Operations Accountant

Stowmarket / Hybrid

£38,000 - £43,000/year

Join Muntons and help drive operational performance through insightful finance!

Turn insight into action and help shape the future of our operations.

At Muntons, we're passionate about continuous improvement, innovation and making informed decisions that drive business success. We're looking for an Operations Accountant who is curious, analytical and keen to work closely with operational teams to make a real impact.

This is more than a reporting role. You'll be at the heart of the business, turning data into meaningful insight, challenging the status quo, and helping managers understand the financial drivers behind performance.

What You'll Be Doing

• Providing financial analysis and reporting to support operational decision-making.
• Monitoring inventory, stock provisions and manufacturing costs.
• Investigating and explaining production and cost variances.
• Supporting budgeting, forecasting and monthly performance reviews.
• Partnering with managers to identify efficiencies and opportunities for improvement.
• Maintaining robust financial controls and supporting audit activities.

What We're Looking For

• Part-qualified or newly qualified ACCA, CIMA or equivalent.
• Strong analytical skills with a genuine interest in understanding how a business operates.
• Advanced Excel skills and confidence working with data.
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to translate numbers into clear business insights.
• Manufacturing or operational finance experience is desirable but not essential.

Why Join Us?

This is a fantastic opportunity to develop your career within a successful and growing international manufacturing business. You'll gain exposure to key operational decisions, build strong relationships across the organisation, and influence how we improve performance and deliver results.

What We Offer

• Competitive salary
• Annual bonus scheme
• 5% employer pension contribution
• Health Cash Plan
• Life Assurance
• Flexible working opportunities
• Employee benefits platform

If you're looking for a role where your analysis can genuinely influence business decisions and drive continuous improvement, we'd love to hear from you.
