Management Accountant – Engineering & National Legal Football
Location: Halesowen
Salary: £45,000
If you're a qualified accountant looking for more variety than a traditional single-company finance role, this opportunity offers something genuinely different.
You'll take ownership of management accounts and reporting across a privately owned group, including an established engineering business and a National League football club. It's a hands-on role offering exposure to very different commercial environments, with responsibility spanning management accounts, budgeting, variance analysis and ad hoc financial analysis.
The role would suit someone with strong technical foundations who wants broader commercial exposure without moving into a large corporate finance environment.
Management Accountant – This Role Is Ideal For
- A qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA or CIMA) looking to move beyond a single-entity finance function into a more varied role.
- Someone who enjoys taking hands-on ownership of management accounts and wants exposure to different businesses within a group structure.
- A confident Excel user who takes pride in producing accurate, well-structured reporting and useful financial analysis.
- Someone comfortable working independently while being part of a close-knit finance team.
Management Accountant – About the Business
This is a well-established, privately owned group based in Halesowen, with interests including engineering and football.
