SF Partners is recruiting for an experienced Management Accountant to join an established business on an interim basis. This is an excellent opportunity for a hands‑on finance professional who can take ownership of core management accounting duties and provide reliable support through month‑end.

The role would suit a part‑qualified accountant or someone qualified by experience (QBE) who is confident working independently, has strong Excel skills and can hit the ground running in a busy finance team.

The role will include

• Preparing monthly management accounts, including profit and loss and balance sheet reporting.


• Posting journals, accruals and prepayments, alongside completing control account reconciliations.


• Maintaining fixed asset and tool hire schedules.


• Investigating and explaining variances across margins, overheads, budgets and forecasts.


• Preparing supplier BACS payments and submitting quarterly VAT returns.


• Providing financial analysis to support pricing, cost control and profitability.


• Supporting month-end and year-end processes, audit requirements and ongoing improvements to financial systems and reporting.

About you

• Previous experience in a hands‑on management accounting role, including preparing management accounts.


• Part‑qualified (CIMA, ACCA or ACA) or qualified by experience.


• Strong Excel skills, including pivot tables and VLOOKUP or similar lookup formulas.


• Confident using finance systems, with Sage 200 experience particularly desirable.


• Analytical, organised and comfortable working to deadlines with minimal supervision.


• Able to communicate financial information clearly and work effectively with colleagues across the business.

This is an opportunity to join a supportive finance function in a role offering flexibility around working hours, while retaining a consistent presence across the working week to support month‑end activities.

If you're available at short notice and looking for a part‑time interim opportunity where you can make an immediate impact, we'd love to hear from you.
