Hands-on Management Accountant role combining financial reporting and analysisYour new company An established organisation operating across multiple locations is looking to strengthen its regional finance capability with an experienced Management Accountant. With significant operational assets and a stable ownership structure, the business offers the opportunity to work within a well-established finance function while taking ownership of finance support at a regional level.

Your new role

Reporting into senior finance leadership, you will take responsibility for a broad range of management accounting, financial reporting and operational finance activities. You will support month-end processes, including journals, accruals, reconciliations and management reporting, while providing analysis and commentary around financial and operational performance. A key part of the position will be building strong relationships with operational teams at site level.

Rather than being purely office-based, you will proactively spend time across different locations, developing an understanding of day-to-day operations and providing practical financial support to managers.

What you'll need to succeed To be successful in this role, you will be an experienced accountant with a strong grounding in management or financial accounting. Previous experience within an operational, manufacturing, agriculture, FMCG or similarly asset-intensive environment will be highly regarded.



You will be comfortable working with operational stakeholders and spending time away from your desk to understand what is happening across the business.

Strong communication skills and commercial judgement will be important, along with the confidence to question processes, maintain appropriate financial controls and raise issues when something does not align with established policies. You will ideally hold, or be working towards, CA or CPA qualifications and possess robust Excel and financial systems skills.

What you'll get in return

This is an opportunity to take ownership of a broad Management Accountant position with genuine exposure to both finance and operations. You will work closely with experienced finance leaders while building relationships across operational sites and developing a strong understanding of the wider business.

The position offers considerable variety, including exposure to inventory, stock takes, asset accounting, valuations, budgeting, reporting and commercial analysis. You will also have exposure to the broader finance function and the opportunity to contribute to the continued development of regional finance processes and controls.
