Assistant Management Account
This is an Assistant Management Accountant role within a fast-growing commerces business based in North Manchester. The business has recently been recognised as one of the UK’s fastest expanding companies and is continuing to scale at pace following a sustained period of strong growth.
This role sits within a high-performing and collaborative finance team and has been created because of expansion. It will work closely with the Financial Controller and Finance Manager, supporting the production of accurate and timely management accounts, as well as providing meaningful financial insight to support decision-making across the wider business. This is a commercially focused role that will give the successful candidate broad exposure across the full month-end process. You will be involved in the preparation of monthly management accounts, including P&L, Balance Sheet and Cash Flow reporting, alongside the preparation and posting of journals including accruals and prepayments among other tasks.
You will be actively studying AAT, ACCA or CIMA (or equivalent) and will typically have 1–4 years’ experience within a finance or accounting environment. Exposure to month-end processes, journals and reconciliations will be essential, alongside advanced Excel skills including pivots, lookups and formulas. Experience within stock-based, retail or ecommerce environments would be advantageous, as would familiarity with systems such as Sage 200 or similar.
This is an excellent opportunity for someone looking to step up from transactional finance into a more commercially focused management accounting role within a dynamic and rapidly expanding business, offering strong development and progression opportunities within a supportive finance team.
