Management Accountant, Coventry-based, starts ASAP until December 2026. Your new company You will be working for a large construction company in Coventry. Your new role You will join a well-established construction business as part of the divisional finance team, where your focus will be on overheads rather than project accounting. Working closely with Heads of Department, you will play a key role in ensuring accurate and timely financial reporting, taking ownership of overhead analysis, cost control, and variance reporting to support informed decision-making. In this role, you will support the month-end process through the preparation of accruals, journals, and balance sheet reconciliations, while also contributing to the production of management accounts, audit requirements, and cash reporting. Alongside this, you will gain exposure to broader finance responsibilities, including supporting high-level CVR reporting, managing payables and sales ledger activities, and handling intercompany transactions. You will also have the opportunity to drive improvements in systems and processes within a fast-paced, contract-driven environment. What you'll need to succeed To succeed in this role, you will bring experience from a Management Accountant or similar position, ideally within the construction sector or a related industry. You will have a solid understanding of overhead management, month-end processes, and core accounting principles, enabling you to confidently deliver accurate financial information in a timely manner. You will be comfortable partnering with senior non-finance stakeholders, able to communicate financial insights clearly and challenge constructively where required. Strong Excel and systems skills are essential, alongside a proactive, hands-on approach and the ability to adapt quickly in a dynamic environment. You will be well-organised, capable of managing deadlines, and confident about working independently. Formal qualifications are not essential - candidates who are qualified by experience are encouraged to apply. What you'll get in return You will receive a competitive day rate and the ability to start ASAP. You will work 1 day per week at the Coventry office.
