A growing design and production group is seeking to hire a newly created Management Accountant to take ownership of the management accounts production with particular emphasis on revenue, commercial project analysis, forecasting and budget control. The key accountabilities will be:
  • Produce Management Accounts for review by the Finance Director
  • Develop, produce and issue regular, meaningful Revenue and margin reports
  • Attend weekly revenue meetings to review variances and contra charges
  • Manage Revenue Recognition to calculate Monthly Gross Margin
  • Oversee debtor management, working with the Assistant Accountant to maximise collections
  • Develop reporting to monitor debtor days more accurately
  • Maintain and publish cost reports monthly
  • Revenue and Cost forecasting, producing Project Cash Flows
  • Assisting with statutory accounts, audit and tax work
The role will suit a qualified (or QBE) accountant with relevant experience within the design, construction or a project related business. Exposure to taking ownership of the monthly management accounts process is essential with a decisive, adaptable, but not dogmatic approach. You will be task focussed, a starter-finisher and the ability to deliver timely, high quality accurate information. It is small team and so you will need to be a good team player, willing to carry out all levels of the monthly accounting processes but with the commercial aptitude to understand the broader picture of business operations beyond finance. Excellent benefits package.
