Overview

We're looking for a Senior Management Accountant to lead and develop our talented Management Accounting team. Reporting to the Financial Controller (Accounting), this role manages a team of 6-7 (qualified, part-qualified and non-qualified) accountants responsible for producing accurate and timely monthly management accounts, maintaining the trial balances across our four legal entities, and overseeing key balance sheet areas.

You’ll play a key part in ensuring high standards of financial control and accuracy while supporting the ongoing development and engagement of your team. Collaboration is at the heart of this role – you’ll work closely with the Financial Accountant, colleagues in Tax and Commercial Finance, and wider business stakeholders to meet reporting deadlines and continuously improve our finance processes. You’ll also have the opportunity to deputise for the Financial Controller, gain exposure to transformation projects, and champion the use of AI and automation within the Finance function.

• Review balance sheet reconciliations with the Financial Accountant and Financial Controller (Accounting).
• Play an active role in finance transformation projects and drive continuous improvement across systems and processes.
• Promote innovative approaches – including AI and automation – to enhance efficiency and accuracy.
