Your new role

As the temporary Management Accountant, you will support the team with month-end reporting, which will include accruals, prepayments, journals and reviewing operational costs, including payroll costs, balance sheet reconciliations and analysis of budget variances. You will also track and reconcile cash transactions from various income streams as well as deal with any queries from the budget holders. This is a crucial role in the team and requires ongoing commitment which may be extended to 3 months, so ideally, we are looking for a candidate who is happy to commit to a temporary Management Accountant job. This will be based in Ipswich, working 5-days a week with the possibility of hybrid working depending on your experience.
