Job Description

Management Accountant

Salary: £50,000 - £55,000 + benefits

Duration: Permanent

We’re working with a well-established, values-driven organisation operating across multiple entities, looking to appoint a high-calibre Management Accountant into a broad, commercially focused role.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who enjoys getting under the skin of a business — combining technical reporting with genuine business partnering and involvement in strategic projects.

The Role

This is far more than a traditional “numbers” role.

You’ll sit at the heart of the finance function, supporting senior leadership with insight, analysis and decision-making, while ensuring strong financial control across the group.

Key responsibilities will include:

• Production of monthly management accounts, including full month-end processes
• Delivering meaningful variance analysis and commentary to support decision-making
• Supporting budgeting, forecasting and long-term financial planning
• Acting as a finance business partner to non-finance stakeholders
• Preparing statutory accounts and supporting audit processes
• Ownership/support of VAT compliance and reporting across a group structure
• Monitoring income streams, costs and key performance drivers
• Supporting financial modelling for projects and strategic initiatives
• Driving improvements in systems, processes and financial controls

You’ll also play a key role in ongoing systems development and process improvement projects, helping to enhance reporting and operational efficiency.

The Person

We’re looking for someone who combines strong technical grounding with commercial awareness and curiosity.

You’ll likely be:

• ACA / ACCA / CIMA qualified (or equivalent)
• Experienced in a management accounting or finance business partnering role
• Confident producing management accounts, forecasts and statutory reporting
• Comfortable working with non-finance stakeholders and influencing decisions
• Strong in Excel and financial modelling
• Ideally experienced with VAT in a multi-entity environment

Just as important is mindset. This role would suit someone who:

• Asks “why?” — not just “what?”
• Enjoys improving processes and challenging the status quo
• Brings energy, ownership and a solutions-focused approach
• Can balance detail with the bigger commercial picture

Why Apply?

• Broad, high-impact role with real visibility to senior leadership
• Opportunity to shape process improvements and systems development
• Strong mix of technical, commercial and project exposure
• Collaborative, purpose-driven environment

If you’re looking for a role where you can genuinely add value — not just report the numbers — this is well worth a conversation.
