Management Accountant

Harper May is working with a founder-led technology business that has grown to around 80 people over the past four years. The company builds software tools for enterprise clients and is in the midst of a scaling phase, having recently closed a Series A round. As the business matures, finance is moving from transactional to strategic - the leadership team recognises that better cost visibility and commercial reporting will be critical to disciplined growth. They are now seeking a Management Accountant to build out this capability.

The Role You will report to the Finance Director and own the design and delivery of monthly management accounts. Working across product lines, customer segments, and operating cost centres, you'll become the trusted source of financial insight for the business, supporting investment decisions, margin analysis, and operational planning. This is a hands-on role with real scope - you will build the reporting framework from the ground up rather than inherit an established process.
