Looking for more than just month-end? Step into a career where your numbers help shape a greener, smarter energy future.

If you're a qualified Management Accountant craving more than routine reporting — this is the opportunity to put your analysis skills, strategic insight, and technical knowledge to work in a business that’s making real impact.

About the Company

This is not your average finance team. Joining this company means being part of a bold mission to transform how the UK uses energy. Working at the forefront of smart energy solutions, this business partners with both public and private sectors to enable a sustainable, affordable, low-carbon future.

With over 1,200 employees, cutting-edge projects across energy metering, infrastructure and data analytics — this is a place where finance is pivotal, not peripheral. And now they’re looking for a talented Management Accountant to help support their journey and add real value across the business.

About the Management Accountant Role

As a Management Accountant, you'll own the financials for key entities within the business. This isn't just about spreadsheets and journals — it's about being a trusted financial voice, delivering meaningful insight, forecasting with confidence, and ensuring integrity across the balance sheet.

From monthly reporting and variance analysis to cash forecasting and audit support, you’ll play a central role in ensuring robust financial control — all while helping the company scale sustainably and strategically.

This hybrid role is typically 2 days in the Glasgow office and 3 days remote, with hours of 8:30am–5pm, Monday to Friday.

Key Responsibilities of the Management Accountant

• Deliver accurate, timely month-end accounts for assigned entities
• Prepare and present management reports with variance analysis vs budget/forecast
• Post accruals, prepayments and complex journal entries
• Maintain balance sheet reconciliations and resolve reconciling items
• Forecast short-term and long-term cash flow
• Support internal and external audit processes
• Collaborate across departments to explain financial results and influence decisions
• Identify and drive improvements in reporting and accounting processes

What We’re Looking For in a Management Accountant

• Fully qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent)
• Strong grounding in management accounting, month-end, and budgeting principles
• Excellent Excel skills and confidence with accounting systems (D365 preferred)
• Proven ability to analyse and communicate complex financial data
• Highly organised, self-motivated and able to manage deadlines
• Collaborative team player with strong interpersonal skills
• Background in energy, utilities, or infrastructure sectors
• Track record of improving processes or building new reporting tools
• Experience of working with cross-functional teams and influencing at senior level

Why Apply for the Management Accountant Role?

Because this is more than a numbers job — it’s a seat at the table in a growing, future-focused organisation that values finance as a strategic driver. The Management Accountant will work alongside leadership, shape reporting frameworks, and support investment in smarter energy systems that truly matter.

What’s in It for You?

• Hybrid working model – 2 days in the Glasgow office, 3 days remote
• 25 days holiday + 8 public holidays (rising with service, with buy/sell options)
• Enhanced Maternity, Paternity and Adoption leave
• Employee Ownership Scheme
• 24/7 Employee Assistance Programme
• Medicash Health Plan (dental, optical, physio, gym discounts & more)
• Life Insurance (4x salary)
• Pension matched up to 5%
