Are you a commercially-minded management accountant looking to step into a role where your insight genuinely shapes business decisions? We’re partnering with a high-growth, ambitious SME entering an exciting new phase. With strong momentum, increasing complexity, and a leadership team that values data-driven decision-making, the finance function is evolving into a true commercial partner to the business. This is a fantastic opportunity to join a business where your work will go beyond reporting, you’ll play a key role in understanding performance, influencing strategy, and supporting sustainable growth.

Why This Role?

• Build your commercial exposure
• Develop your influence with non-finance stakeholders
• Help shape reporting, forecasting, and decision-making processes as the business scales

What You’ll Be Doing

You’ll play a central role in delivering high-quality financial reporting and insight, including:

• Owning the monthly management accounts process (P&L, balance sheet, cash flow)
• Delivering clear, commercially focused commentary on business performance
• Leading the month-end close, including accruals, prepayments and reconciliations
• Supporting budgeting and reforecasting cycles
• Partnering with stakeholders across commercial, marketing and operations teams
• Providing financial analysis on profitability, margins and cost drivers
• Developing KPI reporting and dashboards to improve visibility
• Supporting continuous improvement of controls, processes and reporting

This is a highly visible role where your ability to turn data into insight will be critical.
