Job type: Permanent, full-time

Job description:

Macildowie are working with an established, owner-led retail business, based near Newark, to recruit a Management Accountant.

Its finance lead is moving into a wider role, so this new position will take ownership of the monthly management accounts. The current pack is simple, which gives the successful candidate real scope to develop it: adding detail, splitting out the numbers and making it more useful to the business. Over time, the role will also take on the financial accounts and year-end audit.

It's a small, hands-on team where everyone gets involved, so alongside month-end you'll pick up a varied mix of commercial and ad hoc work.

• Preparing the monthly management accounts

• Reviewing and developing the management accounts pack

• Posting month-end journals, including payroll, accruals and prepayments

• Reconciling payroll postings (payroll itself is run by HR)

• Checking supplier invoices for utilities, phones and IT, and resolving billing issues

• Supporting utility contract negotiations

• Experience producing monthly management accounts, including journals, accruals and prepayments

• Strong with numbers and confident improving a set of accounts, not just producing them

• Comfortable in a small team where finance gets involved in wider business tasks

• Looking for a long-term role with stability and the chance to grow

• Qualified by experience, part-qualified or studying candidates are all welcome

• Microsoft Dynamics experience is useful but not essential What's on offer

• £45,000 salary

• Ownership of a full set of management accounts

• Close support from an experienced finance lead

• Study support after probation

• A route into financial accounting, audit and further progression as the business grows
