Senior Management Accountant Leeds (Hybrid) £45,000 - £55,000
This isn't a "sit back and report the numbers" kind of role.
It's a hands-on position in a business that's grown quickly, become more complex, and now needs someone who can bring control, clarity, and credibility to the finance function.
You’ll be stepping into an international entity that’s recently gone through significant change following a major integration. The foundations are there – but the pace is high, the deadlines are tight, and the expectations from senior stakeholders are even higher.
If you like being in the middle of it – solving problems, improving processes and making the numbers make sense – this will suit you.
What you’ll be doing:
You’ll take ownership of this entity from a finance perspective, working closely with the European Finance team and senior leadership. That means:
* Owning the monthly management accounts from end to end
* Leading cash‑flow forecasting and giving stakeholders real visibility
* Managing inter‑company reporting and reconciliations
* Delivering WIP reporting and supporting commercial reviews
* Supporting budgets and forecasts across the business
* Handling ongoing integration challenges and improving reporting processes
* Acting as a key point of contact for senior stakeholders
* Driving better ways of working – systems, processes and controls
This is a role where you’ll need to get into the detail, but also step back and see the bigger picture.
What they’re looking for:
Someone who can handle responsibility, pressure and expectations without needing hand‑holding. You’ll likely be:
* ACA / ACCA / CIMA qualified (or strong QBE)
* Used to working in fast‑paced, deadline‑driven environments
* Confident dealing with senior stakeholders
* Comfortable working in a standalone role
* Strong across reporting, cash‑flow and reconciliations
* Someone who can deal with ambiguity, fix problems and keep things moving
You don’t need international accounting experience – strong management accounting fundamentals matter more.
Why this role stands out:
* Real ownership – you’ll run the numbers for an international entity
* High visibility – direct exposure to senior leadership
* Progression – clear route into a Finance Manager role
* Variety – no two months will look the same
* Impact – you’ll help shape how finance operates going forward
What’s in it for you?
* £45,000 – £55,000 per annum
* Flexible hybrid working
* Annual salary reviews
* Strong long‑term development opportunities
