Job Description:

MANAGEMENT ACCOUNTANT | QUALIFIED / NEARLY QUALIFIED | EXCITING BUSINESS PARTNERING OPPORTUNITY

Are you a qualified or nearly qualified ACCA/CIMA Management Accountant looking for a role where you can do more than just produce the numbers?

I’m working with a growing organisation that is looking for a commercially minded Management Accountant who wants to get closer to the business, understand what is really driving performance and have a genuine influence on decision-making.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who enjoys the accounting AND the story behind the numbers.

What will you be doing?

  • Payroll analysis – reviewing and analysing monthly payroll information, comparing it against budgets and highlighting variances to budget holders. This will require a high level of confidentiality and discretion.
  • Reconciliations – taking ownership, getting stuck in and ensuring the numbers are accurate.
  • Budget vs actual analysis – understanding the numbers, investigating variances and working closely with the Head of FP&A to explain what is happening and why.
  • Business partnering – developing strong relationships with HR and wider operational teams and becoming a trusted finance partner.
  • Commercial business partnering – supporting the private side of the organisation as it continues to diversify beyond its established customer base.
  • Stakeholder engagement – attending meetings, understanding what is happening operationally and translating those conversations into meaningful financial insight.
  • Adding value – reporting back on your findings, identifying what is working, what isn’t and where improvements can be made.

What are they looking for?

We’re looking for someone who is:

  • ACCA or CIMA qualified / nearly qualified
  • Strong technically across management accounting
  • Confident with reconciliations, analysis and month-end
  • Commercially minded and interested in the bigger picture
  • Comfortable challenging and discussing variances
  • A confident communicator with strong stakeholder management skills
  • Proactive, inquisitive and willing to take ownership
  • Someone who can tell the story behind the numbers, rather than simply report them

This is a great opportunity for a Management Accountant who wants to develop their business partnering and commercial finance experience while remaining hands‑on with the accounting.
