The Opportunity

Are you looking to build your experience within management accounts and take the next step in your finance career?
We are recruiting an Assistant Management Accountant to join an established finance team, offering an excellent opportunity for someone with a solid grounding in finance who is keen to broaden their experience and develop further within management accounting.

You may already have some exposure to management accounts, or perhaps you’re currently working in a Finance Assistant position and are ready to take on more responsibility. Either way, attitude, aptitude and a willingness to learn will be just as important as your current job title.

The Role:

Working as part of the wider finance team, your responsibilities will include:

Supporting the preparation of management accounts
Preparing and posting accruals and prepayments
Supporting cash flow forecasting
Assisting with rent and service charge accounting
Providing finance support relating to development activity
Supporting disposals accounting entries
Working extensively with Excel and financial spreadsheets
Providing wider support across the finance function as required

About You:

We’re looking for someone with a strong foundation in finance and accounting, ideally gained through at least 12 months’ experience within a busy finance environment.

You’ll ideally bring:

Some exposure to management accounts preparation
A good understanding of core accounting principles, including debits and credits, accruals and prepayments
Strong Excel skills
Good attention to detail and a methodical approach
A positive attitude and willingness to learn
The ability to work effectively as part of a busy finance team

AAT or studying towards AAT would be beneficial but is not essential. We are equally interested in candidates who can demonstrate the right accounting fundamentals and the potential to step up and develop.

Why Apply?

This is a great opportunity for someone looking to develop their management accounting experience within a supportive finance environment.

The position offers hybrid working, with three days per week in the office, alongside the opportunity to gain broader exposure across management accounts and other areas of finance.

If you’re looking for a role where you can build on your existing finance experience and continue progressing your career, we’d be keen to hear from you.
