Management Accountant

Are you currently in public practice, looking for more client variety and long-term progression?
Perhaps you're in industry, missing the pace, challenge, and broader exposure that comes with working across multiple businesses?

This role brings the best of both worlds.

You'll be joining a modern, commercially focused accountancy practice experiencing strategic growth. This is a newly created role designed to support that momentum. Your role won't be limited to routine reporting. Instead, you'll work closely with SME clients, helping them understand and improve their financial position, while still building the core technical experience needed for qualification, including involvement in statutory accounts preparation.

This is not your typical practice-based finance role.

As part of a small but growing team, you'll be based in the office where collaboration, development and shared problem-solving are part of everyday life. You'll be hands-on with management accounts, year-end accounts, and a wide range of commercial reporting, making this a genuinely varied role with exposure you won't get in many in-house positions.

Why this role stands out

• 35-hour working week
• Early finish every Friday
• No culture of excessive overtime
• Office-based environment with team collaboration
• Involvement in both management and year-end accounts
• Genuine progression opportunities post-qualification
• Diverse and commercially focused client portfolio

You'll be supported to develop technically and commercially, with clear opportunities to grow into a more senior, client-facing role.

Key responsibilities

• Prepare monthly and quarterly management accounts for a portfolio of SME clients
• Assist with budgeting, forecasting, and performance analysis
• Build trusted relationships and offer practical commercial insight
• Support the preparation of year-end accounts, working alongside qualified colleagues
• Deliver accurate, timely reporting and develop tailored management information
• Help improve systems and streamline financial processes

If you're at the upper end of the salary range, you'll already be confidently producing management accounts and contributing to year-end work. If you're earlier in your career, you'll have the support and mentoring to build your capability.

Candidate profile

• Part-qualified (CIMA / ACCA / ACA), from either practice or industry
• Technically sound, with a good foundation in management accounts
• Experience of (or exposure to) year-end accounts preparation is advantageous
• Excellent interpersonal skills and a commercially aware mindset
• Comfortable working in an office-based team environment
• Motivated by variety, ownership, and the opportunity to progress

What's in it for you

• 35-hour working week, with a structured and sustainable workload
• Early finish every Friday
• Competitive salary based on experience
• Full study support package (time off + funding)
• Long-term opportunity to grow into a senior client-facing position
• A modern, ambitious firm with a supportive and forward-thinking culture
• Be part of a business growing through strategic investment, and play a role in shaping its future

If you're ready to develop your career in a role that offers both technical growth and client impact, without compromising your work-life balance, this could be the right move.
