Group Management Accountant

Group Management Accountant

South Northamptonshire / North Oxfordshire Border

Permanent | Full Time | Office Based

SF Recruitment are supporting a growing, multi-entity organisation in the appointment of a Group Management Accountant to join their central finance team.

Reporting into the Group Financial Controller, this is a broad, hands-on role with responsibility for producing accurate management accounts, supporting Group reporting and providing meaningful analysis around business performance.

Key responsibilities will include:

• Preparation of monthly management accounts across multiple entities
• Month-end journals, accruals, prepayments and provisions
• Ownership of balance sheet reconciliations and financial controls
• Supporting Group consolidation and intercompany accounting
• Variance analysis against budget, forecast and prior periods
• Providing clear commentary and insight around financial performance
• Supporting budgeting, forecasting and external audit
• Stock, margin and cost accounting
• Working with operational and non-finance stakeholders
• Supporting improvements to finance processes, systems and reporting

We're looking for a part-qualified, finalist or newly qualified CIMA/ACCA accountant with strong management accounting and month-end experience.

You’ll ideally have experience within a multi-entity or Group environment, although this isn't essential. More important is a strong technical grounding, confidence with balance sheet reconciliations and financial analysis, and the ability to investigate numbers rather than simply report them.

This would suit someone looking for a broad Management Accountant position within a growing business where they can gain exposure across Group reporting, consolidation, commercial analysis and process improvement.
