The One Group is exclusively partnering with a growing manufacturing business in Cambridge as they look to hire a Management Accountant on a full time, permanent basis.

This is a brilliant opportunity to join an ambitious business at an exciting point in its growth journey. Working closely with the Financial Controller and senior leadership team, you’ll play a key role in delivering the reporting and financial insight needed to drive performance across the business.

With plenty happening across the group, there will be real opportunity to add value, improve processes and get involved in automation and AI initiatives – so if you’re someone who looks at a manual finance process and immediately starts thinking about how it could be made more efficient, this could be a great fit.

Responsibilities:

• Preparation of weekly and monthly accounts, including variance analysis and commentary
• Supporting rolling forecasts and explaining variances against targets
• Month-end journals and balance sheet review and reconciliation
• Working capital reporting and short-term cash flow forecasting
• Strengthening financial controls and identifying process improvements
• Business partnering with operational teams to improve performance
• Liaising with group functions and external auditors where required

Requirements:

• At least 2 years' experience within a Management Accountant role
• Qualified, part-qualified/finalist or qualified by experience – attitude and experience are just as important as the qualification itself
• Strong Excel skills and experience working with ERP systems
• Previous experience within an SME or hands-on finance environment would be highly advantageous
• Manufacturing experience would be ideal, although another fast-paced operational environment would translate well
• Experience with process improvement, automation or AI within finance would be a real advantage

What’s in it for You?

• Salary up to £40,000 - £50,000 (depending on experience and qualifications)
• Excellent benefits package – including life assurance, income protection, private medical, free EV charging on site and more!
• Development & progression opportunities available
• A collaborative and supportive culture
• The opportunity to make a visible impact within a manufacturing environment

This is a fully office based role, working full time Monday to Friday.

If you’re looking for a hands-on, fast-paced role in an innovative Cambridge business, I’d love to hear from you.
