Job Description

Anderson Knight is proud to partner with our client to recruit a Management Accountant to join their Operational Finance team in Glasgow.

This is an excellent opportunity for a motivated finance professional to join a growing and fast-paced organisation where you will play a key role in supporting the financial performance of the business. The role will have a broad remit, covering management accounts, reporting, forecasting, reconciliations and financial analysis, while also providing opportunities to contribute to wider finance projects and process improvements.

Working closely with colleagues across Finance and the wider business, you will provide accurate and meaningful financial information to support decision-making. The successful candidate will be comfortable working in a changing commercial environment and will be able to build strong, constructive relationships with operational colleagues while maintaining a high level of professional and financial rigour.

Key Responsibilities
• Prepare accurate and timely monthly management accounts for designated business areas, ensuring reporting deadlines are consistently met.
• Produce monthly reporting packs, including relevant KPIs and clear variance analysis against budget, forecast and prior year.
• Prepare and maintain monthly balance sheet reconciliations, ensuring financial information is complete, accurate and supported by appropriate documentation.
• Review and reconcile revenue and expenditure, investigating underlying movements and ensuring compliance with relevant accounting policies and IFRS requirements.
• Analyse overhead expenditure, payroll costs and headcount movements, identifying key variances, trends and areas requiring further investigation.
• Take ownership of cost forecasting and support the wider budgeting and forecasting process by providing robust financial data, assumptions and analysis.
• Develop, maintain and improve financial models to support forecasting, reporting and business planning.
• Ensure the accuracy, completeness and integrity of financial records, controls and reporting processes.
• Identify opportunities to improve finance processes, strengthen controls and drive greater consistency and efficiency across the finance function.
• Support internal and external audits by providing accurate information, supporting documentation and explanations as required.
• Provide financial analysis and support on ad hoc projects, helping the wider business make informed commercial decisions.

About You
• Part-qualified, finalist or fully qualified accountant status, such as ACCA, CIMA, ICAS or equivalent.
• Strong management accounting experience, including month-end reporting, reconciliations, budgeting and forecasting.
• Advanced Excel skills, with the ability to build, maintain and enhance financial models and reporting tools.
• Strong analytical skills and the ability to investigate variances, identify trends and draw meaningful conclusions from financial data.
• Excellent attention to detail and a commitment to producing accurate, high-quality financial information.
• A proactive and solutions-focused approach, with a genuine interest in improving processes and ways of working.
• The ability to manage multiple priorities effectively and work to tight deadlines, particularly around month-end.
• Strong organisational skills, with the ability to work independently while contributing effectively as part of a wider team.

In exchange the client offers a hybrid working arrangement, study support both financial and training and an opportunity to excel and grow in your role.
