Your new company
You will be joining a well-established, values-led organisation with a strong presence across the UK. With a large and growing operation, the organisation has a centralised finance function that provides support across multiple locations. You'll be joining a collaborative and professional finance team with a strong focus on delivering accurate financial information, improving processes and supporting wider operational teams. The organisation also offers a positive environment for individuals looking to develop their accounting career and gain broader exposure.
Your new role
As Management Accountant, you will be responsible for delivering accurate and timely financial information while working closely with Finance Business Partners and key stakeholders. Your key responsibilities will include:
- Producing accurate monthly management accounts and supporting reports
- Completing and reviewing balance sheet reconciliations
- Investigating and resolving queries relating to monthly accounts
- Supporting the budgeting and reforecasting process
- Working closely with Finance Business Partners and operational stakeholders
- Ensuring accounting policies and procedures are followed
- Supporting the Financial Accounts team during the annual audit
- Assisting with the financial onboarding of new sites
- Supporting process improvements across the finance function
- Providing ad hoc financial support to the wider finance team
What you'll need to succeed
You will be AAT qualified, or equivalent, and ideally continuing your studies towards a recognised professional qualification such as ACCA or CIMA. You will have good management accounting knowledge, including experience with month-end reporting and balance sheet reconciliations.
You will be confident using Excel and able to communicate financial information effectively to non-finance stakeholders. Strong analytical skills, attention to detail and the ability to work to deadlines are essential. Experience using ACCESS Dimensions would be advantageous but is not essential.
Please note, sponsorship is not available for this position, so applicants must already have the right to work in the UK.
What you'll get in return
This is an excellent opportunity to join a supportive finance function where you can continue developing your management accounting experience while studying towards a professional qualification. You will gain exposure to a varied workload, work closely with experienced finance professionals and have the opportunity to contribute to ongoing improvements across the finance function.
