Senior Management Accountant – 6 Month FTC
An established corporate organisation is looking for an experienced Senior Management Accountant to join its finance function on an initial six-month fixed-term contract.
Following a restructure within finance, this is a key appointment focused on stabilising the management accounting function, embedding new ways of working and supporting the team through a period of change.
This is therefore more than a traditional BAU management accounting position. The successful candidate will need to be comfortable stepping into an evolving environment, quickly understanding existing processes and taking ownership.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead and manage the month-end process
- Produce accurate management accounts and high-quality management information
- Review journals, accruals, prepayments and key balance sheet areas
- Manage and develop members of the finance team
- Partner with senior stakeholders and provide meaningful financial insight
- Improve financial processes, controls and reporting
- Help embed a recently restructured finance team
- Support year-end, audit and wider financial reporting requirements
- Contribute to systems, automation and process improvement projects
The Ideal Candidate
- ACA, ACCA or CIMA
- Strong end-to-end management accounting experience
- Previous experience managing or developing a team
- Confident operating within a changing or evolving finance environment
- Strong stakeholder management and communication skills
- Commercial, hands-on and comfortable getting into the detail
- Able to identify and implement process improvements
- Strong Excel and finance systems knowledge
This would be an excellent contract for an experienced Management Accountant or Finance Manager who enjoys coming into a business during a period of change, creating structure and making a tangible impact.
