Job Description

If you've never worked in a manufacturing environment, this probably isn't the role for you.

This Ossett based business is looking for a Management Accountant to become a key part of its finance team. This isn't a reporting role where you'll disappear into spreadsheets all day. You'll be heavily involved with the operational side of the business, partnering with managers, supporting decision-making and taking ownership of a broad range of accounting responsibilities.

It's a role that offers genuine variety, visibility across the business and the opportunity to make a real impact.

What you'll be doing:

You'll take ownership of the monthly management accounts process from start to finish, ensuring accurate and timely reporting while providing meaningful insight into business performance.

Your responsibilities will include:

  * Producing monthly consolidated management accounts

  * Stock reconciliations and stock movement accounting

  * Reviewing journals and balance sheet reconciliations

  * Variance analysis and commentary against budget and prior year

  * VAT returns and compliance reporting

  * Cashflow forecasting and longer-term financial planning

  * Supporting audits and year-end processes

  * Payroll preparation for approximately 110 employees

  * Business partnering with operational and budget managers

  * Producing ad hoc financial analysis and management reports

  * Supporting and developing a junior member of the finance team

  * Acting as a key user of the company's ERP system

What they're looking for:

You'll need previous experience working within a manufacturing environment and a strong understanding of stock accounting and inventory controls. That's not a nice-to-have; it's essential.

Beyond that, they're looking for someone who:

  * Has experience producing management accounts from start to finish

  * Understands balance sheet control and month-end processes

  * Enjoys analysing numbers and explaining the story behind them

  * Can build strong relationships with non-finance stakeholders

  * Is comfortable working in a hands-on, fast-paced environment

  * Is studying towards, fully qualified, or qualified by experience

What’s in it for you?

  * An annual salary of up to £45k DOE (+ study support if required)

  * 23 days annual leave + your birthday off + bank holidays (with the option to buy more)

  * Medicash plan
