Job Description
Management Accountant
Nottingham City Centre
5 Days On Site
Up to £35,000
A fast-growing Nottingham business is looking for an all-round Management Accountant to become the Finance Director's right hand. You'll take on real responsibility from the start, and your progression will be driven by results, with a promotion and pay review on the table as soon as you hit agreed goals.
The Role
This is a broad, hands-on position in a lean finance team, reporting directly to the FD. You'll lead month-end, produce the monthly board reporting and look after payroll, credit control and cash. With no layers of hierarchy, you'll see how the business runs at a senior level and have the freedom to improve the way the finance function works.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead the full monthly close, working with the FD to tighten the timetable from 4–5 days to 4
- Post journals, accruals and prepayments, and complete balance sheet reconciliations
- Produce the monthly board pack by working day 5, including variance analysis and written commentary explaining the numbers
- Review month-end processes and put forward practical improvements
- Process payroll, including salaries and sales commission
- Handle weekly invoicing and supplier payments
- Take ownership of credit control, keeping overdue debt under control
- Help the FD track weekly cash flow and plan payments
- Work with colleagues across a sales-led business, including queries on spend and expenses
What We're Looking For
- Part-qualified CIMA or ACCA
- Exposure to month-end close
- Previous credit control experience, or a willingness to take it on.
- Confidence working directly with a senior finance lead in a small team
- Good organisation under deadline pressure
Benefits
- Personal milestones agreed from your first day, such as bringing overdue debt down or fully owning a process
- Hit them and you'll get a promotion and pay review, with no minimum time in role (past hires have stepped up within 2–4 months)
- Study support towards your qualification
- Exposure to board-level reporting early in your career
- 25 days' holiday plus bank holidays
- Company pension
Salary & Location
