Job Description
Tired of producing reports no one reads? This is your chance to take ownership of the numbers and see your insight shape real decisions.
We're recruiting on behalf of a privately owned hospitality and leisure group in the North East, a business that values autonomy, trusts its people, and gives direct access to decision-makers.
You'll be fully hands-on, working closely with the founder and senior team, not buried under layers of hierarchy. There are no line management responsibilities, making this ideal for someone who enjoys focusing on the numbers and driving meaningful financial insight.
Why this role?
- Autonomy and ownership: You'll lead all aspects of management reporting, budgeting, and VAT across a multi-venue group.
- Direct access to the top: You'll work closely with the business owner and directors, contributing financial insight that directly influences key decisions.
- Clear progression path: The previous post-holder was promoted to Director. That says a lot about what's possible here.
- Structured handover: The current Management Accountant is retiring but remains in post to ensure a smooth transition.
Who we're looking for
You'll need to be an experienced management accountant, someone who's confident in producing monthly management accounts, rolling forecasts, VAT returns and weekly cashflow reports. You'll also be comfortable taking responsibility without needing day-to-day direction.
- 5+ years' experience in a finance role, with strong management accounts exposure
- Strong technical grounding and attention to detail
- Excellent Excel skills and experience across group or multi-entity structures
- Ability to communicate clearly with non-finance colleagues
- Ideally part-qualified (ACCA/CIMA), however if you consider yourself qualified through experience, that will be equally considered
Hospitality sector experience would be a bonus, but isn't essential.
This is an office-based role, located in East Boldon, Tyne & Wear. You'll need to be within reasonable commuting distance and comfortable working on-site as part of a close-knit team.
Ready to take the next step?
If this role sounds like it could be the right fit for you, don't wait.
Apply now with your CV or, if you'd prefer a more informal start, reach out on LinkedIn or give Natalie Marshall a call. A confidential chat is often the easiest way to explore whether this could be a match.
The outgoing Management Accountant is still in post, so there's a window for a proper handover, but that won't be the case for long.
