Management Accountant
Salary: £40,000–£50,000, depending on experience
Location: London
Working pattern: Hybrid – four days in the office and one day working from home
Employment type: Full-time
The organisation
Our client is a growing UK eLearning provider that creates accessible, bite-sized online training for individuals, employers and partner organisations. The business develops its own learning technology and content, delivering training solutions across a range of sectors. It is now looking for a capable Management Accountant to take ownership of its day-to-day financial operations and reporting.
The opportunity
We are looking for a commercially minded and hands-on Management Accountant to manage the finances of two small businesses and their holding company.
This is not a purely reporting-focused position. You will be comfortable moving between bookkeeping, payments, invoicing and bank reconciliations while also producing accurate management information and helping senior stakeholders understand the group’s financial performance. The role would suit someone who enjoys taking ownership, improving financial processes and working closely with colleagues in a growing SME environment.
