Imagine joining a high-performing manufacturing environment where your ideas drive real change, and your career growth is taken seriously. If you're ready to put your skills to work in a dynamic and hands-on role, this could be the opportunity you've been waiting for.

This global leader in manufacturing, renowned for its innovation and proud heritage, is looking for a Management Accountant to join its high performing finance team. Working within one of the most critical arms of the business-you'll be stepping into a team that thrives on precision, collaboration, and continuous improvement.

What you'll be doing:

• Support the Assistant Financial Controller with month-end activities, budgeting, and forecasting.
• Take ownership of key balance sheet reconciliations-particularly inventory management (£60m+).
• Monitor overheads against budget and forecast, providing clear, insightful reporting to stakeholders.
• Deliver monthly cashflow reporting to keep the business on a steady financial footing.
• Act as a true business partner, working with operational teams to streamline processes and control costs.
• Lead the management and forecasting of capital expenditure projects.
• Drive the development and automation of financial reporting to improve efficiency and transparency.

What we're looking for:

• Part-qualified or finalist (CIMA/ACCA/ACA) - newly qualified candidates with strong potential are also encouraged.
• Previous experience in a management accounting role; manufacturing sector exposure would be a bonus but not essential.
• Excellent Excel skills and a mindset geared towards challenging the status quo and driving process improvements.
• A hands-on attitude, with an eye for detail and the ability to thrive under pressure and tight deadlines.

What's in it for you:

• Competitive salary of £40,000 - £45,000.
• Fully-funded study support to help you reach qualification.
• 33 days annual leave (including bank holidays)
• Company pension scheme, private medical insurance, dental care scheme, and access to an on-site health and wellbeing centre.
• A real pathway for career progression within a major international business.
