Management Accountant

Your new company
I am working exclusively with a well-established Burnley-based company, who have been established for over 50 years. They have seen significant growth, particularly post-COVID-19, with a notable increase in revenue and profits. Due to maternity leave, they are seeking a Management Accountant to cover this role for a minimum of 12 months.

Your new role
In your new role of Management Accountant, you will be responsible for P&L and Balance Sheet management, including analysis, journals, and reconciliations. You'll draft and compile the monthly management accounts, forecast and report on bespoke reports, and support year-end reporting and audit schedules. Additionally, you'll analyse and reconcile store tender and sales receipts, handle cashbook postings, and assist with year-end audit deliverables. You'll identify and resolve process issues with relevant stakeholders, assist with certain overhead lines in the annual P&L forecast, and handle other ad hoc finance department requests as needed. This is a full time role, working 37.5 hours Monday to Friday, with a minimum requirement of 2 days in the office.

What you'll need to succeed
To be successful in this role, you need strong core accounting skills and desirable proficiency in Excel. Experience with the Sage 200 Accounting package is useful but not essential. Being well-organised and able to handle multiple issues simultaneously is crucial, along with having good attention to detail and the ability to work to tight deadlines.

What you'll get in return
In return for this, you will be offered a salary up to £40,000. This role also offers a comprehensive benefits package, including 25 days of holiday plus Bank Holidays, hybrid working arrangements, and a day off on your birthday. You'll receive discounts from your first day, a contributory pension scheme, and access to an Employee Assistance Programme.
