Management Accountant

Management Accountant | Leeds | Up to £50,000 DOE

This is a business that's growing for the right reasons. Sales are increasing, operations are expanding, and they're looking for a Management Accountant who wants to do more than produce month-end reports and move on to the next deadline.

Reporting directly to an experienced Head of Finance, you'll join a finance team where people are encouraged to ask questions, understand the wider business, and contribute ideas. The Head of Finance is genuinely invested in developing their team, making this a strong opportunity for someone looking to progress their career over the next few years.

The culture is people-first, supportive and down-to-earth. You'll be given the space to learn, develop and take on more responsibility as the business continues to grow.

Why This Role Exists

Finance plays a key role in decision-making across the business, and they need someone who wants to be proactive rather than purely reactive.

They are looking for somebody who naturally asks "why?" — someone who enjoys understanding what's driving the numbers, spotting trends, challenging assumptions and helping operational teams make better decisions.

What You'll Be Doing

• Preparation of monthly management accounts
• Month-end close activities including journals, accruals and prepayments
• Balance sheet reconciliations
• Variance analysis and commentary for senior management
• Supporting budgeting and forecasting processes
• Working closely with operational teams to understand business performance
• Analysing margins, profitability and commercial performance
• Supporting stock accounting, stock reconciliations and inventory reporting
• Investigating stock variances and helping improve stock controls
• Producing KPI reporting and business performance analysis
• Assisting with year-end audit requirements
• Identifying opportunities to improve processes and reporting

What They're Looking For

• Previous experience in a Management Accountant or similar role
• Experience producing management accounts and month-end reporting
• Exposure to stock accounting or inventory-heavy environments would be advantageous
• Strong analytical skills with a commercial mindset
• Someone who enjoys getting into the detail and understanding what's behind the numbers
• Confident communicating with stakeholders outside of finance
• Positive attitude and willingness to learn

What You'll Get

• Salary up to £50,000
• Hybrid Working
• Annual Bonus
• Clear opportunities for progression as the business continues to grow
• Mentorship from an experienced Head of Finance
• Exposure to commercial decision-making and senior stakeholders
• Supportive, people-focused culture
• Genuine opportunity to develop your skills and broaden your experience

If you're looking for a role where you can develop beyond month-end reporting, gain commercial exposure and learn from an experienced finance leader, this could be well worth a conversation.
