The company seeks to recruit an interim Management Accountant to join their friendly and experienced finance team. This is a full time, contract position with an initial anticipated duration of 3 months and the company promtes a hybrid working pattern - 2/3 days per week at the company headquarters in Truro. ***Please note that there is potential for this role to convert to a permanent contract***

Reporting to and working closely with the company’s Financial Controller, the successful candidate will enjoy a varied role whilst also supervising a small team of transactional focussed finance.

- Nominal ledger review

- Accrual and prepayments

- Financial data analysis

- Cost control

- Month end journal entries and reconciliations

- Preparation cash flow forecasts

- Assist in year end and audit processes

For this role we seek an experienced candidate, either part/fully professionally qualified (ACA/ACCA/CIMA), or qualified through vocational experience. Previous experience gained within a manufacturing and/or stock holding business, or with exposure to physical inventory’s would be advantageous though not essential. The company is highly technology focussed so a sound understanding of digital accounting platforms and strong MS Excel skills will be essential. This is a visible role within the business, working as part of a small team and regularly liaising with colleagues outside of finance so excellent leadership and relationship building skills will be essential.

This employer has an exceptional reputation for staff retention and general development and this marks a rare opportunity to join a successful, caring and energetic business. For further details and to apply in confidence, please contact Elle Benjamin quoting reference EB10590 ASAP.
