The Role

We are seeking an experienced Management Accountant to join a well-established and busy finance team.

This is a hands-on, commercially focused role with full responsibility for specific business divisions, working closely with divisional directors and senior stakeholders across the organisation.

You will need to be confident operating autonomously, able to manage competing priorities, and comfortable challenging and supporting non-finance teams where required.

This role requires someone who can see where improvements are needed and proactively step in with practical solutions.

  • Preparation of monthly management accounts, including P&L and balance sheet reconciliations
  • Supporting basic tax and year-end financial reporting
  • Working with divisional directors to build budgets and financial forecasts
  • Collating and preparing information for board reporting and ad hoc analysis
  • Providing financial insight to support commercial decision-making
  • Liaising with internal stakeholders across finance, operations, and commercial teams
  • Supporting wider finance team activity where required

About You

We are open to a range of experience levels, but the ideal candidate will likely be:

  • Qualified, part-qualified (CIMA / ACCA), or qualified by experience
  • Strong in Excel and confident working with financial data
  • Comfortable working in a multi-division or multi-project environment (media/events experience advantageous but not essential)
  • Experienced in producing management accounts independently
  • Confident communicating with senior stakeholders and non-finance teams
  • Highly organised, able to prioritise and work to strict monthly deadlines
  • Calm under pressure with strong attention to detail

Knowledge of Sage 200 would be beneficial but not essential.

What’s on Offer

  • Competitive salary
  • 25 days annual leave
  • Birthday day off (plus gift and cake)
  • Enhanced maternity and paternity leave
  • Workplace pension
  • Two company-wide events annually (Summer and Christmas)
  • Social, supportive and energetic team culture
  • Exposure to a creative, fast-moving business environment
