Job description

Are you a commercially-minded finance professional looking to work closely with senior stakeholders and make a visible impact? Want the opportunity to grow your career at a FTSE 100 business — without the London commute?

We’re looking for an Assistant Management Accountant to support our Group HR Leadership Team with high-quality financial insight, reporting and analysis.

This is a high-exposure role, perfect for someone who thrives in a collaborative, people-focused environment and enjoys driving better business decisions through finance.

What you’ll be doing

• Acting as a trusted partner to the Group HR Director and leadership team
• Leading the monthly forecasting and annual budget processes for the HR function
• Preparing monthly management accounts: P&L, balance sheet, variance analysis and insightful commentary
• Producing monthly reporting packs for cost centre managers, and contributing to quarterly business reviews
• Ensuring compliance with SOX requirements and internal controls
• Running monthly budget reviews with HR to assess risks, opportunities, and forecast accuracy

Why join us?

• FTSE 100 stability with the feel of a close-knit team
• Hybrid working (2–3 days in our Crawley office), with excellent transport links and on-site parking
• Be part of a business that genuinely values its people — and backs it up with investment in career development and wellbeing
• Enjoy the best of both worlds: high-impact work, without the London grind

Interested?

If you're looking for a role where your analysis and insight will shape real decisions — and you want to do it closer to home — we’d love to hear from you.

What we’re looking for

• Strong finance background – qualified or finalist (ACA / ACCA / CIMA)
• Experience in management accounting, business partnering or FP&A
• Able to explain financials to non-finance stakeholders clearly and confidently
• Highly organised, detail-focused, and comfortable working to tight deadlines
• Previous experience supporting HR or central functions is a plus, but not essential

• Competitive salary
• Hybrid working
• Rentokil Initial Reward Scheme
• 23 days holiday, plus 8 bank holidays
• Employee Assistance Programme
• Death in service benefit
• Healthcare
• Free parking
