Management Accountant – £50,000 DOE + Industry-Leading Benefits | Glasgow | Permanent | Hybrid Working

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 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

• 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

• 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

Desirable Experience:

• 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?

• Salary: £50,000 (DOE)

• 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)
