Management Accountant - Worcestershire

Our client is a recognised and successful family business who provide top-quality construction tools, site supplies and consumables across the UK. In support of their continued growth and market activity, we are seeking a dynamic and experienced Management Accountant who will be the day-to-day head of the finance department. This person will lead a team of five and report directly to the Managing Director.

This is not simply a month-end reporting job. The role is for someone who understands how a stock-intensive distribution business makes money, along with running a disciplined finance function and uses the numbers to help the management and senior leadership team, improve the business.

Based at their offices in Worcester, the Management Accountant will:

• Own the day-to-day finance function, including sales ledger, purchase ledger, debtor and creditor transactions, cash collection and supplier payments.
• Produce timely and accurate monthly management accounts, divisional and branch P&Ls and useful management information.
• Analyse sales, gross margin, EBITDA, costs and variances and explain what is really driving performance.
• Maintain strong control of debtors, creditors, stock and working capital, including debtor days, creditor days, stock turns and return on working capital.
• Own rolling cash-flow forecasting and coordinate annual budgets and forecasts.
• Provide customer, product and divisional profitability analysis and identify margin leakage.
• Support pricing, purchasing and operational decisions with clear commercial analysis.
• Improve NetSuite reporting, financial controls, process discipline and data quality.
• Support acquisitions, integration and other commercial or improvement projects when required.
• Lead, manage and develop the five-person finance team, setting clear standards and priorities.
