Robertson Bell are delighted to be partnering with a small and highly regarded independent school in their search for an Assistant Management Accountant on a 6-month temporary contract, based fully on site (5 days a week) in Central London.

This is a varied role that will suit someone who is confident working independently, has strong attention to detail, and is happy being the first point of contact for parents and suppliers on finance matters. Working closely with the Finance Director, you will play a key part in keeping the school’s finance function running smoothly. This role has high potential to go permanent.

Key responsibilities will include:

• Assisting with management accounting tasks, including inputting data, reconciliations, and supporting budget processes.

• Supporting procurement and ordering across the school, ensuring best value for money.

The successful candidate will:

• Ideally be part-qualified or a strong background in supporting the management accounting process.

• Be comfortable working independently and taking initiative.
• Bring strong interpersonal skills, with the ability to build good relationships with staff, parents, and suppliers.

This is an urgent opportunity so do not hesitate in making an application!
