Management Accountant (ACA/ACCA/CIMA)

Your new company
I am currently supporting a Rail company who is looking for a qualified and detail-driven Management Accountant to join their dynamic finance team. This is a fantastic opportunity to join a fast-paced business during a period of exciting growth and transformation.


Your new role
This role will work very closely with the other Management Accountants, and with the Financial Controller to ensure that all aspects of the company’s financial operations run smoothly. You’ll take ownership of head office and central cost reporting, support the monthly management accounts, and work closely with budget holders to provide meaningful analysis and reporting. Key responsibilities will include:
  • Prepare monthly and annual management accounts and provide commentary
  • Assist the Financial Controller to deliver enhancements to the financial reporting in response to the needs of the directors and management team
  • Assist in the design and implementation of improved financial processes and controls
  • Budgeting & forecasting
  • Perform detailed variance analysis against budget and prior year
  • Prepare monthly balance sheet reconciliations, focusing on accruals and prepayments
  • Provide financial support and analysis for various projects and contracts, for both the Finance Controller and Finance Director
  • Key role in the annual statutory audit

What you'll need to succeed
The client is seeking a Fully Qualified Accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA) with industry experience. Experience within the rail / transport or other heavy sectors is desirable but not essential. You’ll have strong communication skills and a collaborative mindset, as well as being highly organised, analytical and adaptable to changing priorities.

What you'll get in return
You’ll be joining a well-established business with a collaborative culture and a passion for innovation. They offer a competitive salary, hybrid working, and a range of benefits designed to support your wellbeing and career growth. You'll be offered a competitive salary of £60,000 - £70,000 + bonus + benefits.
