Management Accountant

Talent Finance are working with an established and evolving business in the Poole area to recruit an experienced Management Accountant into a key role within its finance team.

This is a hands on role with a strong focus on transformation, MI and continuous improvement. The business is evolving, so we're looking for someone with solid experience who is comfortable stepping into a challenging environment, getting stuck in and helping drive things forward.

• Developing MI and reporting to provide clearer, more meaningful commercial insight
• Improving cashflow forecasting, working capital visibility and financial planning
• Analysing performance, trends, variances, costs and margins and turning this into actionable insight
• Supporting product costing, margin analysis and cost control
• Partnering with operational, supply chain and commercial teams
• Supporting budgeting, forecasting and longer term planning
• Improving finance processes, controls and reporting
• Maintaining strong month end and management accounting disciplines while helping move the finance function forward

We're looking for someone with excellent Management Accounting experience who enjoys change, improvement and problem solving. You'll need to be resilient, adaptable and happy to roll your sleeves up when required. Experience with in manufacturing, FMCG or another fast-paced operational environment would be particularly relevant.

ACA, ACCA or CIMA qualification would be beneficial, although very strong candidates qualified by experience will also be considered. Strong Excel and ERP systems experience are important.
