Are you looking for a finance role where you'll gain exposure far beyond month-end journals? We're partnering with one of the UK's largest and most respected infrastructure and engineering organisations to recruit an Assistant Management Accountant to join their growing finance team. Supporting some of the country's most complex engineering, construction and industrial projects, this organisation employs thousands of people across the UK and continues to invest heavily in both its people and its finance function.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone looking to accelerate their accounting career within a large, forward-thinking business that genuinely promotes internal progression. You'll work alongside experienced finance professionals, gain exposure to multiple areas of management accounting and business finance, and play a key role in supporting operational decision-making across the business.

Whether you're studying AAT, ACCA or CIMA, or simply looking to build on your finance experience, this role offers genuine long-term development within a collaborative and supportive environment.

The Opportunity

As Assistant Management Accountant, you'll become an integral member of the finance team, supporting month-end reporting, balance sheet reconciliations, cash management and financial analysis across a busy, fast-paced operation.

This is a varied role where no two days are the same. You'll gain hands-on exposure to payroll accounting, treasury, VAT, management accounts, commercial reporting and process improvement while working closely with stakeholders across multiple business functions.

If you're someone who enjoys improving processes, solving problems and developing your technical accounting skills, you'll thrive here.
