Management Accountant

Save job

We’re proud to be partnering with a dynamic, fast-growing organisation based in Manchester’s City Centre. They’re looking for an ambitious Management Accountant to become part of their dynamic finance team - someone who’s not afraid to roll up their sleeves, challenge the status quo, and use financial insight to drive real impact across the business.

If you’re a PQ Accountant with at least two years’ management accounting experience and you love turning numbers into meaningful stories then this is a fantastic opportunity to grow your career in a forward-thinking, supportive environment.

Why You’ll Want to Join

  • Be part of a close-knit, motivated finance team where your ideas are valued and your work genuinely matters.
  • Receive ongoing professional development, tailored training, and the freedom to grow your skills your way.
  • Thrive in a culture built on trust, collaboration, and mutual respect - where success is shared, and people support each other every step of the way.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Preparing insightful monthly management accounts and commentary that drive business decisions.
  • Partnering with department heads to shape budgets, forecasts, and performance analysis.
  • Owning balance sheet reconciliations and ensuring accuracy across financial data.
  • Providing reports that turn numbers into clarity — helping teams understand the story behind the figures.
  • Supporting external audits and assisting with ad hoc projects alongside the Finance Manager.
  • Identifying opportunities to improve systems, streamline reporting, and strengthen financial controls.

What You’ll Bring

  • A minimum of two years’ experience in management accounting or a related role.
  • CIMA/ACCA part-qualified and eager to keep developing professionally.
  • Strong communication skills - able to explain finance in plain English to colleagues from all backgrounds.
  • A team-first mindset, great attention to detail, and solid Excel skills.
  • Any familiarity with Power BI or similar reporting tools is a bonus.

What Makes This Opportunity Stand Out

This organisation truly invests in its people, from mentoring and career development to flexible working and a genuine focus on wellbeing. The leadership team is approachable and inclusive, encouraging everyone to bring fresh ideas and think differently. You will also receive study support for ACCA/CIMA to complete your exams and become qualified.

You’ll be based in Manchester Centre, surrounded by creativity, collaboration, and a sense of community. Here, you’ll find a finance team that works hard, supports one another, and celebrates shared success.
