Big things are happening here at Claire�s. A huge global brand (we already have more than 3,500 stores worldwide), we�re now focusing our considerable energies on bringing the latest fashion accessories to high streets all over Europe � and we mean, all over Europe. While we already have some 900 stores in 10 European countries, we�re set to boost that figure to 1,300 by 2012. Ambitious? Of course. Rewarding? You bet. And we need the best talent on our team to make it happen.

Talent wise, it�s languages that are critical: as well as English, you�ll need to be fluent in French. And what will you be doing with such impressive skills?

In Accounts Payable, you�ll make sure all invoices, travel expenses and payments to employees and vendors are made promptly and accurately. Alongside this, you�ll also use your MS Office skills to ensure that we comply with payment terms, keep up our excellent payment record and capably control the department�s paperwork.

In banking, you�ll provide our European stores and internal customers with a prompt, professional banking service. And because you�re also incredibly organised and MS Office literate, we�ll also be looking to you to maintain bank reconciliation packages, inland and overseas payments, alongside answering queries from European colleagues.

Naturally, finance experience would be a definite plus, but as long as you have GCSEs in Maths and English at grade A to C (or equivalent) our training will take care of the rest - we offer abundant opportunity, support (including generous financial funding towards professional qualifications) and encouragement.

There really couldn�t be a better time to join us here at Claire�s. As we flourish, we�ll give you the opportunity to do the same � developing the skills you have, learning new ones and taking your career to places you never imagined. So, what are you waiting for?

Your far-reaching talents won�t be purely financial � they�ll be linguistic too. As well as English, you�ll need to be fluent in French, German or Dutch.

As an accountant, you�ll use your full CIMA and ACCA qualification to work closely with European colleagues, identifying areas for improvement and streamlining processes within Financial Accounting. We�ll also look to you to resolve problems and help to produce quarterly and year end accounts and budgets, including preparing for Subsidiaries Undertakings within the Claire�s Group. You�ll need to have time spent preparing month end accounts for multi-sited/ departmental organisations.

As an analyst, you�ll work closely with European colleagues, providing timely data and accurate analysis when closing our monthly accounts. Never a dull moment, you�ll move between the financial accounting and planning teams, to gain an inside-out knowledge of our Finance function. Part qualified (CIMA or ACCA), with a degree (or equivalent) in a relevant subject, you�ll have solid experience of closing month end accounts within a similar Financial Analyst role. And your broad knowledge of finance will span from reporting and analysis, to budgeting and the use of systems such as Oracle Financials. You�ll have a meticulous eye for accuracy and you�ll be a flexible, motivated asset to any team.

In return, we offer abundant opportunity, support (including generous financial funding towards professional qualifications) and encouragement.
