Accountable Recruitment are delighted to be exclusively partnering with a successful and growing business to recruit an experienced Management Accountant.

This is an excellent opportunity for a qualified Management Accountant who is interested in joining a large company who is evolving and creating genuine opportunities for the successful candidate to broaden their responsibilities and develop their career over time.

Initially, the role will focus on delivering accurate management information, financial analysis and business support across a number of key areas. As the business continues to grow, the successful individual will have the opportunity to become involved in projects, process improvements, commercial analysis and wider strategic initiatives.

This position would suit an ACCA or CIMA qualified accountant with strong management accounting experience who enjoys working closely with stakeholders and wants a role offering both challenge and progression.

The Role

Reporting into senior leadership, key responsibilities will include:

• Production of monthly management accounts, including detailed variance analysis against budget, forecast and prior year.
• Preparation of annual budgets, quarterly forecasts and cash flow projections.
• Analysis of financial performance and key business drivers, providing insight and recommendations to support decision-making.
• Ownership of balance sheet reconciliations and month-end reporting processes.
• Analysis of product, customer and departmental profitability.
• Monitoring manufacturing, operational and overhead costs, identifying opportunities for improved efficiencies and cost control.
• Review and analysis of gross margin performance and key operational KPIs.
• Cash flow forecasting
• Development and enhancement of management information, reporting packs and financial controls.

The Person

We are looking for someone who can demonstrate:

• ACCA or CIMA qualification.
• Strong management accounting experience gained within industry.
• Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Strong communication skills with the ability to engage with both finance and non-finance stakeholders.
• Experience producing budgets, forecasts and management accounts.
• Commercial awareness and the ability to translate financial data into meaningful business insight.
• Advanced Excel skills and strong systems capability.

The Opportunity

• This role offers significantly more than traditional management accounting responsibilities. The successful candidate will join a business with ambitious growth plans and a collaborative culture, where finance plays a key role in driving commercial performance.
• For an individual looking to broaden their experience beyond month-end reporting and become increasingly involved in projects, business improvement and strategic decision-making, this represents an outstanding career opportunity.
