Join the Gymbox Finance team as our Management Accountant, taking ownership of the monthly P&L and balance sheet and turning them into accurate, timely management accounts. You will provide the numbers and insight that feed our budgeting process, keep day-to-day finance operations running smoothly, and act as the go-to finance contact for our club managers.
This is a hands-on role in a multi-site business, ideal for a part-qualified accountant who wants broad exposure and a real impact on how our clubs perform.
Key Responsibilities
- Take ownership of the P&L and balance sheet, producing accurate and timely monthly management accounts and explaining key movements to the Head of Finance.
- Prepare and post period-end journals, including accruals and prepayments, and play an active part in the month-end close and day-to-day finance operations.
- Complete balance sheet reconciliations each month and ensure reconciling items are investigated and corrected promptly.
- Provide financial inputs to the annual budget and ongoing forecasts, including actuals, trends and variance analysis, working with the Finance Manager and club operations.
- Act as the first point of contact for club managers, answering their financial queries clearly and promptly and helping them understand their club’s financial performance.
- Support the year-end audit, liaising directly with auditors and providing schedules and explanations as required.
- Contribute to ad hoc financial projects and continuous improvement initiatives across the finance function.
Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
- Management accounts (P&L and balance sheet) delivered accurately and to the agreed month-end timetable.
- Balance sheet reconciliations completed monthly, with reconciling items cleared promptly.
- Club manager queries responded to promptly and to a high standard.

Desirable
- Experience using NetSuite.
- A keen interest in the health & fitness, leisure or hospitality industry.
We Offer
