Management Accountant

I'm currently partnering with a well-established manufacturing business in Wakefield that is looking to recruit a Management Accountant to join its finance team. This is a fantastic opportunity to join a successful and growing organisation where you'll play a key role in delivering accurate financial reporting, supporting operational decision-making, and contributing to the continued success of the business.

Reporting to the Financial Controller, you'll be responsible for producing monthly management accounts, supporting budgeting and forecasting, and providing financial insight to operational teams. This is a varied, commercially focused role offering excellent exposure across the business and genuine opportunities for career development.

Key responsibilities:

• Preparing monthly management accounts with analysis and commentary
• Supporting budgeting, forecasting, and annual planning
• Monitoring production costs, inventory, margins, and operational KPIs
• Producing variance analysis and identifying trends and opportunities
• Business partnering with operational managers to improve performance and control costs
• Supporting cash flow forecasting, balance sheet reconciliations, and month-end reporting
• Assisting with stock reporting, financial controls, and process improvements

About you:

• ACA, ACCA, or CIMA qualified, part-qualified, or qualified by experience
• Previous experience in a Management Accountant or Assistant Management Accountant role
• Strong analytical and communication skills with a commercial mindset
• Manufacturing experience is advantageous but not essential

This is an excellent opportunity for an ambitious finance professional looking to develop their career within a thriving manufacturing business. If you're looking for a broad, commercially focused role where you can make a genuine impact, I'd be keen to speak with you.
