Management Accountant

A dynamic and exciting publishing company are looking to hire a Management Accountant on a 12 month fixed term contract. The job has arisen due to my client's remarkable growth over the last 18 months (including winning several new contracts). This role has the potential to offer long term opportunities dependent on the success of the assignment. The company are growing at a rapid rate so there are various progression opportunities after the initial 12 months.

My client has a preference for candidates who are pursuing an accountancy qualification, i.e. ACCA or CIMA. Candidates should have 3-5 years relevant finance experience within a fast paced environment.

Key Duties include:

• Balance sheet reconciliations
• Profit and loss analysis
• Variance analysis
• Budgeting and forecasting
• Producing statutory accounts
• Accruals and prepayments and reviewing the financial control process.
• You must be able to investigate anomalies with general ledger codes and be able to explain the reasons for the difference.

Adhoc Duties

• Comfortable doing transactional duties, i.e. maintaining the accounts payable function
• Bank reconciliations
• Cash management and maintaining the fixed asset register

Requirements

• There is a significant amount of Excel use in the role, so candidates should be confident building pivot tables and v-look ups from scratch. Exposure to macros would be advantageous.
• Experience with SAP would also be beneficial
