Management Accountant

We are working with a well-established and growing engineering and manufacturing business that is looking to add a Management Accountant to its finance team on a permanent basis.

This is a hands-on role where you'll be involved in producing accurate monthly accounts, supporting the wider finance function, and helping improve how things are done across the team. You'll also have some exposure to payroll-related figures and processes as part of month-end reporting and coordination with HR.

You'll be responsible for producing monthly management accounts, making sure results are accurate and well understood, and providing commentary on key variances. You'll also support budgeting and forecasting, along with day-to-day finance tasks such as reconciliations, VAT returns, and maintaining the fixed asset register.

A key part of the role will be making sure financial data is clean, consistent, and reliable, while also helping to improve processes and reduce manual work where possible.

You'll work closely with other parts of the business, helping them understand costs and performance, and ensuring finance plays a key role in decision-making.
