Assistant Management Accountant

Hybrid Working Study Support Excellent Benefits Career Development

Are you an ambitious Assistant Management Accountant looking for a role where you can take ownership, broaden your experience and play a genuine part in a growing business?

Our client is a dynamic, PE-backed technology business with ambitious growth plans and an exciting future ahead. As the company continues to expand, they are strengthening their finance function and are looking for a talented Assistant Management Accountant to join their fast-paced, collaborative team.

This is an excellent opportunity for a part-qualified accountant or someone actively studying towards ACCA or CIMA who wants more than just a processing role. You'll gain broad exposure across management accounts, month-end, balance sheet control, reconciliations, reporting and wider finance projects, while working closely with senior finance colleagues and stakeholders across the business.

The Role

Reporting into the Finance Manager, you'll take ownership of a broad range of accounting responsibilities and become an important member of the finance team. Your responsibilities will include:

Assisting with the preparation of monthly management accounts, including P&L and balance sheet reporting.
Taking ownership of weekly bank reconciliations and investigating any discrepancies.
Managing balance sheet accounts and performing key system control reconciliations.
Preparing and processing payments through the banking platform and allocating transactions within NetSuite.
Completing credit card and travel expense reconciliations.
Supporting the full month-end close process, including fixed assets, prepayments and other accounting adjustments.
Working closely with the Accounts Payable team and acting as a key point of contact between AP and other areas of Finance.
Completing payroll and employee benefit reconciliations.
Supporting the Finance Manager with reporting, tax filings and other statutory requirements.
Assisting with year-end and audit activities throughout the year.
Identifying discrepancies, investigating issues and helping to improve finance processes and controls.
Working with colleagues across the wider business to ensure accurate and timely financial information.
Taking ownership of your responsibilities while contributing to wider finance projects as the business continues to grow.

What They Are Looking For:

They are looking for someone who is commercially minded, inquisitive and keen to develop. You should enjoy getting into the details but also want to understand the bigger picture and how finance supports the wider business. Ideally, you will have:

At least one year's experience in a similar Assistant Management Accountant or management accounting role.
Experience of working with multi-currency and/or multi-company accounts, ideally within a fast-paced corporate environment.
Experience within the technology sector would be advantageous.
A graduate background and be part-qualified or actively studying towards ACCA or CIMA.
Good knowledge of month-end reporting, with a strong understanding of P&L and balance sheet accounting.
Excellent Excel skills and strong analytical and numerical ability.
Experience of working with an ERP system; NetSuite experience would be advantageous, although other major ERP systems will be considered.
Excellent attention to detail and a high level of accuracy.
Strong organisation skills and the ability to manage competing priorities and meet deadlines.
The confidence to communicate effectively with colleagues at all levels, including non-finance stakeholders.
A proactive, hands-on approach with the initiative to identify problems and suggest improvements.
The ability to work independently and take ownership, while also enjoying being part of a friendly and collaborative finance team.

Why Join?

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a high-growth, PE-backed technology business at an exciting stage of its journey.

You'll have the opportunity to develop your technical accounting skills, gain wider commercial exposure and work closely with experienced finance professionals. With study support, hybrid working and a strong benefits package, this is a role designed for someone who wants to build their career rather than simply move into another job.

If you're ambitious, commercially curious and ready to take the next step in your accounting career, this could be the opportunity you've been waiting for.

After a qualifying period, the company will offer a comprehensive study support package, outstanding benefits and an excellent career development opportunity.
