Manufacturing / similar background

I am currently supporting a well-established and growing manufacturing business in their search for an Assistant Management Accountant.

This is a great opportunity for someone looking to build on their finance experience and develop their career within a commercially focused role. You'll work closely with the Finance Manager, Finance Director, and operational teams, helping to turn financial data into meaningful insight that supports business performance and decision-making.

The Role

Key responsibilities will include:

• Partnering with managers across the business to help them understand financial performance and support business decisions.
• Assisting with the preparation of budgets and forecasts.
• Ensuring stock accounting is accurate and working with factory teams to maintain the integrity of data.
• Supporting factory management with reporting around efficiency, productivity, and output.
• Developing and improving reports within the production and accounting systems to provide meaningful management information.
• Supporting project work, including detailed analysis of factory costs and identifying opportunities for improvement.
• Working with Commercial and Operations teams on product costing and pricing.
• Assisting with the monthly management accounts process, including journals, accruals, prepayments, variance analysis, and reporting.
• Contributing to the ongoing development of a strong and collaborative finance team.

About You

You'll ideally have:

• AAT qualification or a relevant degree, with plans to study ACCA or CIMA.
• Previous finance experience within a manufacturing environment.
• Strong Excel and spreadsheet skills.
• Experience using accounting and finance systems.
• Knowledge of reporting tools such as Power BI or AWS QuickSight.
• Strong communication skills and the confidence to work with stakeholders across the business.
• A positive, proactive approach and the ability to work well as part of a team.

What's in it for You?

• A varied role with exposure to both finance and operations.
• The opportunity to work closely with senior leaders and influence business decisions.
• Career development and study support opportunities.
• A supportive and collaborative working environment.
• Hybrid working options, although there is real value in being on-site and building relationships with operational teams and colleagues across the business.
