Temporary Management Accountant

Posted: 05/12/25
Recruiter:Morgan McKinley (South West)
Reference:3041528218
Type:Temporary
Salary:Competitive
Location:Bristol
Description:

Management Accountant (Temporary - Approx. 3 Months, Potential to Go Permanent)
Location: Central Bristol (Hybrid - 3 days in the office)

Morgan McKinley is supporting a long-standing Bristol SME with the appointment of an experienced Management Accountant who can join them on a 3-month interim contract. For the right person, there's every chance this could convert into a permanent opportunity - but if you're simply looking for a solid contract to get stuck into, that works too.

We're looking for someone who can start within a maximum of 2 weeks' notice and who has genuine end-to-end management accounts experience within an SME environment. The finance team is hands-on, supportive, and busy, so you'll need to be confident picking work up quickly and running with it.



What you'll be getting involved in:

  • Full ownership of monthly management accounts, including journals, accruals, and prepayments

  • Balance sheet reconciliations and maintaining accurate financial records

  • Variance analysis and commentary to support senior leadership

  • Cashflow forecasting and monitoring

  • Support with budgeting and forecasting cycles

  • Working closely with operational teams to understand cost drivers

  • Helping streamline processes and improve reporting where needed

  • Month-end close responsibilities from start to finish



What we're looking for:

  • Strong SME background - you're used to rolling your sleeves up

  • Comfortable taking full ownership of the management accounts process

  • Able to start within 2 weeks

  • Confident working in a hybrid setup (3 days in the Bristol office)

  • Someone who enjoys being embedded in a business and adding value quickly

If you'd like to hear more, call Lucy at Morgan McKinley on (phone number removed), or hit apply and we'll be in touch.
