Management Accountant

Management Accountant

£50,000 - £60,000 Early Friday finish Stable manufacturing business

If you're a hands-on Management Accountant looking for a permanent role where you can genuinely influence how finance supports the business, this could be a great next step.

This is an opportunity to join a well-established manufacturing company in a visible, value-adding role. You'll be trusted to take ownership of reporting, partner with operations, and help modernise financial processes, rather than just maintaining the status quo.

What You'll Be Doing

You'll play a key role in day-to-day finance operations while working closely with non-finance teams across the site. Your work will have a direct impact on decision-making and performance.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Producing accurate monthly management accounts
• Supporting and improving the month-end close process
• Partnering with production and engineering teams to provide commercial insight
• Assisting with weekly P&L reporting and cashflow forecasting
• Helping improve and streamline financial processes and controls
• Supporting continuous improvement within a legacy SAP environment
• Working alongside senior finance leaders, including the Finance Director

Why This Role Could Suit You

This role is ideal if you enjoy being close to the business, spotting inefficiencies, and improving how finance operates.

You'll likely be:

• Qualified or qualified by experience - practical capability matters most
• Confident owning month-end and management reporting
• Comfortable working in a hands-on, on-site environment
• Interested in process improvement rather than "business as usual"
• A clear communicator who enjoys building relationships outside finance

Manufacturing experience is helpful but not essential, attitude, curiosity, and strong core accounting skills are key.

What You'll Get in Return

• £50,000 - £60,000 salary
• Permanent, stable role with real scope to add value
• 37-hour week with a 12pm finish every Friday
• On-site role with some flexibility
• Friendly, supportive culture
• Modern facilities and free on-site parking

If you want a role where your work is seen, valued, and used, and where you can shape how finance supports a manufacturing operation, this is well worth exploring.
