Company Summary
A well-established, PE-backed manufacturing business with a strong reputation for product quality is looking for an experienced Management Accountant to support financial operations as part of a growing team. The company operates in the UK and internationally and places a high value on bespoke solutions and customer satisfaction. As such they have been growing year on year and are confident of this continuing given their market-leading presence and opportunities for considerable growth in international markets.
Role Summary
As a Management Accountant, you'll play a key part in the monthly financial reporting cycle and broader group finance activity. You will take full responsibility for the UK entity monthly management accounts (P&L, Balance Sheet and Cashflow with insightful commentary), participate in the budget and forecast cycle, conduct variance analysis, manage the standard costing model and associated inventory, as well as pick up some statutory reporting and support with annual audits where needed.
