RECfinancial is partnering with a well-established £70 million turnover Northampton-based business in the recruitment of a Senior Management Accountant. The role is based at the company's impressive Northampton facility and is commutable from Northampton, Milton Keynes, Daventry, Kettering, Wellingborough and South Leicester. This is an excellent opportunity to join a growing and investment-backed organisation that continues to strengthen its finance function. Reporting directly to the Financial Controller, the role offers a genuine blend of management accounting, commercial analysis and business partnering. The successful candidate will take ownership of management accounting for a number of business units, whilst supporting senior operational stakeholders through budgeting, forecasting, variance analysis and commercial decision-making. You will be responsible for delivering high-quality financial information, identifying risks and opportunities, supporting business projects and helping drive performance across the organisation. The role offers significant exposure to senior stakeholders, including operational leaders and directors, making it ideal for an individual who enjoys understanding the detail behind the numbers and influencing decision-making through insightful financial analysis. Suitable candidates will be fully qualified (ACA, ACCA or CIMA) and may currently be working as a Senior Management Accountant, Management Accountant, Finance Business Partner or Commercial Accountant. Strong analytical skills and the ability to communicate financial information to non-finance stakeholders are essential. Experience within a manufacturing, engineering, automotive or similarly complex environment would be advantageous, although this is by no means essential. Exposure to SAP would also be beneficial. The hiring manager joined the business in this very role before progressing to Financial Controller, demonstrating the long-term career opportunities available within the organisation. The position offers a salary of up to £60,000 alongside an excellent benefits package including 25 days holiday plus bank holidays, a pension scheme with employer contributions matched up to 6%, private medical insurance, life assurance, income protection, and further benefits.
