Management Accountant
Manchester City Centre
£50,000 – £55,000 – Full suite of benefits & hybrid working
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a qualified Management Accountant to join a growing SME group based in the heart of Manchester. Reporting directly to the Head of Finance, this role has been created due to growth and offers the chance to play a key role in shaping the finance function.
You’ll take ownership of month-end reporting packs through to Board consolidation, supported by a strong team of Assistant Accountants. The role includes managing one direct report – someone currently studying and keen to develop – so this is an excellent opportunity if you’re looking to step into a leadership role and enjoy mentoring others.
The business has a turnover of c.£25m across three entities and continues to grow. With a strong focus on modern systems, all reporting and analysis is run through Power BI, and you’ll be central to ongoing projects to enhance and expand its use. Experience with Power BI is therefore essential, along with a proactive approach to driving process improvements through technology.
The ideal candidate:
1. Fully qualified accountant (essential).
2. At least 2 years’ experience producing full management accounts with commentary and variance analysis.
3. Confident with Power BI and keen to use technology to streamline reporting.
4. Interested in developing leadership skills and supporting junior team members.
Culturally, the business is dynamic, collaborative, and forward-thinking. The finance team is close-knit and high-performing, with a real emphasis on supporting each other and celebrating success together. Based in Manchester City Centre, they enjoy the buzz of a modern office environment, with regular team socials and a culture that balances professionalism with a friendly, inclusive atmosphere. It’s the kind of place where you’ll be challenged to do your best work, but also enjoy being part of the journey.
If you’re looking for a role that combines responsibility, career development, and exposure to modern systems, this opportunity offers exactly that.
