Job description

Assistant Management Accountant | Blackburn | £30,000 - £35,000 | Study Support

Your new company

I am working with a leading manufacturing company, headquartered in Blackburn, Lancashire. After 10 successful years, they are now operating with a financial turnover of almost £200million, from a state-of-the-art facility based in Blackburn. Due to continued success, they are now expanding their finance team and have created an Assistant Management Accountant role, working closely with the FD and Management Accountant.

Your new role

In your new role as Assistant Management Accountant, you will be assisting in the preparation of financial statements and reports, processing and recording financial transactions, and ensuring timely invoice processing and vendor payments. Responsibilities include preparing tax returns, performing bank reconciliations, and verifying inventory and work-in-progress valuations. The role also requires stock reconciliation, landed cost checks, and bill of materials (BOM) verification. Additionally, the position involves creating reports to verify costing and assumptions, reviewing and developing production and inventory processes, and managing slow-moving and obsolete stock. The candidate will review daily stock takes, ensure accurate stock records, and maintain financial transaction records for audits. Supporting month-end and year-end closing processes is also part of the job. This is a full time role, working Monday to Friday based from the office.

What you'll need to succeed

To be successful, you will be AAT qualified (or equivalent) with experience as an assistant accountant in the manufacturing or FMCG industries. You should have a strong working knowledge of ERP systems and be proficient in major IT applications, including Microsoft Office, with advanced skills in Excel. You should be adept at analysing complex data, solving problems with a positive attitude, and working both independently and as part of a team. The role requires the ability to implement and maintain rigorous controls and processes, document and analyse financial performance, and possess excellent communication and time management skills.

What you'll get in return

In return for this, you will be offered a salary between £30,000 - £35,000. Your benefits package will also include enhanced holidays increasing with years of service, flexible working hours, onsite parking, pension contribution, employee assistance programme and on-site, free gym.
