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.

The business offers a supportive environment, flexible working hours (around a full-time office setup), and a chance to genuinely add value.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Assisting with the preparation of monthly management accounts
  • 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
