If you've never worked in a manufacturing environment, this probably isn't the role for you.
This Ossett based business is looking for a Management Accountant to become a key part of its finance team. This isn't a reporting role where you'll disappear into spreadsheets all day. You'll be heavily involved with the operational side of the business, partnering with managers, supporting decision-making and taking ownership of a broad range of accounting responsibilities.
It's a role that offers genuine variety, visibility across the business and the opportunity to make a real impact.
