About the role
At Franco Manca, great restaurants need great teams behind them, and our Finance Team plays a key role in helping the business perform at its best.
We’re looking for a
Management Accountant to join our Support Office team.
Reporting to the Finance Manager, you’ll take on a broad, hands-on role covering month-end, management accounts, balance sheet reconciliations, fixed assets and leases.
You’ll also work closely with our restaurant operations and Support Office teams, helping colleagues understand their numbers, identify opportunities and make informed commercial decisions.
This is a brilliant opportunity for a qualified, newly qualified or finalist accountant who wants their work to be visible and make a genuine difference within a fast-moving, multi-site restaurant business.
What you’ll be doing
As Management Accountant, you’ll take ownership of key areas of our month-end and management accounting processes. You’ll:
- Own designated areas of the month-end close, including journals, accruals, prepayments and cost allocations
- Support the production of site and entity P&Ls
- Lead variance commentary against budget and forecast for your areas
- Contribute to group reporting for our international parent company
- Build strong relationships with restaurant operations and Head Office teams
- Explain financial information clearly to non-finance colleagues
- Help identify savings, risks and P&L opportunities across the business
- Own monthly balance sheet reconciliations and resolve reconciling items
- Maintain the fixed asset register, including additions, disposals and depreciation
- Maintain lease schedules and calculations under FRS 102
- Prepare year-end schedules and work directly with external auditors
- Improve workbooks, month-end processes, controls and reporting
- Help the team make better use of finance systems, automated invoice processing and BI reporting
- Support wider finance projects and ad hoc analysis as business priorities change
- What we’re looking for
You’ll be organised, commercially minded and confident working with both finance and non-finance colleagues.
You’ll take pride in producing accurate work, meeting deadlines and helping others understand what the numbers mean.
You’ll also be comfortable challenging existing processes and suggesting practical ways to improve how the Finance Team works.
You’ll ideally have
- ACA, ACCA or CIMA qualification, be newly qualified, or be a finalist close to completing
- Experience of month-end close and balance sheet reconciliations within a multi-entity business
- Working knowledge of UK GAAP and FRS 102, or the willingness to develop your knowledge
- Experience working with fixed assets and leases
- Experience using an ERP or finance system
- The ability to work reliably to month-end and reporting deadlines
- Confidence supporting and constructively challenging non-finance colleagues
- A positive attitude and genuine drive to learn and develop
Experience within a multi-site hospitality or retail business would be beneficial, as would experience using systems such as Sage, JDE or Net Suite.
