Assistant Management Accountant

£30,000 - £35,000 Full-Time Office-Based Flexible Start/Finish Times

The Opportunity

We're working with a growing business looking to bring in an Assistant Management Accountant to support their finance team. This is a great opportunity for someone who's already gained some hands-on experience in a commercial environment and is looking to step into a more involved, progressive role.

You'll be working closely with the Financial Controller, getting exposure to month-end, reporting, and the wider finance function, making this an ideal move for someone keen to develop towards a fully-fledged Management Accountant position.

• Supporting month-end close processes including journals, accrals and prepayments
• Carrying out balance sheet reconciliations
• Analysing variances against budgets and forecasts
• Supporting budgeting and forecasting activities
• Getting involved in transactional finance when required (purchase ledger, sales ledger, credit control)
• Maintaining accurate financial records and supporting internal controls
• Working with teams across the business to support decision-making
• Assisting with improving processes across the finance function

What We're Looking For

• AAT qualified (or part-qualified and actively studying)
• Previous experience in a commercial/industry finance role
• Strong Excel skills and confidence using finance systems
• Good understanding of management accounts processes
• High attention to detail and ability to meet deadlines
• A proactive, team-focused approach with strong communication skills

Nice to Have

• Experience in a manufacturing or operational environment
• Exposure to ERP or other accounting systems

Why Apply?

• Clear progression towards a Management Accountant role
• Hands-on experience across all areas of finance
• Flexible working hours within a full-time office environment
• Supportive team and growing business
