Contract: 8-month FTC (until June / July 2026)

We’re looking for an experienced Inhouse Management Accountant to join our Fire Safety division on an 8-month fixed-term contract, providing cover while one of our team takes a well-earned sabbatical to go travelling.

Working as part of a small, close-knit finance team (with support from a wider centralised group at Head Office), you’ll play a key role in supporting the Business Finance Manager to deliver accurate, timely and meaningful financial reporting.

What you’ll be doing:

• Supporting with month-end reporting, including preparation and review of journals, accruals and prepayments.
• Partnering with operational stakeholders to help them understand financial performance.
• Reviewing margins, costs and variances to ensure accuracy and control.
• Assisting with forecasting and budgeting activities.
• Helping to drive process improvements and ensure data integrity.

What we’re looking for:

• Previous experience in inhouse management accounting (or an experienced Assistant Accountant ready to step up).
• Strong Excel skills and attention to detail – accuracy is key.
• A positive, proactive attitude and the ability to quickly pick up new systems and processes.
• Someone comfortable working in a fast-paced, growing business.

Who we are:

We’re part of PTSG, an award-winning safety specialist group made up of 30 businesses and over 3,300 employees across the UK. Our divisions cover Fire Safety, Electrical Safety, Access & Safety, Water Hygiene, and Building Access & Specialist Services – all focused on keeping people and buildings safe.

What’s on offer:

• Salary: up to £42,000 (depending on experience)
• Hybrid working: 3 days in the office (Exeter or Abingdon)
• 23 days holiday + bank holidays
• Vivup benefits platform – access to 1000s of discounts on everything from groceries and gym memberships to meals out and holidays

This is a great opportunity to join a supportive, professional team and gain valuable experience within a large, successful group.
