Management Accountant

Salary: £42,000 – £48,000 per year

Our client is a fast growing national Top 500 law firm with a good modern culture and good career prospects at all levels.

Owing to promotions they now need a new Management Accountant to join their team.

You will work closely with the Group Financial Controller and the CFO so you will be comfortable working with board level colleagues.

You will be ACA/CIMA/ACCA qualified or significant QBE with proven and relevant commercial experience, ideally in a law firm.

You will have exceptional Excel and system skills, with the ability to manipulate data efficiently and use models to present results and analysis.

You will be confident in your ability to challenge processes, recommend improvements and comfortably communicate with both financial and non-financial staff to achieve results.

Obviously you will have excellent numeracy and organisation skills, and attention to detail and the ability to self-motivate and work to deadlines.

In an ideal world all this experience will be coupled with payroll, system migration and IFRS knowledge and experience but this is desirable but not essential.

Your main responsibilities will be:

Preparing the Group Management Accounts and Statutory Accounts.

Streamlining and improving reporting processes for the SMT and stakeholders.

Preparing and updating forecasts, budgets and cash flow models.

Developing systems, processes and controls to facilitate business growth

This drills down to:

Preparing the Group Management accounts to a balance sheet reconciliation standard, helping to facilitate a quarterly to monthly reporting position.

Preparing and improving the quality of weekly and monthly reporting to SMT.

Preparing and finalising Statutory Accounts across the Group.

Supporting in P&L reviews, including cost reviews, variance analysis and commentary.

Assisting with creating and updating budgets, forecasts and cash flow templates.

Supporting the multi-site Finance transaction team, review and improve systems, controls and processes for best practice and assist in training junior members of the team.

Supporting with any system migrations.
