6–9-month contract role in Ipswich for a commercially aware Management Accountant Analyst

Your new company
Hays Accountancy & Finance are partnering with a major Suffolk employer based in Ipswich who are looking for a part-qualified Management Accountant with strong commercial finance analytical skills to join them on a 6-or-9-month contract.

Your new role
As the Interim Management Accounting Analyst, you will support the production of management accounts and branch‑level financial analysis as well as assist with financial information across the business, and contribute to forecasting, budgeting and long‑term planning.

Your day‑to‑day duties include preparing balance sheet reconciliations, assisting with year‑end audit preparations, managing core system interfaces into the General Ledger, completing government financial returns, and delivering ad‑hoc financial analysis to inform management decisions. The role also offers the chance to identify and implement process improvements to streamline reporting and develop your technical skills as you progress toward full qualification.

What you'll need to succeed
You will be a part‑qualified management accountant with the ability to translate financial data into clear, actionable insights for non‑financial stakeholders. You will demonstrate strong data‑analysis skills, with a talent for identifying trends and making practical recommendations, and the resilience to deliver accurate work under pressure and to tight deadlines.

Proficiency in Excel you will use formulas, pivot tables and data manipulation to analyse financial data performance to drive existing processes and continuous improvement. A questioning approach to financial reporting and a clear ambition to progress into a Finance Business Partner role are highly desirable.

What you'll get in return
The company offers a salary package of circa £32,000 - £35,000 depending on experience working at least 3 days in the office and 2 days from home. As explained, this will be a fixed-term contract of either 6 or 9 months to start before Christmas. Therefore, you will be immediately available or available at short notice.
