Job Description
Management Accountant | Lincoln | On-site
£55,000 – £60,000
Permanent | Full-time
We’re partnering with a growing, commercially driven organisation to recruit a Management Accountant into a highly visible, business-facing finance role.
This position is ideal for a Qualified or later-stage Part Qualified accountant who enjoys working closely with operational teams, adding challenge, and helping drive better decisions through clear and insightful financial support.
The Role
This is a genuine business partnering opportunity rather than a pure reporting role. You’ll work closely with stakeholders across the organisation, acting as a trusted finance contact and supporting both operational performance and future planning.
Key responsibilities include:
- Producing timely, accurate management information with clear insight and commentary
- Supporting budgeting, forecasting and regular performance reviews
- Business partnering with non-finance teams, providing guidance and constructive challenge
- Analysing costs, trends and variances to support informed decision-making
- Contributing financial input to projects, initiatives and improvement activity
- Maintaining strong balance sheet control and robust core processes
- Continuously improving reporting quality, controls and financial awareness
About You
You’ll be comfortable in a hands-on role and confident engaging with stakeholders outside of finance.
You are likely to bring:
- Qualified status (ACA / ACCA / CIMA) or be in the latter stages of qualification
- Experience within management accounting, finance business partnering or a similar role
- Strong Excel and analytical capability
- A commercial, inquisitive mindset
- The ability to communicate financial information clearly and pragmatically
Why Apply?
This is an opportunity to join a business where finance has a voice, with real influence on performance and decision-making. The role offers exposure, responsibility and development for someone looking to strengthen their partnering skills in a stable, evolving organisation.
A competitive salary of £55,000 – £60,000 is available. The role is on-site in Lincoln and offers long-term progression as the business continues to grow.
