Leicester – Office Based
£35,000 – £40,000 (depending on experience)
We're recruiting on behalf of a well-established professional services business
Our client is a highly regarded, growing organisation with a strong reputation and long-standing client relationships. They are now looking to appoint a hands-on Management Accountant to support the finance function during a period of maternity cover.
A hands-on role with real ownership
This isn't a role where you sit above the numbers — you'll be right in them.
If you enjoy producing management accounts and getting stuck into the day-to-day detail, this is a genuinely varied role where you'll take ownership of month-end while remaining hands-on across the finance function.
The Role
As Management Accountant, you'll be responsible for producing monthly management accounts up to review, alongside delivering transactional finance tasks.
Key responsibilities include:
* Preparing monthly management accounts (accruals, prepayments, journals)
* Completing full balance sheet reconciliations (including intercompany and fixed assets)
* Supporting VAT returns and reporting
* Producing reports and contributing to the monthly business pack
* Processing purchase and sales invoices
* Carrying out bank, purchase ledger, and sales ledger reconciliations
* Supporting payroll processes (training provided if needed)
* Assisting with audits and wider finance tasks
About You
You might be:
* A Management Accountant in a smaller business
* An Assistant Management Accountant ready to step up
* A Senior Accounts Assistant already producing management accounts
What matters is your ability to balance month-end responsibility with hands-on finance work.
We're looking for someone who:
* Can produce management accounts to review stage
* Is comfortable processing and reconciling transactions
* Enjoys working in a small, collaborative team
* Has strong attention to detail and takes ownership
* Is confident using Excel (Sage helpful, not essential)
Qualifications are not essential – AAT, part-qualified, or QBE all considered.
Why Apply?
* True end-to-end finance exposure
* A role where you'll do the work, not just review it
* Stable, well-established business environment
* Great opportunity to step up or broaden your experience
