Job description

Are you a commercially minded Management Accountant who enjoys looking beyond the numbers?

We're looking for a talented Management Accountant with strong analytical skills to join an established North Bristol business based in the Lyde Green area and play a key role in helping the business understand its financial performance, plan for the future and make better-informed decisions. You'll be nearly or newly qualified and be someone who doesn't just want to report what happened - you'll help to understand why it happened, what's likely to happen next, and what can be done about it. You'll have a varied role spanning financial reporting, planning and analysis, including:

• Preparing accurate and insightful management accounts and financial reports
• Leading the budgeting and forecasting process, challenging assumptions and highlighting key trends
• Performing detailed financial analysis to identify opportunities, risks, variances and areas for improvement
• Investigating performance against budget and forecast, turning variances into meaningful business insight
• Supporting the year-end financial reporting process and ensuring financial information is complete, accurate and delivered on time
• Developing financial models and analysis to support business planning and decision-making
• Working with budget holders and stakeholders across the business to improve financial understanding and accountability
• Presenting financial information clearly to both finance and non-finance colleagues
• Continuously looking for ways to improve reporting, processes and the quality of financial information available to the business

You'll be someone who has a proactive approach and the ability to work independently while collaborating effectively with others along with having strong excel and ideally Power BI experience. Your analysis will help shape budgets, improve performance, identify opportunities and support important business decisions so if you're an analytical thinker, a natural problem-solver and someone who gets excited by what story the numbers can give, we'd love to hear from you.
