Môrwell Talent Solutions is delighted to be supporting a growing and ambitious business in Newport as they embark on an exciting acquisition. As a result, my client is seeking an experienced Management Accountant to join on an initial 3‑month fixed‑term contract, with the potential to extend to 6 months.

This is a hands‑on role, ideal for someone who thrives in a fast‑paced, evolving environment and enjoys building processes from the ground up.

  • Period‑end cut‑off procedures
• Working closely with the existing bookkeeper and General Manager to improve financial processes
• Reviewing and enhancing accounting policies and procedures alongside the Group Financial Controller to establish strong internal controls
• Supporting the integration of the acquired business into group reporting standards

• Comfortable working in a hands‑on, process‑building environment
• Experience within acquisitions, integrations, or start‑ups is highly advantageous
• Strong interpersonal skills, with the ability to work sensitively within an owner‑managed, entrepreneurial environment
• Familiarity with Microsoft Dynamics 365 would be beneficial
• Open to QBE or AAT qualified candidates (qualifications are less important than experience)
