Management Accountant

The Opportunity:

I have a fantastic new opportunity for a Management Accountant to join a Private Equity-backed IT consultancy.

This business has recently welcomed a new CFO to their brand-new offices in Central London after receiving their first round of PE investment. They now need a versatile Management Accountant to join their fast-growing finance function. Excellent communication skills are a must-have as you will have broad exposure to key stakeholders, so it's a fantastic opportunity for an ambitious Management Accountant looking to advance their career.

The minimum requirement is for 6 months, however there is potential for this role to transition into permanency.

The role:

The objective is to improve the management accounts in line with the standards of the new PE house.  Assistance is needed to:

• Reduce time taken to complete month end
• Prepare the monthly board pack
• Automate processes wherever possible
• Prepare balance sheet reconciliations
• Complete forecasting and budgeting
• Complete ad-hoc analysis and commentary
• Provide direct support to the FC and CFO

The requirements:

• ACA/ACCA/CIMA (or equivalent) qualified
• Industry experience is advantageous but not essential. I'm open to discussing this opportunity to candidates straight out of practice.
• Excellent communication skills - both written and verbal
• Exposure to Private Equity-backed or very high growth businesses is also highly advantageous (for those straight out of practice, relevant audit clients would be great)
• Experience within SMEs

The client is looking to interview this week, so I can only consider applicants with up to 2 weeks' notice.
