Are you a commercially minded finance professional with a strong analytical approach and a knack for turning numbers into insight? Do you thrive in a fast-paced environment where collaboration and clarity are key to driving business performance?

As a Management Accountant, you’ll support financial planning, reporting, and decision-making across a growing business with major capital projects underway.

• Early finish on Fridays and time and a half overtime
• 25 days holiday plus bank holidays, with a Christmas shutdown
• Critical illness and life cover
• Company sick pay scheme
• Free on-site parking
• A collaborative, performance-focused culture with clear accountability and support

As a Management Accountant, your responsibilities will include:

• Preparing monthly P&L, balance sheet and cash flow reports
• Assisting with annual budgets, forecasts and variance analysis
• Providing clear commentary on key financial performance indicators
• Tracking costs and progress on major capital projects
• Supporting internal and external financial reporting and audit requirements
• Assisting with cash flow forecasting and working capital management
• Driving the continuous improvement of financial systems and processes

As a Management Accountant, your skills and experience will include:

• CCAB-qualified or finalist status (ACCA, CIMA, or equivalent)
• At least 2 years’ experience in a management accounting role
• Strong Excel skills and a data-driven approach to analysis
• Experience in a manufacturing or product-led environment (preferred)
