Our client is a growing UK eLearning provider that creates accessible, bite-sized online training for individuals, employers and partner organisations.

The business develops its own learning technology and content, delivering training solutions across a range of sectors. It is now looking for a capable Management Accountant to take ownership of its day-to-day financial operations and reporting.

We are looking for a commercially minded and hands-on Management Accountant to manage the finances of two small businesses and their holding company.

This is not a purely reporting-focused position. You will be comfortable moving between bookkeeping, payments, invoicing and bank reconciliations while also producing accurate management information and helping senior stakeholders understand the group’s financial performance.

The role would suit someone who enjoys taking ownership, improving financial processes and working closely with colleagues in a growing SME environment.

• Manage day-to-day bookkeeping across two operating businesses and their holding company.
• Raise customer invoices and monitor outstanding receivables.
• Process supplier invoices and oversee outgoing payments.
• Complete regular bank and balance-sheet reconciliations.
• Maintain accurate ledgers and financial records.
• Prepare monthly management accounts and financial reports.
• Monitor cash flow and support short-term cash-flow forecasting.
• Assist with budgeting, forecasting and variance analysis.
• Support month-end and year-end accounting processes.
• Liaise with external accountants, suppliers and professional partners where required.
• Identify opportunities to improve financial controls, reporting and administrative processes.
• Provide clear financial information to support commercial decision-making.

• Previous experience in a management accounting, finance management or similar role.
• Comfortable completing transactional finance and bookkeeping alongside management reporting.
• Strong understanding of bank reconciliations, accounts payable and accounts receivable.
• Able to prepare clear and accurate management information.
• Highly organised, dependable and attentive to detail.
• Confident managing competing priorities across multiple businesses.
• Comfortable working independently and taking ownership of the finance function.
• Proactive in identifying problems and improving processes.
• Strong Excel skills and confidence using accounting software.
• Part-qualified, fully qualified and qualified-by-experience applicants will all be considered.

This is an opportunity to take genuine ownership of the finances of a growing group of businesses. You will receive broad exposure, work closely with senior decision-makers and have the opportunity to improve the systems and processes supporting the organisation’s continued growth.
