Senior Management Accountant

Bristol Hybrid

£60,000 - £70,000 + benefits (DOE)

We're supporting a growing, commercially focused business in Bristol with the appointment of a Senior Management Accountant to strengthen their finance function during an important phase of growth and decision-making.

This is a broad, hands-on role combining core month-end ownership with forward looking scenario and "what-if" analysis to support senior stakeholders.

You'll take responsibility for the day-to-day management accounting cycle while playing a key role in helping the business understand performance drivers and future outcomes.

Key responsibilities include:

• Full ownership of the month-end close (P&L, balance sheet, journals, accruals, prepayments)
• Preparation and presentation of management accounts with clear commentary
• Variance analysis vs budget and forecast
• Building and maintaining scenario models to support commercial and strategic decisions
• (e.g. sensitivity analysis, cost/investment trade-offs, growth scenarios)
• Working closely with non-finance stakeholders to explain the numbers and implications
• Supporting budgeting, forecasting and continuous improvement of reporting

• ACA / ACCA / CIMA qualified (or equivalent)
• Strong management accounting background with solid month-end experience
• Comfortable with scenario modelling and analytical thinking (not a pure modelling role)
• Commercially minded and able to translate numbers into insight
• Confident engaging with senior stakeholders
• Experience in an SME or growth-oriented environment preferred
