The Opportunity Are you an accounting professional with a commercial outlook and a knack for multi-currency finance? Pineapple Recruitment are exclusively representing a well-established, global leader in the industrial and commodities sector based in Oldbury. As the Commercial Accountant, this isn't your typical "back-office" accounting role.

Key Responsibilities:
Financial Administration & Operations

Trader Liaison: Actively support the trading team with contract input, pricing, and the purchasing of materials.
Metal Hedging: Assist with metal hedging activities to protect commercial margins.
Reporting: Produce monthly sales reports by country and provide detailed Trader Analysis Reporting to help drive performance.
International Treasury & Shipping
Treasury Management: Maintain and reconcile multi-currency (£, $, €) bank accounts and cashbooks.
Logistics Coordination: Manage the coordination of containers with shipping companies.
Documentation: Produce shipping and export documentation and prepare sales invoices (full training provided).
Cashflow Strategy: Provide weekly analysis for Letters of Credit (LCs) and Export Collections.
What We Are Looking For:
Experience: A minimum of 2-3 years in an accounting position within a commercially focused company that has multicurrency requirements.
The "Bonus" Skills: Previous experience with Commodities or FX Hedging will give you a distinct advantage.
Mindset: You are comfortable working on-site within a busy industrial/warehouse setting and can communicate effectively across different departments.
Qualifications: Experience over qualifications is key within this role.
Why Join? This is a rare chance to step away from repetitive ledger work and into a high-exposure role where you can see the direct impact of your work on global trade. You’ll be joining a grounded, hard-working team in a business that is a true leader in its field.
