Senior Management Accountant

You’ll take ownership of the management accounting process while acting as a key finance partner to the wider food manufacturing operation.

That means getting into the detail of costing, waste, yield, labour, stock and profitability — then turning that information into something the business can actually use.

You’ll be working closely with operations, production and senior stakeholders — challenging performance, understanding costs, improving efficiency and helping the business make better decisions.

• Leading the month-end process and delivering accurate management accounts
• Providing financial insight and challenge to operational and site teams
• Analysing production costs, labour, materials, overheads, waste and yield
• Managing and developing standard costing models
• Supporting budgeting, forecasting and Capex decisions
• Identifying cost-saving and continuous improvement opportunities
• Supporting inventory valuation and stock controls
• Improving financial processes, reporting and systems
• Supporting statutory reporting and audit activity

• Fully qualified ACCA, CIMA, ACA or equivalent
• Strong management accounting experience within manufacturing - ideally experience within food, FMCG
• Strong understanding of standard costing and manufacturing finance
• Advanced Excel and ERP experience
• Someone confident partnering with and challenging non-finance stakeholders

You’ll have genuine visibility across the operation and the opportunity to influence how the business performs — from improving production efficiency to identifying where money is being lost and where it can be saved.

If you’re a qualified Management Accountant who enjoys getting beyond the numbers and into the operation, this could be a very good next step.
