About the Role

An education provider is looking to appoint a Management Accountant to support its finance function, with a start date of November 2026.

You'll prepare and review management accounts, support budgeting and forecasting, and give budget holders clear, timely financial information to help them make well-informed decisions.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Preparing monthly management accounts and supporting the month-end process.
  • Producing budgets, forecasts and variance analysis.
  • Working with budget holders to review spend and explain financial performance.
  • Supporting year-end processes and working papers.
  • Maintaining accurate financial records and reporting.

What We're Looking For

Essential:

  • A recognised accountancy qualification, or qualified by experience
  • Experience preparing management accounts, budgets and forecasts
  • Strong analytical skills and attention to detail
  • Confidence working with non-finance colleagues

Desirable (but not essential):

  • Experience within the education sector

If you're ready to bring your management accounting experience to an organisation that invests in its learners, we'd love to hear from you.
