Job Description:
Management Accountant required for a well-established, evolving business based in Basingstoke (Hybrid working)
£55,000 – £65,000 + bonus and benefits, depending on experience
Stanton House are partnering with a successful UK-based organisation undergoing a period of operational transformation and financial optimisation. The business operates within a highly recognisable sector and is investing in strengthening its core finance capabilities to support continued growth, improved controls, and enhanced performance insight.
As Management Accountant, you will play a pivotal role in delivering accurate and timely financial reporting, supporting operational finance processes, and driving process improvements. This role is ideal for a technically strong, detail-oriented individual who thrives in a collaborative environment and has experience managing both recurring finance operations and ad hoc analysis.
You will oversee the month-end close process, manage a range of balance sheet reconciliations, and help build a robust financial control environment.
This is a fantastic opportunity to join a stable but forward-thinking finance function where you’ll take ownership of key processes and be given the freedom to add value and influence change.
Key Requirements:
* Qualified or part-qualified accountant (ACA / ACCA / CIMA) or QBE, with strong technical accounting knowledge
* Demonstrable experience in management accounting, month-end processes, and financial reporting
* Confident in handling complex reconciliations and financial controls
* Experience with ERP systems such as Sage 200, SAP, NAV, or similar
* Proficient in Excel, with the ability to interpret and manipulate data
* Excellent interpersonal skills with the ability to communicate effectively across finance and non-finance stakeholders
* Self-motivated, organised, and able to manage competing priorities in a fast-paced environment
* Previous experience managing or supporting a small team is desirable
Key Responsibilities:
* Lead and deliver the monthly management accounts process, including journal posting, accruals, and reconciliations
* Manage financial reporting cycles, ensuring accuracy, completeness, and alignment with group policies
* Perform regular control checks on financial postings and maintain a strong internal control framework
* Support payroll input and the end-to-end purchase/sales ledger process
* Liaise with external suppliers and ensure timely vendor payments and customer invoicing
* Drive continuous improvement across financial processes and systems
* Assist with audit preparation and compliance with statutory, regulatory, and internal requirements
* Support business stakeholders with financial queries and help interpret financial data to drive decision-making
