A leading hospitality business is looking for an interim Management Accountant to join their team on an interim basis. You will play a pivotal role in supporting the team during a period of exciting growth.
You'll be responsible for providing essential month-end support that includes detailed sales analysis and weekly reporting to closely monitor performance against targets and identify emerging trends. A core responsibility involves preparing regular reporting packs for sales and labour, delivering insightful commentary and critical variance analysis against both budget and forecast. Crucially, you'll develop tailored reporting packs for key stakeholders, ensuring relevant financial intelligence and actionable recommendations are effectively communicated to inform strategic decision-making. The role also encompasses leading ad hoc projects and financial modelling to analyze specific business aspects like product profitability, the effectiveness of promotional campaigns, or potential new business ventures. Furthermore, you will be a key driver in the budgeting and forecasting processes, collaborating across various departments to build robust financial plans and reforecasts. This requires a mixed reporting approach, adeptly combining raw financial data with vital commercial context to pinpoint business improvement opportunities, drive margin enhancements, and support optimal return on investment.
The ideal candidate will be a part qualified or qualified accountant (ACA/ACCA/CIMA/CAANZ) or equivalent, and must have experience within the hospitality industry. You must be immediately available for this role.
