Senior Management Accountant

There's plenty here to make the Senior Management Accountant role more than a month-end reporting job. You'll have access to senior decision-makers, visibility across several parts of a growing building services organisation and the chance to turn financial information into decisions that improve performance. With a competitive salary, flexible start and finish times and an enhanced pension, there's a strong package too.

You'll combine hands-on management accounting with genuine business partnering, working directly with senior leadership and departmental heads. Rather than simply producing the numbers, you'll explain what they mean, challenge where appropriate and help people make better commercial decisions. It's an opportunity to get under the skin of the business and have your analysis listened to. This candidate-focused, concise approach follows the principle that an advert should sell the opportunity rather than reproduce a job description.
