About the Role
<p><strong>Senior Management Accountant – £45,000 to £55,000 – Nottingham – Office Based</strong></p>
<p>Not every finance role is about stepping into a polished finance function. Some of the most rewarding opportunities come from helping build one.</p>
<p>We’re working exclusively with an established, project based business that is on a journey of improvement. An experienced Finance Director has joined with a clear vision for where the business needs to go and is now looking for an ambitious Senior Management Accountant to become their number two.</p>
<p>This is far more than a traditional management accounting role. You’ll work alongside the Finance Director, gaining exposure to the wider running of the finance function and playing an important part in shaping its future.</p>
<p>The expectation is that this role will develop with you. For the right person, it offers the chance to build the experience needed to take the next step into a more senior finance leadership position over the next two to three years.</p>
<p>If you’re ambitious, enjoy improving businesses and want to be recognised for making a genuine difference, this could be the opportunity you’ve been waiting for.</p>
<p><strong>The role</strong></p>
<p>This is a business in transition, so it’s only fair to be honest. There are challenges to tackle, processes to improve and a finance function that is still evolving.</p>
<p>Rather than inheriting a finished product, you’ll become a key part of building it.</p>
<p>Working closely with the Finance Director, you’ll be involved in:</p>
<ul>
<li>Producing monthly management accounts</li>
<li>Cash flow management and forecasting</li>
<li>Strengthening financial controls and reporting</li>
<li>Supporting commercial decision making</li>
<li>Improving finance processes across the business</li>
<li>Helping shape the future structure of the finance team</li>
</ul>
<p>This is a hands on role where you’ll be expected to roll your sleeves up and get involved in the detail while also contributing to the bigger picture.</p>
<p><strong>About you</strong></p>
<p>You’ll probably already be working as a Senior Management Accountant, Finance Manager or be an ambitious Management Accountant ready for the next step.</p>
<p>Experience within a project based, engineering, construction or subcontracting environment would be beneficial, although it’s certainly not essential.</p>
<p>More important is your mindset. We’re looking for someone who is:</p>
<ul>
<li>Resilient and enjoys a challenge</li>
<li>Hands on and technically strong</li>
<li>Ambitious and eager to keep developing</li>
<li>Someone who wants to improve processes, not simply maintain them</li>
</ul>
<p>If you’re looking for a role where you can genuinely influence a business, learn from an experienced Finance Director and accelerate your own career, I’d love to hear from you.</p>
