Management Accountant - #2089589
Headstar
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.
