Commercial Management Accountant
Salary: £50,000 - £60,000 (Depending on experience)
Location: Manchester City Centre
Hybrid - 4 days office, 1 day home
The opportunity
We're looking for a Senior Management Accountant who enjoys doing more than producing the numbers. Commercial is the key word!
This is not a role about just putting the numbers together. It's about what happens after the pack goes out - interpreting the numbers, telling the story behind them, and explaining what it actually means to the business.
You'll report to the Head of Finance and have a team in place around you to free you up to add value on the commercial side.
We want someone who pulls on the thread, is naturally curious and when something doesn't look right, you go and find out why rather than noting it and moving on.
The role – key responsibilities
- Prepare timely, accurate monthly management accounts for the group and individual sites
- Own the P&L review - trends, variances and the underlying drivers
- Know what is in the numbers and tell the story behind them to non-finance stakeholders
- Investigate variances by getting out and speaking to operational teams
- Challenge budget holders constructively and help them improve their numbers
- Support budgeting and re-forecasting with robust numbers and clear assumptions
- Provide data-driven analysis to support decisions on new initiatives and cost savings
- Bring your own ideas and drive improvements to reporting and process
- Work with the Assistant Management Accountant and transactional team to ensure a robust month end
- Design and refine trackers and templates used by non-finance teams to improve data quality

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.
About you
- Strong, hands-on commercial management accounting experience - full P&L, variance analysis and commentary
- Genuine commercial curiosity: you ask why something has moved and keep going until you know
- You're genuinely interested in what drives the business - finding the root cause is exciting to you
- Confident explaining financial information to people who don't work in finance
- Comfortable in a fast-paced, high growth environment
- Someone who arrives with ideas and makes things happen rather than waiting to be asked
- Strong Excel, analytical and systems skills
- Fully qualified CIMA / ACCA / ACA, or equivalent experience - commercial impact matters more than exam status. Part qual will be considered but fully qual is preferred.
