Job Description
Our client is an up-and-coming Manufacturing SME based in Sheffield looking for a talented Management Accountant to join in a newly created role. The business has experienced consistent growth over the past few years, driven by exploring new markets that continue to add to the business’s growth. The business has recently had some big investment into state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities at their Sheffield site which showcase their end-to-end facilities.
The Management Accountant will sit within the heart of Finance with an excellent Finance Director leading the way for the business to continue to grow, you will work alongside a handful of transactional finance team members and provide support to several commercial colleagues.
This role offers a perfect balance of reporting ownership and visibility, expansion into budgeting and forecasting territory and real value add through key manufacturing processes (including standard costing). In my opinion this is an incredibly well-rounded position that will set the successful candidate up nicely for what would be a Site Financial Controller position in a few years’ time.
What’s on offer:
* Salary between £50,000 - £55,000
* 25 days AL + 8 BH
* Option to purchase additional leave
* Life assurance
* Private Pension
Duties and responsibilities:
