MANAGEMENT ACCOUNTANT
LONDON - 3 DAYS IN THE OFFICE, 2 FROM HOME - PERMANENT - PRIVATE EQUITY BACKED ASSET OWNER BUYING ACROSS EUROPE AND AUSTRALIA
£45,000 - £50,000 + bonus + benefits
Are you a management accountant who likes owning one number properly? Do you take quiet satisfaction in work papers that tie, month after month?
We Do Group are hiring a Management Accountant into the UK finance team of a private equity backed business that owns and leases assets across the UK, Ireland and mainland Europe.
This is the gross margin role, so it sits on top of where the actual value of the business is made. High volume, detailed, and genuinely important. The person before you spent their time cleaning up the work papers, which means you inherit a tidy base rather than a mess, and your job is to take it a layer deeper.
There's also a new asset management system landing next year, and whoever holds this seat will be central to moving gross margin reporting across to it.
WISH LIST
- Two to three years in a management accounting role, part way through your ACCA or CIMA studies, or qualified by experience who enjoys operating at this level
- Genuinely quick in Excel. Large data sets, pivots, lookups, no hand-holding needed
- Detail-driven to the point where it bothers you when a process isn't followed properly
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.
THE ROLE
- Own the gross margin numbers end to end, month in month out
- Prepare and review the gross margin work papers, taking them a layer deeper than they sit today
- Deliver month end journals, accruals, prepayments and balance sheet reconciliations to deadline
- Feed accurate gross margin analysis and commentary into the monthly management pack
- Maintain the detailed investment portfolio record, including new additions and intra group transfers
- Work with the asset management team on key terms, expiry dates and where they should be focusing
- Flag where margin can be improved across the portfolio, then track whether it moves
- Support the annual audit, pulling together requests and evidence
- Check and submit VAT returns
- Help track the KPIs the business actually runs on
- Play a lead part in transitioning gross margin reporting onto a new asset management system
- Keep the process notes current so the work is repeatable and not stored in one person's head
