Management Accountant
Cardiff
Up to £40,000 + Excellent Benefits
A unique opportunity to join a highly respected Welsh organisation and make a genuine impact through finance.
Mrwell Talent Solutions are delighted to be partnering with a highly respected and values-driven organisation based in Cardiff, as they look to appoint an experienced Management Accountant to join their finance team on a permanent basis. This is not your typical Management Accountant position. Working within an organisation that plays an important role in the arts and cultural landscape across Wales, youll be joining a friendly and collaborative finance team where your work will genuinely contribute to something meaningful.

Our client is looking for the right person rather than simply the right CV and, importantly, they are prepared to wait for the right candidate. So, if youre considering your next move but dont want to rush into the wrong opportunity, this could be one worth exploring.
The Opportunity
Reporting closely into the senior finance team, youll work alongside the Finance Director and Finance Business Partner, supporting both the core organisation and its trading subsidiary. Youll be taking over from a long-standing and highly valued member of the team who is retiring, giving you the opportunity to step into a well-established role and build on an excellent foundation.
The role offers genuine variety, combining technical management accounting, financial reporting, budgeting, forecasting, analysis and business partnering, alongside the opportunity to support wider finance transformation projects. With multiple departments, projects, income streams and a trading subsidiary, this is a varied and intellectually engaging environment where there is plenty to get involved with.
What will you be doing?
Producing accurate and insightful monthly management accounts and financial reports
Supporting budgeting and forecasting across multiple departments, projects and cost centres
Supporting the financial management of both the organisation and its trading subsidiary
Providing meaningful financial analysis, insight and performance reporting
Analysing financial and operational performance and producing detailed analytical information
Working closely with non-finance stakeholders, helping them understand and use financial information effectively
Supporting funding reporting requirements and analysing multiple income streams
Managing balance sheet reconciliations and ensuring financial accuracy
Supporting project and production-based budgeting
Supervising, mentoring and supporting two members of the finance team
Working closely with senior leadership to support informed decision-making
Identifying opportunities to improve processes, controls and efficiencies
Playing an active role in upcoming finance transformation projects, including the implementation of a new ERP system
About You
Were looking for an experienced Management Accountant who enjoys more than simply producing the numbers. Youll be technically strong, commercially aware and confident communicating with people at all levels.

Ideally, you will have:
ACA, ACCA or CIMA qualification, or be part-qualified with significant relevant experience
Strong management accounting and financial reporting experience
Excellent budgeting, forecasting and analytical skills
Strong Excel capabilities
Experience working with a large integrated ERP system; SAP experience would be particularly advantageous
Excellent communication skills and the confidence to explain financial information to non-finance professionals
Previous supervisory or team leadership experience would be highly advantageous
A strong eye for detail and a commitment to accuracy
The ability to manage multiple priorities and deadlines effectively
A proactive, collaborative and solutions-focused approach
We will also consider candidates who are qualified by experience and have gained substantial experience in a similar Management Accountant position.
