Descripción del empleo

SF Partners are looking for an experienced, hands-on Management Accountant to join the Group Finance function of a successful c.£300m turnover group. The role sits within the parent company and reports to the Group Financial Controller.

This is initially an interim opportunity with the potential to become permanent, so we are looking for someone who can hit the ground running, quickly take ownership of their responsibilities and work confidently with minimal supervision.

This is a hands‑on accounting role with no team management responsibilities.

The role

You will play an important part in delivering accurate and timely financial information, supporting the month-end process and maintaining strong financial controls across the parent company.

• Preparing monthly management accounts and supporting delivery to Group deadlines
• Managing key month-end processes, including accruals and prepayments
• Taking responsibility for stock accounting, including stock counts, stock adjustments and reconciliations
• Managing and reconciling GRNI
• Maintaining the fixed asset register and associated accounting
• Preparing balance sheet reconciliations and investigating discrepancies
• Supporting forecasts, budgets and other Group reporting requirements
• Providing clear commentary and analysis on financial performance where required
• Working closely with operational and finance colleagues to resolve accounting and transactional issues
• Supporting the year-end process and working directly with external auditors
• Maintaining accurate records and ensuring appropriate financial controls are followed

About you

We are looking for an experienced Management Accountant who is comfortable operating in a busy, commercially focused environment. You will need to be confident getting into the detail as well as understanding how your work contributes to the wider Group.

You will ideally have

• Strong practical experience of management accounting and month-end
• Hands‑on experience of accruals, prepayments, stock, GRNI and fixed assets
• Experience of stock counts and stock adjustments
• Previous experience of working with external auditors, or experience gained working within audit
• Strong Excel skills
• The ability to work independently, prioritise effectively and meet reporting deadlines
• A recognised accounting qualification (ACA, ACCA or CIMA) or strong relevant experience/QBE
• Experience of Dynamics 365 would be highly advantageous; previous Access Dimensions experience would also be useful

Previous manufacturing experience is not required. Experience gained within a wholesale or distribution business would, however, be an advantage.

This role would particularly suit someone who enjoys being close to the numbers, is comfortable taking ownership and can quickly become an effective member of an established Group Finance function.
