Hero Media & Entertainment (HM&E) is a fast-growing media investment company, part of the Hero Brands Group, building a portfolio of digital publishing, video platforms, live events and specialist information businesses across the UK.
Since launching at the start of 2026, HM&E has already acquired Dundee Press Agency, KD Media Ltd, Daily Business and Scottish Bar & Pub Awards - with its own digital news channel, Scottish News. com, launching on 28th August 2026.
Iconic Resourcing is retained exclusively to find HM&E's first dedicated Management Accountant - a genuine day-one hire who'll help build the finance function from scratch, working closely with the wider Hero Brands finance team.
The opportunity
This isn't a role where you're stepping into something established - you'll be shaping the processes, systems and reporting that HM&E relies on as it scales.
That includes supporting the integration of new acquisitions.
Reporting into Hero Brands' Finance Manager, with a dotted line to HM&E's CEO, you'll have real visibility and ownership from the outset.
- What you'll be doing
- Owning month-end close, from accruals and prepayments through to the management accounts pack for CFO and management team review
- Reconciling inter-company accounts, drafting journals, and preparing VAT returns
- Supporting weekly sales reporting for the HM&E management team
- Processing sales and purchase ledger invoices, and looking for ways to automate manual work
- Supporting the integration of acquisitions to bring consistent management accounts reporting across the group
- Monitoring and forecasting cash position
- Getting involved in ad hoc projects supporting the CFO and wider management team
What we're looking for
Solid month-end and management accounting experience, and the ability to stay organised and prioritise in a fast-changing, fast-growing environment.
Candidates can be qualified (ACCA/CIMA/ICAS) or QBE.
Exposure to Xero and/or Zoho would be a bonus, but isn't essential.
Personality fit is key, you’ll need to be someone with a real get-up-and-go attitude, a problem solver and keen to join something that is a genuine building opportunity, rather than a straightforward Accountant role.
Iconic Resourcing is an equal opportunities employer and all applications will be treated as such. We act as both an employment business and an employment agency.
