Senior Management Accountant (Interim to Permanent)

Hybrid working – 3 days office / 2 from home

Up to £57,000 FTE

Interim to permanent opportunity

I am exclusively supporting a complex, purpose-led organisation in Hertfordshire on the appointment of a Senior Management Accountant to join their finance team on an interim basis, with strong potential for the role to become permanent.

This is a highly visible role, partnering closely with senior stakeholders across the organisation and supporting the financial management of complex projects and funding streams.

The successful candidate will play a key role across:

• Management accounting
• Budgeting and forecasting
• Project and grant accounting
• Financial analysis and business partnering
• Sponsor and funder reporting
• Financial governance and compliance
• Supporting strategic financial decision making

The organisation is seeking a qualified accountant (ACA / ACCA / CIMA or equivalent) with strong stakeholder engagement skills and previous experience operating within complex environments.

Grants/funding experience is essential for this role, alongside previous exposure within research, education, charity, public sector or similarly funded organisations.

You will also ideally demonstrate:

• Strong management accounting and forecasting capability
• Experience supporting complex projects or portfolios
• Excellent Excel and systems skills
• Strong communication and stakeholder management
• Previous mentoring or leadership exposure

This is an excellent opportunity for someone seeking a role which combines meaningful stakeholder engagement, financial insight and long-term career potential within a collaborative environment.
