OTTO JAMES CONSULTING is supporting a SME business based in Hale. My client is looking to recruit into a newly created Management Accounting position, reporting to the senior board of directors, managing a finance team, which they will be tasked with growing.
The role of Management Accountant has come about following a restructure of the organisation, which has created increased exposure at senior level to finance and the scope that this division can offer. There is now a greater emphasis on commercially relevant information, and added value to the business as a whole.
As the Financial Controller, you will be in a pivotal role within the business, increasing the control measures around budgeting, forecasting, and reporting. You will have exposure to the wider non-finance functions, ensuring that all variables from internal and external operations are taken into account. This will include:
- Comprehensive management reporting
- Performance measurement on performance & efficiencies
- Forecasting & Budgeting
- Mergers & Acquisitions
- Establishing, creating & maintaining appropriate processes/systems to ensure effective financial and business controls
The successful newly qualified accountant (open to applications in final exams) is encouraged to engage with Operations and Sales Directors, to help drive finance's exposure across the business. Your skills as an accounting professional and a commercial manager will be utilised to show clients that this organisation values its internal talent and uses them to the best of their ability.
This is a challenging role that would best suit a talented qualified accountant who has the ability to communicate at a high level, build relationships, develop processes, and understand the necessity of Finance in an internal and external stakeholder-facing position.
