Management Accountant in London

We are looking for a commercially aware, hands-on Management Accountant to take ownership of our month end close and day-to-day operational finance across both our UK and US entities. Reporting directly to the Financial Controller, you will be the engine of our finance operations, a safe pair of hands who gets into the detail, owns the process, and builds from a strong foundation.

We are looking for someone already operating confidently as a Management Accountant who is ready to own a function, as opposed to someone learning the ropes. In return, you will have real scope, genuine progression, and the chance to shape how finance scales at Adarga.

Month End Close & Controls

• Own the UK and US month end close timetable, managing delivery to WD5 through close coordination with our outsourced accountants

• Prepare and review journals, accruals and prepayments

• Review outsourced bookkeeping outputs and drive timely corrections

• Maintain audit-ready balance sheet reconciliations across all entities

• Own inter-company reconciliations between UK and US entities

Operational Finance

• Own the full procure-to-pay cycle end to end (AP processing, invoice approvals, expense tool administration and payments) with a view to bringing currently outsourced AP in-house in the UK, and potentially the US, as the finance function matures

• Process sales invoices and manage all aspects of accounts receivable

• Maintain the weekly cash flow forecast

Group Reporting & Consolidation

• Support the group consolidation process and monthly reporting pack

• Liaise with external accountants (UK and US) and our US-based finance team

Commercial Finance & Business Partnering

• Support maintenance of the rolling forecast model and assist with the annual budget cycle, including departmental input and variance commentary

• Act as the day-to-day point of contact for finance queries across the business — the face of the finance function for internal stakeholders on operational and transactional matters

• Contribute to improving close workflows and reducing manual processes over time

Essential requirements

• Already operating as a Management Accountant with 3-6 years of relevant finance experience

• Fully qualified (ACA, ACCA, CIMA) or part-qualified and progressing

• Has owned or run significant elements of a month end close, not just contributed to one

• Comfortable getting into the detail. This is a hands-on role that spans the transactional and the technical

• Strong Excel skills and a process-improvement mindset

• Confident managing external providers and driving results through others

• Comfortable in a high-growth, agile environment where pace and pragmatism matter

Desirable requirements

• Experience spanning both UK and US entities

• Familiarity with intercompany reconciliations and group consolidation

• Experience supporting insourcing of previously outsourced finance functions

• FP&A exposure
