The Firm:
We’re working with a forward-thinking firm of Chartered Accountants who are carving out a strong reputation for delivering high-quality outsourced finance solutions. Operating as a modern and refreshingly down-to-earth business, they embrace flexibility, champion work-life balance, and enjoy early Friday finishes in their spacious, stylish offices. As they continue to experience strong growth—particularly in their outsourced Finance Director service—they are now looking to welcome a Management Accountant into their close-knit, high-performing team.

You’ll be responsible for preparing monthly management accounts across a variety of systems (Xero, Sage, QuickBooks, CCH, IRIS), analysing P&L and balance sheets, handling cash flow, budgeting, forecasting, and contributing to strategic discussions. There is regular liaison with business owners and senior stakeholders, so strong relationship-building skills are essential.
You’ll join a vibrant, sociable office where collaboration and personality are encouraged—music, conversation, and a shared sense of enjoyment at work are part of daily life.
