Job description

Assistant Management Accountant

Stockport Area £35,000 6-month contract Hybrid

We're recruiting for a growing, family-owned business in the Stockport area looking for an experienced Assistant Management Accountant to support its day-to-day finance function.

This is a newly created role being introduced initially on a six-month contract, giving the business an opportunity to establish what the longer-term finance structure should look like.

As the company grows, they now need someone capable of taking greater ownership of management accounting, cashflow and financial controls, while helping bring more structure and discipline into the finance function.

You'll work closely with the MD alongside a Finance Assistant and Office Administrator.

The role

Responsibilities will include:

Supporting the preparation of monthly management accounts
Daily cashflow management and forecasting
Journals, accruals and prepayments
Balance sheet reconciliations and variance analysis
Supporting budgeting and forecasting
Assisting with month-end and year-end
Maintaining accurate financial records and improving processes
Liaising with external accountants and supporting audit requirements
Providing ad-hoc analysis to support commercial decisions

Who we're looking for

Ideally you'll be ACCA or CIMA qualified or part-qualified, although strong relevant experience will be considered.

More importantly, you'll need to be:

Hands-on and comfortable getting into the detail
Confident working independently
Commercial and pragmatic
Comfortable improving processes rather than inheriting a finished finance function
Down to earth and able to work effectively within a family-owned SME
Adaptable and comfortable working within a business that is going through a period of transition

Package

Up to £35,000 Benefits include 25 days' holiday plus bank holidays, pension and additional employee benefits.
