Job description

Artis Accountancy and Finance is delighted to be partnering with a well-established and growing food manufacturing business to recruit a Management Accountant. This is a fantastic opportunity for a hands-on, commercially minded finance professional to take ownership of day-to-day financial reporting and analysis at site, working with a small but capable team. The ideal candidate will bring strong manufacturing or FMCG experience, along with a proactive approach to supporting operational and commercial performance.

In this varied and rewarding role, you will be responsible for the preparation of timely and accurate management accounts, weekly and monthly reporting on costs, margins and KPIs, and managing budgeting and cash flow forecasting. You will work closely with stakeholders across operations and commercial teams to provide meaningful financial insight to support decision-making. The role will also involve leading the year-end process and driving improvements to systems and internal controls. As part of a small finance team, you'll also be mentoring 2-3 direct reports across transactional and reporting activities.

We are seeking a qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, or CIMA), or a QBE with relevant experience in a manufacturing setting-ideally within the food sector. You should be confident managing people and financial processes, with strong Excel skills and familiarity with ERP systems. A commercially focused mindset, excellent organisational skills, and a collaborative working style are all key to success in this role.

This is a highly visible opportunity in a business that values finance as a key driver of performance. If you're looking for your next step in a fast-paced and rewarding environment, we'd love to hear from you.
