Job description

There's plenty here to make the Senior Management Accountant role more than a month-end reporting job. You'll have access to senior decision-makers, visibility across several parts of a growing building services organisation and the chance to turn financial information into decisions that improve performance. With a competitive salary, flexible start and finish times and an enhanced pension, there's a strong package too.

You'll combine hands-on management accounting with genuine business partnering, working directly with senior leadership and departmental heads. Rather than simply producing the numbers, you'll explain what they mean, challenge where appropriate and help people make better commercial decisions. It's an opportunity to get under the skin of the business and have your analysis listened to. This candidate-focused, concise approach follows the principle that an advert should sell the opportunity rather than reproduce a job description.

Reporting to the Managing Director, you will be responsible for:

• Producing monthly management accounts, including P&L, balance sheets, variance commentary and profitability reporting
• Consolidating financial information across five entities
• Managing budgeting, three-month forecasting and weekly cash flow forecasting
• Owning the month-end process, working towards final management accounts by working day 10
• Business partnering with senior leaders and departmental heads, turning financial data into useful commercial insight
• Analysing profitability, costs, individual jobs and projects to identify opportunities for improvement
• Presenting financial performance at monthly management meetings
• Leading the finance side of the year-end audit and improving reporting and cost control

What you will need:

• Previous experience in a similar role, such as Senior Management Accountant, Management Accountant, Finance Manager or Commercial Management Accountant
• Strong management accounting, budgeting, forecasting and analytical experience
• CIMA, ACCA or ACA qualification would be ideal, although QBE candidates with strong relevant experience will also be considered
• Confidence building relationships with senior and non-finance stakeholders, with some previous business partnering experience ideally

What you will get:

• 22 days' annual leave plus bank holidays
• Enhanced pension scheme
• Life insurance
• Flexible working hours around core hours of 10am-3pm
• Free parking
• Regular company events
