As Management Accountant, you will play a pivotal role in delivering accurate and timely financial reporting, supporting operational finance processes, and driving process improvements. This role is ideal for a technically strong, detail-oriented individual who thrives in a collaborative environment and has experience managing both recurring finance operations and ad hoc analysis.

• Confident in handling complex reconciliations and financial controls
• Experience with ERP systems such as Sage 200, SAP, NAV, or similar
• Proficient in Excel, with the ability to interpret and manipulate data
• Excellent interpersonal skills with the ability to communicate effectively across finance and non-finance stakeholders
• Self-motivated, organised, and able to manage competing priorities in a fast-paced environment
• Previous experience managing or supporting a small team is desirable

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead and deliver the monthly management accounts process, including journal posting, accruals, and reconciliations
• Manage financial reporting cycles, ensuring accuracy, completeness, and alignment with group policies
• Perform regular control checks on financial postings and maintain a strong internal control framework
• Support payroll input and the end-to-end purchase/sales ledger process
• Liaise with external suppliers and ensure timely vendor payments and customer invoicing
• Drive continuous improvement across financial processes and systems
• Assist with audit preparation and compliance with statutory, regulatory, and internal requirements
• Support business stakeholders with financial queries and help interpret financial data to drive decision-making
