If you're wondering what the next step looks like, this could be it.

Maybe you've just finished university, started your AAT, you're thinking about CIMA or ACCA, or you've already dipped your toe into month-end work and want more responsibility. Whatever stage you're at, this is a business that will give you the opportunity to learn, develop and build a long-term career in finance.

You'll join a well-established business that's continuing to grow, working alongside experienced finance professionals who'll support your development rather than leave you to figure it out on your own.

This isn't a role where you'll spend every day processing invoices. You'll be involved in producing management accounts, analysing performance and helping the business make better financial decisions.


What you'll be doing:

  • Assisting with the preparation of monthly management accounts
  • Supporting the month-end process, including journals, accruals and prepayments
  • Preparing balance sheet reconciliations and investigating variances
  • Assisting with budgeting and forecasting
  • Producing financial analysis and management reports
  • Supporting weekly and monthly KPI reporting
  • Reconciling bank accounts and key control accounts
  • Maintaining the fixed asset register
  • Assisting with year-end audit preparation
  • Working with operational teams to improve reporting and financial understanding
  • Identifying opportunities to improve finance processes and controls
  • Producing ad hoc reports and analysis as required


What are they looking for?

  • A recent graduate or experience working in an office environment
  • Someone studying, or keen to study, AAT, CIMA, ACCA or ACA
  • Strong attention to detail with an analytical mindset
  • A proactive approach and willingness to learn
  • Someone who enjoys working as part of a team and can manage multiple deadlines


What's in it for you?

  • Salary up to £30,000, depending on experience
  • Study support towards AAT, CIMA, ACCA or ACA
  • Enhanced holiday allowance, increasing with service
  • Life assurance


If you're looking for a role that will move you beyond transactional finance and give you the opportunity to become a well-rounded management accountant, this is well worth a conversation.
