Management Accountant (Part Qualified)
Trafford Park, Manchester | Hybrid (3 office / 2 WFH)
Competitive salary + study support & benefits
This role is best suited to candidates in the early stages of studying (AAT Level 4 / early ACCA or CIMA), rather than finalists or qualified accountants.
About the role
We're looking for a part-qualified Management Accountant to join our UK finance team. This is a hands‑on role with real ownership, designed for someone actively studying towards ACCA, CIMA or ACA, and wanting to develop strong technical foundations within a supportive, people-focused finance function.
Reporting into the Financial Reporting Manager, you'll take ownership of key areas of month‑end, compliance preparation, and weekly management reporting, while also mentoring an Assistant Management Accountant.
This is a hybrid role based at our Trafford Park office, with flexibility to work from home two days per week.
Overview of the role
* Owning key areas of month‑end close and balance sheet control
* Preparing compliance data (VAT, PAYE, Corporation Tax)
* Producing and delivering weekly gross margin reports
* Improving finance processes and supporting ad‑hoc projects
* Mentoring and supporting an Assistant Management Accountant
About you
* Actively studying towards ACCA, CIMA, or ACA.
* Previous experience in a management accounting, assistant management accountant, or similar finance role.
* Confident using Excel for reconciliations and reporting (experience with Power Query is a plus, but not essential).
* Strong attention to detail, with a genuine sense of ownership over your work.
* Comfortable explaining numbers to finance and non‑finance colleagues and responding to ad‑hoc questions.
* Organised, reliable, and able to work to tight deadlines – particularly around month‑end and weekly reporting cycles.
What's in it for you
* Competitive salary, depending on experience
* Study support for professional accounting qualifications
* Hybrid working (2 days from home)
* Pension scheme
* 24/7 online GP access
* Wellbeing support through our Employee Assistance Programme
* Structured onboarding, mentoring, and ongoing professional development
* A collaborative, values‑driven culture where your contribution is recognised
Thank you for considering a career with us.
