Job description:
Macildowie are working with an established, owner-led retail business, based near Newark, to recruit a Management Accountant.
Its finance lead is moving into a wider role, so this new position will take ownership of the monthly management accounts. The current pack is simple, which gives the successful candidate real scope to develop it: adding detail, splitting out the numbers and making it more useful to the business. Over time, the role will also take on the financial accounts and year-end audit.
It’s a small, hands-on team where everyone gets involved, so alongside month-end you’ll pick up a varied mix of commercial and ad hoc work.

*Preparing the monthly management accounts
*Reviewing and developing the management accounts pack
*Posting month-end journals, including payroll, accruals and prepayments
*Reconciling payroll postings (payroll itself is run by HR)
*Completing returns and government surveys
*Over time, setting priorities for a small admin team covering bank reconciliations, purchase ledger and sales input
*Checking supplier invoices for utilities, phones and IT, and resolving billing issues
*Supporting utility contract negotiations
*Longer term, taking on the financial accounting and year-end audit
About you
*Experience producing monthly management accounts, including journals, accruals and prepayments
*Strong with numbers and confident improving a set of accounts, not just producing them
*Comfortable in a small team where finance gets involved in wider business tasks
*Looking for a long-term role with stability and the chance to grow
*Qualified by experience, part-qualified or studying candidates are all welcome
*Microsoft Dynamics experience is useful but not essential
What’s on offer
*£45,000 salary
*Ownership of a full set of management accounts
*Close support from an experienced finance lead
*Study support after probation
*A route into financial accounting, audit and further progression as the business grows
*20 days’ annual leave plus 8 bank holidays
*Life assurance (2× salary)
*Staff discounts
*Pension
*Flexible start and finish times
