Management Accountant

Like your numbers to add up, but also want to know what they actually mean for the business?

I’m working with a growing, acquisitive business in Bradford, who are looking for a Management Accountant who can get stuck into the detail, improve how things are done and help the wider business make better decisions.

It’s a hands-on reporting role, working closely with the Finance Manager, the reporting team and senior leadership. You’ll have responsibility for getting accurate numbers out on time, but also making sure they’re useful.

• Produce weekly and monthly P&L accounts and supporting reports
• Own monthly balance sheet reconciliations, including intercompany balances
• Support month-end, working with the reporting and transactional teams to meet deadlines
• Analyse costs and variances to highlight areas requiring attention
• Work with senior leadership to support business decisions and strategic objectives
• Provide accurate information for year-end audit
• Identify opportunities to improve financial systems, processes and reporting
• Pick up ad hoc analysis to support operational activity

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆’𝗿𝗲 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿:

• Understanding of budgeting, forecasting and cash flow reporting
• Advanced Excel skills, including lookups, pivot tables and formulas

It’s a good opportunity for an accountant who enjoys getting the reporting right, building relationships across the business and finding better ways of working, rather than simply producing numbers and moving on.
