Transparent has been asked to support a well-reputed business in the recruitment of a Management Accountant for their site in Burnley. This is a stand-alone role, so you will need to have a lively and outgoing character, and someone who always takes a proactive approach to the business and the role itself.

Reporting into the Finance Director of this highly successful organisation, your areas of responsibility will include the following:

• Preparation, analysis, and commentary of monthly management accounts, including review and preparation of balance sheet reconciliations.
• Management reporting on profitability, sales, stock and factory performance on a monthly and weekly basis.
• Producing and reporting on annual budgets for the business.
• Providing financial support to Commercial & Operational Management
• Reviewing Operational KPIs, including labour efficiency and material variances
• Provide product costings for all existing/on-going products, and new products/tenders
• Analysing and presenting CAPEX and OPEX applications.
• Assisting with audit queries
• Working with management to implement new processes and controls; identifying how the site could operate more efficiently
• Creation of ad hoc reports to support business performance

The ideal candidate will be either part qualified (ACCA/CIMA) or be ‘qualified by experience’. Strong MS Excel skills are a must, as are strong IT skills, ideally with exposure to ERP systems (SAP B1 experience would be highly beneficial in this role).

Above all, your desire to learn and be part of a cohesive team is key.

As a ‘stand-alone’ role, it is vital that you have a ‘can-do’ attitude and are not afraid to ask questions. You will need to be a self-starter and be adept at problem-solving and solution-finding.

In return, you will be rewarded with a competitive base salary and the chance to work in a high-growth business, offering stability and a long-term future. In addition, there is a bonus scheme which is company and KPI related. This role offers hybrid working; 3 days in the office, 2 working from home (after initial training period)

If you fit the above criteria, and this sounds like an exciting opportunity, please contact Samantha Harris immediately.
