Job description

Razorblue role

We’re on the lookout for a Management Accountant who’s not just good with numbers, but brilliant with them. Our dream candidate is part-qualified or fully qualified (ACA, ACCA, CIMA), has a sixth sense for balance sheet reconciliations, and can spot a misposted accrual from a mile away. You’ll be the kind of person who thrives on month-end madness, loves a tidy ledger, and isn’t afraid to challenge the status quo (or a dodgy prepayment). If you’re commercially curious, systems-savvy, and ready to roll up your sleeves in a fast-paced finance team - we’d love to meet you!

Should you choose to accept, your responsibilities will encompass:

Management Accounts (50%)

• Prepare and deliver accurate and timely monthly management accounts, including profit and loss (P&L), balance sheet, and variance analysis.
• Provide insightful financial analysis to explain variances, identify trends, and support continuous business performance improvement.
• Perform and review monthly balance sheet reconciliations to ensure the accuracy and integrity of financial data.
• Support the Finance Director with high-quality management information to aid strategic decision-making.
• Creating and updating schedules for prepayments and accruals on a period basis.

Budgeting & Cost Control (20%)

• Collaborate with teams across the business to ensure costs are accurately captured within the correct accounting period.
• Monitor departmental spend against budget, identifying risks and opportunities.
• Challenge assumptions and highlight material variances to the Finance Director.
• Assist in the preparation of annual budgets and periodic forecasts.

Audit & Compliance (20%)

• Ensure adherence to internal controls, accounting standards (e.g. IFRS), and regulatory requirements.
• Prepare audit schedules and support external auditors during year-end audits.
• Maintain accurate documentation and audit trails for all financial processes.
• Identify and mitigate financial risks through robust control frameworks and proactive issue resolution.

Reporting & Systems (10%)

• Maintain and enhance financial reporting tools and dashboards to improve visibility of key performance indicators.
• Ensure financial systems are updated accurately and efficiently, supporting automation and process optimisation.
• Contribute to the development and implementation of process improvements to increase reporting accuracy and reduce month-end close timelines.

Razorblue requirements:

We know its unrealistic to find someone who ticks all of these boxes (extra points if you do), which is why we seek those eager to develop over time through our development resources and peer learning. If this aligns with your own personal growth mindset, we would love you to apply.

• Qualified or part-qualified accountant (e.g. ACA, ACCA, CIMA).
• Proven experience in a management accounting or financial analysis role.
• Experience with financial reporting.
• Proficient in Excel and financial software (e.g. Business Central, Sage, SAP etc).
• Ability to work independently and meet tight deadlines.
• Strong communication, and relationship-building skills.

Continuous learning and development are central to our culture, and we heavily invest in elevating our people, not just hiring those already at an expert level.

Razorblue gives:

Working for an IT partner isn’t for the faint hearted, it requires drive, passion for technology, collaboration, and a drive to innovate.

If you want to learn more about the IT domain as a whole or specialise in one particular area, you can do that here. We are not looking for the most qualified people, but people who have a true drive to learn and a passion for the technology sector. Our learning and development opportunities, combined with our team's drive for growth, result in a high volume of promotions granted year after year.

We operate a hybrid working policy across most roles and often get asked why we haven’t made the decision to go fully remote… For us, natural learning opportunities are invaluable and office working enables this and has also inspired our collective culture of teamwork.

Our other benefits include:

• Base salary of £40,000 to £45,0000 per annum depending on skills and knowledge
• Hybrid working
• Flexible working to suit your work life fit
• 25 days holidays per annum + public holidays + the ability to purchase 10 more
• Your birthday off (Obviously!)
• £2000 Referral Scheme Bonus – if you know any other techies that want to join us
• Enhanced maternity, paternity, adoption + Baby bonus (Family is important to us)
• Fully funded training and accreditations to expand your skillset
• Two paid charity volunteering days per year
• Discounted Broadband (Necessity)
• Life insurance
• Private Health Insurance with Vitality Health
• Quarterly team social fund
• Cycle to Work scheme
• Gear up with the latest tech toys through our partnership with Currys
• Cruise around in an eco-friendly electric car with our EV Scheme
