Management Accountant

Cardiff

Up to £40,000 plus Benefits

Môrwell Talent Solutions are delighted to be partnering with a highly respected and culturally significant third-sector organisation based in the heart of Cardiff, as they look to appoint an experienced and technically strong Management Accountant to join their finance team on a permanent basis.

This is a genuinely unique opportunity to join a values-driven organisation that plays an important role in shaping the arts and cultural landscape across Wales.

Working closely with the Finance Director and Finance Business Partner, you will step into a pivotal position within the finance function, supporting both the core organisation and its trading subsidiary. You will be taking over from a long-standing and highly valued member of the team who is retiring. As a result, we are looking for someone capable of hitting the ground running and bringing strong technical accounting expertise alongside excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.

This is far more than a standard management accounts role. The organisation operates across multiple departments and subsidiary companies, creating a varied, fast-paced and intellectually engaging environment where no two days are the same.

Key Responsibilities:

• Production of complex monthly management accounts and financial reporting
• Budgeting and forecasting across multiple departments, projects and cost centres
• Supporting the financial management of both the organisation and its trading subsidiary
• Providing meaningful financial analysis, insight and performance reporting
• Analysing performance data and producing detailed analytical information
• Explaining financial information clearly and confidently to non-financial stakeholders
• Supporting funding reporting requirements and multi-income stream analysis
• Managing balance sheet reconciliations and ensuring financial accuracy
• Supporting project and production-based budgeting activities
• Supervising, mentoring and supporting two finance team members
• Working closely with senior leadership to support strategic decision making
• Identifying opportunities for process improvements and efficiencies
• Supporting upcoming finance transformation projects, including the implementation of a new ERP system

About You:

We are keen to speak with experienced Management Accountants who are technically strong, commercially aware and confident working within a fast-paced and complex environment.

You will ideally possess:

• ACA, ACCA or CIMA qualification, or be part-qualified with significant relevant experience
• Proven management accounting and financial reporting experience
• Strong budgeting, forecasting and analytical skills
• Advanced Excel capabilities
• Experience using large integrated ERP systems (SAP exposure highly advantageous)
• Excellent communication skills with the confidence to present financial information to non-finance professionals
• Previous supervisory or team leadership experience
• Strong attention to detail and commitment to accuracy
• The ability to manage multiple priorities and deadlines effectively
• A proactive, collaborative and solutions-focused approach
• Desirable Experience:
• Experience within the arts, cultural or charity sector
• Experience working within a charity SORP reporting environment
• Knowledge of Theatre Tax Relief or Orchestra Tax Relief
• Experience working with project or production-based budgeting
• Understanding of multi-funding stream environments

What's on Offer:

• Salary up to £40,000
• 35-hour working week
• Stunning offices located in Cardiff Bay
• Discounted parking available nearby
• Opportunity to work within a collaborative and purpose-driven environment
• Exposure to exciting finance transformation and ERP implementation projects
• The chance to play a meaningful role within a prestigious Welsh organisation with an incredible legacy

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who wants to make a genuine impact, develop alongside a growing finance team and be part of an organisation that truly contributes to the cultural fabric of Wales. For further information, please contact Môrwell Talent Solutions in confidence.
