Your new company 
An established and growing organisation is looking to expand its finance team with an experienced Management Accountant. The business offers a supportive working environment and an opportunity to work closely with senior leaders across finance, operations and commercial functions.
Your new role 
Reporting to senior finance leadership, you will support the organisation’s accounting, reporting and commercial activities. You will take responsibility for month-end processes, including journals, accruals, prepayments, balance sheet reconciliations and management reporting. You will prepare clear commentary on financial performance and investigate material movements against budgets, forecasts and prior periods.
Working closely with operational stakeholders, you will assist with annual budgets and rolling forecasts while helping managers understand key financial and operational drivers. You will develop and maintain reports, KPIs and dashboards, provide analysis on costs and business performance, and identify opportunities to improve margins, processes and operational efficiency. 
The role will also support audit requirements, financial controls, data quality and continuous improvement initiatives across the finance function.
What you'll need to succeed 
To be successful in this role, you will have practical accounting experience covering month-end close, balance sheet reconciliations, management reporting, budgeting and financial analysis. A degree in accounting, finance or a related discipline is required, with CA or CPA qualifications preferred or currently in progress.
You will have strong Excel and accounting systems skills, with experience using Power BI or other reporting tools viewed favourably. You will be analytical, commercially aware and comfortable explaining financial information to non-finance stakeholders. Strong communication, organisation and problem-solving skills will be important, along with the ability to manage competing priorities and meet reporting deadlines.
What you'll get in return 
You will receive a competitive salary package along with access to internal benefits. This is an opportunity to take ownership of a broad management accounting position, work closely with senior leaders and build your commercial experience within an established organisation. You will also have the opportunity to improve reporting processes and contribute to meaningful business decisions.
