Management Accountant

If you've never worked in a manufacturing environment, this probably isn't the role for you.

This Ossett based business is looking for a Management Accountant to become a key part of its finance team. This isn't a reporting role where you'll disappear into spreadsheets all day. You'll be heavily involved with the operational side of the business, partnering with managers, supporting decision-making and taking ownership of a broad range of accounting responsibilities.

It's a role that offers genuine variety, visibility across the business and the opportunity to make a real impact.

What you'll be doing:

You'll take ownership of the monthly management accounts process from start to finish, ensuring accurate and timely reporting while providing meaningful insight into business performance.

• Payroll preparation for approximately 110 employees
• Business partnering with operational and budget managers
• Producing ad hoc financial analysis and management reports
• Supporting and developing a junior member of the finance team
• Acting as a key user of the company's ERP system

What they're looking for:
