Management Accountant
Skelmersdale
£40,000 - £45,000 + study support
We're on the lookout for a Management Accountant who's just as comfortable digging into the detail as they are stepping back to see the bigger picture. This isn't a 'sit quietly with spreadsheets' kind of role - their world is fast-paced, sometimes a little chaotic, but always rewarding. If you thrive under pressure, don't mind rolling your sleeves up, and actually enjoy making sense of the numbers in a demanding logistics environment, then you'll fit right in.
What You'll Be Doing:
Owning the month-end process - from management accounts to variance analysis.
Partnering with operations and commercial teams to turn financial data into actionable insights.
Forecasting and budgeting - helping them keep the wheels turning smoothly.
Identifying cost efficiencies and opportunities to improve margins
Getting involved in projects that go beyond 'just finance' - there a team, and everyone pitches in.
What We're Looking For:
A qualified or part-qualified accountant (CIMA/ACCA/ACA) - or equivalent experience.
Solid management accounting background, ideally with exposure to logistics, transport, or supply chain.
Someone who stays calm when things get hectic
Strong Excel and systems skills - because data is only as good as the person handling it.
A proactive problem-solver who doesn't wait to be told what to do.
Why You'll Love It Here:
Every day is different - you'll never be clock-watching.
You'll work alongside a down-to-earth team who support each other.
Plenty of scope to make an impact and grow your career.
If you feel like this role sounds like a bit of you. We would love to catch up and discuss further!
