Management Accountant

Description:

We’re looking for a sharp and ambitious Management Accountant to join the team and play a key role in supporting the core finance operations. You’ll work closely with both the VP of Finance and the Finance Lead, taking responsibility for monthly reporting while also contributing to process improvements as the company scales.

This is a brilliant opportunity for someone who trained in audit or accountancy practice and has since made their first move into industry (12–18 months ago) and is now looking to step into a more hands-on, high-growth setting that could be career defining.

Key Responsibilities:

• Ownership of the month-end process, including journals, accruals, prepayments, and reconciliations
• Prepare monthly management accounts and support on variance analysis and commentary
• Help build and evolve financial processes and controls, using Xero as the core system
• Support VAT returns, audit prep, and year-end statutory reporting
• Work closely with non-finance teams to provide insights and build out financial processes that scale
• Assist in reporting and financial modelling for board and investor updates
• Get involved in ad hoc finance projects tied to commercial and operational strategy

What we’re looking for (essential):

• ACA or ACCA or CIMA qualified (or equivalent)
• Trained in audit/practice (Top30 global practices preffered)
• 12–18 months of industry experience (ideally in a start-up or scale-up or within a company that have experienced significant growth)
• Strong technical grounding and attention to detail
• A proactive mindset and enjoyment for working in a dynamic environment
• Comfortable navigating ambiguity and happy to roll up your sleeves which is a must in the scaleup space.
• Exposure to Xero or similar cloud-based accounting software
