Management Accountant

With revenues in excess of $100 billion our client’s US parent company is a true global giant in its field.

Headquartered in Herefordshire but with operational facilities across the continent our client’s one billion European business supplies and processes products to retail, food service and manufacturing customers in European and world markets.

Success, growth and restructure necessitates the strengthening of the existing finance team of a sizeable Business Unit. As such the business seeks to recruit a high calibre Management Accountant.

Reporting directly to the Business Unit Financial Controller your responsibilities will be varied but will include:

• Providing high quality BU management information, analysis and insight - eg sales and margin analysis - to understand performance, identify opportunities and to drive sustainable growth, improvement and profitability.
• Participation and contribution in regular cross-functional business steering meetings, building strong working relationships with the commercial and operational teams.
• Preparing weekly and monthly management reporting packs to meet business needs.
• Forecasting and budgeting in line with business needs.
• Establishing and maintaining strong financial controls ensuring the integrity of the P&L and balance sheet.
• Evaluating capital expenditure proposals and conducting post-implementation reviews on major capex areas.
• Staff management potential.

Suitable candidates should bring a breadth of complementary qualifications, attributes and competencies. In particular:

• Qualified accountant is preferred, although not essential.
• Minimum three years - and likely more that that - experience acquired in a sizeable, fairly complex business. Manufacturing experience is advantageous but not essential.
• Management reporting experience and demonstrable experience of successfully supporting cross-functionally eg operations/commercial.
• Bright, highly capable team player with the potential to progress.

The successful candidate will possess the energy, personality and agility to succeed in this global organisation.

Offering a challenging, stimulating role with excellent further career opportunities this is an outstanding opportunity for an outstanding commercial finance professional.

Study support will be provided if appropriate.
