Management Accountant

Job content

Founded over 20 years ago by three entrepreneurial women with a passion for beautiful, practical and comfortable homes, OKA is more than a furniture and homeware retailer: it is a love affair with living well.

We inspire people to confidently create a home that reflects their personality, a space where nothing should be too precious or perfect to be enjoyed with family and friends. British-born, today we have 13 stores across the UK – and are excited to open our third store in the US in late 2022 – an established Interior Design and Trade business, a mail-order service, thriving website and an app.
