There's plenty here to make this temporary to permanent Senior Management Accountant opportunity more than a month-end reporting job. You'll have access to senior decision-makers, visibility across several parts of a growing building services organisation and the chance to turn financial information into decisions that improve performance. There's also the opportunity to turn the initial temporary assignment into a permanent position, alongside flexible start and finish times and a strong benefits package once permanent.
You'll combine hands-on management accounting with genuine business partnering, working directly with senior leadership and departmental heads. Rather than simply producing the numbers, you'll explain what they mean, challenge where appropriate and help people make better commercial decisions. It's an opportunity to get under the skin of the business and have your analysis listened to.

- Producing monthly management accounts, including P&L, balance sheets, variance commentary and profitability reporting
- Consolidating financial information across five entities
- Managing budgeting, three-month forecasting and weekly cash flow forecasting
- Owning the month-end process, working towards final management accounts by working day 10
