Job description

Pensions Accountant

Derbyshire £45,000 - £50,000 Full-Time Hybrid

I'm recruiting for a leading manufacturing business in Derbyshire — a well-established and growing company that plays a major role in the region's economy.

They're now looking for a Pensions Accountant to join the company to help support the finance function. This is a key, specialist role where you'll be responsible for the full accounting process relating to the company's pension schemes, working closely with both the HR and wider finance teams.

This is a fantastic opportunity to take full ownership of the pensions accounting for the organisation — offering autonomy, responsibility, and a supportive environment as part of a high-performing team.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Preparing statutory accounts for the pension scheme and company disclosures
• Managing audit processes for both scheme and company pension reporting
• Posting and managing all accounting entries related to pensions, including payments and cashbooks
• Forecasting and supporting actuaries and finance with up-to-date reporting
• Liaising closely with third-party administrators, payroll, and internal finance teams
• Helping maintain and improve controls, reconciliations and monthly reporting

About You:

• ACCA / ACA / CIMA qualified
• Strong technical accounting and statutory reporting background
• Comfortable working across functions and taking full ownership
• Prior audit experience and ability to liaise confidently with auditors
• Pensions experience is ideal but not essential — training can be given
• Experience working in industry is essential (not open to straight-from-practice candidates)

If you're looking for a role with stability, purpose and challenge in a large, fast-moving business, this could be an excellent move for you.
