units. This is a volume based sector in which any individual within finance will need to have a strong commercial awareness of the overall business objective and this is assisted by the important usage of ERP financial systems.
