We’re recruiting a Management Accountant for an established business in Bury St Edmunds, joining them on a 12-month fixed-term contract.
This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys being close to the operational side of a business. Rather than simply producing the numbers, you’ll work alongside key stakeholders to understand what’s driving performance, provide meaningful commercial insight and help teams make better informed decisions.
The Role
- Preparing and reviewing regular management reporting for the site
- Working closely with operational managers to help them understand financial performance and key cost drivers
- Investigating variances and turning financial data into clear, useful insight
- Playing an active role in budgeting, forecasting and financial planning
- Identifying areas where costs, processes and overall performance could be improved
- Supporting business improvement projects and assessing their financial impact
- Providing finance input into operational meetings and decision-making
- Assisting the wider finance function with additional analysis and project work when required
About You
We’re looking for someone who can combine strong management accounting skills with a genuinely commercial approach.
You’ll ideally be ACA, ACCA or CIMA qualified, part-qualified or currently studying, although your ability to engage with the wider business will be just as important as your technical accounting knowledge.
You should be:
- Confident working with and interpreting financial data
- Comfortable communicating with stakeholders outside of finance
- Able to challenge and influence in a positive, constructive way
- Highly organised and comfortable working to deadlines
- A strong Excel user with the ability to work effectively with large data sets
This role would particularly suit someone who likes to understand the story behind the numbers and wants a position where they can have regular interaction with the operational side of a business.
What’s on Offer?
A 12-month fixed-term opportunity within an established organisation, offering a broad mix of management accounting, commercial analysis and business partnering exposure.
