Are you a dynamic, forward-thinking and switched-on part-qualified Management Accountant ready to take the next step in your career?

We're working with an exciting and well-established business that is looking for an ambitious Management Accountant to join its growing finance team.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone with a professional services background who is looking to develop their technical and commercial skills further, whilst becoming part of a larger, collaborative finance function where there is genuine scope to learn, progress and build a long-term career.

The Opportunity

We're looking for someone who is already operating with a high level of ownership and autonomy and has a proven track record of managing the full management accounting process from start to finish.

You’ll be responsible for producing accurate and insightful management information, supporting month-end and year-end processes, and working closely with stakeholders across the wider business.

More importantly, this role offers the opportunity to broaden your experience within a larger and more structured finance environment, working alongside experienced finance professionals who will support your continued development.

What We’re Looking For

We’re keen to speak with part-qualified accountants who are ambitious, commercially minded and genuinely want to progress their careers.

You’ll ideally have:

• Experience working within a professional services environment
• Experience owning the end-to-end management accounting process
• Strong month-end and management accounts experience
• Experience with balance sheet reconciliations, accruals, prepayments and journals
• Budgeting, forecasting and variance analysis experience
• Strong Excel and financial systems skills
• The ability to analyse financial information and translate it into meaningful insight
• Excellent attention to detail and a naturally analytical approach
• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills
• A proactive, forward-thinking mindset and the confidence to challenge and improve existing processes
• Part-qualified status or active study towards ACCA, CIMA or equivalent

The Person

We’re looking for someone who is switched on, ambitious and hungry to progress.

You’ll be someone who naturally takes ownership, enjoys understanding the detail behind the numbers and isn’t afraid to ask questions or challenge the status quo. You’ll also thrive in a collaborative environment and enjoy working as part of a wider finance team.

This isn’t simply a role for someone looking for their next job - it’s an opportunity for an ambitious Management Accountant to develop their skill set, gain broader commercial exposure and take the next step towards qualification and progression.

Why This Role?

• Join a larger, collaborative finance function
• Excellent opportunity for professional and technical development
• Broaden your commercial and stakeholder exposure
• Work alongside experienced finance professionals
• Opportunity to take on increased responsibility and progress your career
• A business that genuinely values its people and invests in development

If you’re a part-qualified Management Accountant with a professional services background, already owning the full management accounting cycle and now looking for an environment where you can really develop and progress, we’d love to hear from you.
