Management Accountant

Hook, Hampshire (2 days in office) | Regular travel to Grimsby, Derby & Corby
£50,000-£60,000 + 10% Bonus

Permanent, full-time role

I am recruiting on behalf of a well‑known fast‑growing, tech‑enabled consumer business that is transforming the way a traditional industry operates. With multiple large‑scale operational sites across the UK, they're now looking for a Site Accountant to take ownership of financial reporting and controls for key production locations.

This is a brilliant opportunity for a commercially minded accountant who enjoys being close to operations, influencing decision‑making on site, and working with high‑value inventory in a fast‑paced environment.

You’ll be responsible for the day‑to‑day accounting and reporting for one or two major operational sites, working closely with site leadership and a Finance Business Partner to ensure accurate, timely, and insightful financial information.

This is not a desk‑only role; you’ll regularly visit sites in Grimsby, Derby and Corby, building strong relationships with operational teams and gaining a real understanding of how the business runs on the ground.

Key responsibilities include:

• Producing monthly site management accounts, including accruals, prepayments and deferred income
• Full general ledger ownership for your sites
• Balance sheet reconciliations and analysis, including inventory and work‑in‑progress
• Supporting and attending stock counts, investigating and resolving variances
• Variance analysis against forecast and budget with clear commentary
• Managing cost recharges and intercompany reconciliations
• Presenting monthly financial performance to operational stakeholders
• Partnering with site leadership to identify cost efficiencies and process improvements
• Supporting budgets, forecasts, and year‑end audit

This role would suit someone who enjoys taking ownership and partnering with operational teams rather than working purely in head office finance.

• Experience in accounting and reporting for large operational sites
• Strong understanding of inventory, WIP, and balance sheet control
• Ability to work independently and manage deadlines in a fast‑moving environment
• ACCA/CIMA or ACA qualified
• Experience improving financial or operational processes
  
  Confidence presenting financial information to non‑finance stakeholders
• Strong Excel skills; experience with ERP systems such as Business Central is a bonus

You’ll need to be well organised, detail‑focused, and comfortable balancing hands‑on finance with stakeholder engagement on site.

• £50,000-£60,000 salary (depending on experience)
• 10% discretionary bonus
• 25 days holiday + bank holidays
• Employer pension contribution
• Hybrid working – 2 days per week in Hook, Hampshire office

Please note that only shortlisted candidates will be contacted.
