Fancy joining a business that's building real momentum and has some exciting growth plans ahead?

I'm currently recruiting for a Management Accountant to join a growing business in York. Following a period of positive change and improvement, the business has strengthened its foundations and is now focused on its next phase of growth, with plans to expand, pursue acquisitions and continue developing its finance function.

Reporting into the Financial Controller, you'll take ownership of monthly management reporting across multiple entities, providing the financial insight needed to support decision-making across the business.

It's a hands-on role with plenty of variety, covering management accounts, budgeting, forecasting, cash flow and commercial analysis. There's also real scope to improve reporting, systems and processes as the business continues to develop.

The Role:

• Prepare monthly management accounts across multiple entities, including P&L, balance sheet, cash flow and commentary.
• Own key month-end activities, including journals, accruals, prepayments and balance sheet reconciliations.
• Analyse performance against budget, forecast and prior year, explaining variances and key drivers.
• Build and maintain KPI reporting and dashboards covering margin, costs and profitability.
• Monitor cash flow and working capital, highlighting potential risks and opportunities.
• Provide commercial analysis and support business cases for investment decisions.
• Work with budget holders and non-finance stakeholders to improve financial understanding and decision-making.
• Identify opportunities to improve finance processes, controls and systems, including automating regular reporting.
• Support year-end audit activity and preparation of supporting schedules.

What they're looking for:

• CIMA or ACCA part-qualified, qualified, or qualified by experience.
• Around 2-5 years' management accounting experience.
• Strong hands-on experience across month-end, management accounts, budgeting and forecasting.
• Advanced Excel skills, including lookups, pivot tables and financial modelling.
• Experience using an ERP or accounting system such as Sage, Xero or Odoo.
• Confident communicating financial information to non-finance colleagues.
• Someone accurate, organised and comfortable working to reporting deadlines.
• Power BI, Tableau or experience automating finance processes would be advantageous.
• A proactive, commercially minded individual who enjoys getting into the detail and taking ownership.

What's on offer?

• Salary up to £50,000, depending on experience.
• 25 days' annual leave plus bank holidays.
• Hybrid working - 3 days in the office.
• Study support towards CIMA or ACCA.
• Bonus scheme being introduced in early 2027.
• Direct exposure to senior leadership.
• The opportunity to join a business with ambitious growth plans and a clear focus on developing its finance function.

This is a good opportunity for someone who wants more than just producing the numbers. You'll have the chance to take ownership, improve the quality of financial reporting and play a part in supporting a business with plenty happening over the next few years.
