Temporary Management Accountant

Management Accountant (Temporary - Approx. 3 Months, Potential to Go Permanent)
Location: Central Bristol (Hybrid - 3 days in the office)

Morgan McKinley is supporting a long-standing Bristol SME with the appointment of an experienced Management Accountant who can join them on a 3-month interim contract. For the right person, there's every chance this could convert into a permanent opportunity - but if you're simply looking for a solid contract to get stuck into, that works too.

We're looking for someone who can start within a maximum of 2 weeks' notice and who has genuine end-to-end management accounts experience within an SME environment. The finance team is hands-on, supportive, and busy, so you'll need to be confident picking work up quickly and running with it.

• Full ownership of monthly management accounts, including journals, accruals, and prepayments

• Balance sheet reconciliations and maintaining accurate financial records

• Variance analysis and commentary to support senior leadership

• Cashflow forecasting and monitoring

• Support with budgeting and forecasting cycles

• Working closely with operational teams to understand cost drivers

• Helping streamline processes and improve reporting where needed

• Month-end close responsibilities from start to finish

• Strong SME background - you're used to rolling your sleeves up

• Comfortable taking full ownership of the management accounts process

• Able to start within 2 weeks

• Confident working in a hybrid setup (3 days in the Bristol office)

• Someone who enjoys being embedded in a business and adding value quickly

If you'd like to hear more, call Lucy at Morgan McKinley on (phone number removed), or hit apply and we'll be in touch.
