Management Accountant | Leeds | Up to £50,000 DOE
\n\nThis is a business that's growing for the right reasons. Sales are increasing, operations are expanding, and they're looking for a Management Accountant who wants to do more than produce month-end reports and move on to the next deadline.
\nReporting directly to an experienced Head of Finance, you'll join a finance team where people are encouraged to ask questions, understand the wider business, and contribute ideas. The Head of Finance is genuinely invested in developing their team, making this a strong opportunity for someone looking to progress their career over the next few years.

\n\nWhy This Role Exists
\nFinance plays a key role in decision-making across the business, and they need someone who wants to be proactive rather than purely reactive.

- Identifying opportunities to improve processes and reporting \n
What They're Looking For

- Previous experience in a Management Accountant or similar role \n
- Experience producing management accounts and month-end reporting \n
- Exposure to stock accounting or inventory-heavy environments would be advantageous \n
- Strong analytical skills with a commercial mindset \n
- Someone who enjoys getting into the detail and understanding what's behind the numbers \n
- Confident communicating with stakeholders outside of finance \n
- Positive attitude and willingness to learn \n

- Clear opportunities for progression as the business continues to grow \n
- Mentorship from an experienced Head of Finance \n
- Exposure to commercial decision-making and senior stakeholders \n
- Supportive, people-focused culture \n
- Genuine opportunity to develop your skills and broaden your experience \n
If you're looking for a role where you can develop beyond month-end reporting, gain commercial exposure and learn from an experienced finance leader, this could be well worth a conversation.
