Management Accountant
Colby River Property Management | Altrincham
Build your finance career in a growing property business
We’re looking for a commercially minded Management Accountant to join the Colby River Property Management finance team in Altrincham.
This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys getting beyond the numbers. You’ll take ownership of management accounts across a portfolio of properties, work closely with operational teams and provide the financial insight that helps us understand performance, control costs and make better commercial decisions.
Reporting directly to the Finance Director, you’ll have plenty of exposure across the business and the opportunity to influence how we develop our financial reporting, systems and processes.
What you’ll be doing
You’ll play an important role in the financial management of our property portfolio, with responsibilities including:
- Preparing monthly management accounts across multiple sites, including P&L, balance sheet, cashflow and commentary
- Managing balance sheet reconciliations, accruals, prepayments and provisions
- Supporting annual budgets and regular forecasting
- Working closely with operational and on-site teams to understand performance against budget
- Identifying variances, risks and opportunities and helping the business take appropriate action
- Maintaining strong financial controls and governance
- Supporting year-end audit, statutory accounts and internal reviews
- Translating financial information into clear, useful insight for non-finance colleagues
- Providing ad-hoc analysis to support senior management decision-making
- Helping us continually improve our financial reporting, systems and processes
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What we’re looking for
We’re open-minded about your route into accounting. You could be AAT qualified, CIMA/ACCA part-qualified, fully qualified (CIMA, ACCA or ACA), or qualified by experience.
Ideally, you’ll already have experience as a Management Accountant or Assistant Management Accountant, with property or property management experience particularly welcome.
Why join Colby River?
This isn't a role where you'll simply produce a set of accounts and move on to the next month-end.
You'll work closely with our Finance Director, accounts team, central operations and teams based at our properties, giving you genuine exposure to both the financial and operational sides of the business.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
It's an opportunity to develop your commercial finance experience, build strong relationships across the organisation and have a real influence on how our properties perform.
The role is based in Altrincham, with our hybrid working policy requiring at least three days per week in the office. There may also be occasional travel to our properties and London office, expected to be less than 10% of the role.
If you're an ambitious Management Accountant — or an Assistant Management Accountant ready to take the next step — and want a role where you can combine strong technical accounting with genuine commercial involvement, we'd love to hear from you.

- Salary Range £46,000 - £50,000 depending on experience
- Annual discretionary bonus
- Employer-matched pension scheme
- Life insurance at three times your annual salary
