Management Accountant (12-Month FTC)
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
