Progression to Financial Controller
Are you a Management Accountant looking for genuine progression, not just a title change on paper?
This is an opportunity to join a well-established SME in the Newark area with a £6m turnover, working closely with an experienced Finance Controller and Operations Director in a hands-on, commercially focused finance environment.
The business operates across multiple divisions including engineering projects, maintenance services, and product sales – meaning no two days in finance are the same.
You’ll be stepping into a key role supporting the finance function day-to-day, with a clear development pathway into Senior Management Accountant and then Financial Controller.
What you’ll be doing:
You’ll be fully involved in all areas of the finance function, including:
* Sales and purchase ledger management
* Bank reconciliations and cash postings
* Expenses processing and general bookkeeping
* Supporting month-end processes including accruals and prepayments
* Assisting with management accounts preparation
* Maintaining the fixed asset register
* Working across a Sage 50 environment and an in-house order processing system
This is a “hands-on” role – ideal for someone who enjoys being close to the detail but also wants exposure to the wider commercial picture.
What we’re looking for:
* Experience in a Management Accountant / Assistant Management Accountant role
* Strong understanding of core accounting processes and month-end
* Confident working in SME environments where flexibility is key
* Experience with Sage 50 (or similar accounting systems)
* Someone ambitious who wants a clear route into a Financial Controller position
Benefits:
* 25 days holiday plus Bank Holidays
* Free on-site parking
* Electric vehicle charging points
* Healthcare scheme
* Stable, supportive SME environment with long-term career development
If you’re looking for a role where you can genuinely step up, take ownership, and progress quickly into a senior leadership finance position, this could be the move you’ve been waiting for
