Job Description

Senior Management Accountant

Up to £47,500 + Hybrid Working

Harrogate

40 Hours

Looking for that next step where you’re not just producing numbers but actually influencing decisions, leading a small team, and having a real say in how things are done?

This is an opportunity with a growing, forward-thinking business in Harrogate that’s built a reputation for doing things properly, both commercially and culturally. It’s a business that’s scaled quickly, continues to evolve, and genuinely invests in its people, with clear progression plans and exposure to senior leadership.

Whether you're fully qualified (ACCA/CIMA/ACA), part-qualified, or a strong QBE with solid experience, this role offers real ownership, variety, and the chance to step into a more senior, visible position within finance.

You’ll work closely with an experienced and approachable senior finance leader who will give you both support and autonomy. It’s the kind of environment where your ideas are welcomed, continuous improvement is encouraged, and no one is stuck in a “we’ve always done it this way” mindset.

What you’ll be doing

This is a hands-on, end-to-end role with a strong commercial and leadership angle. Day to day, you’ll be:

Owning the full monthly management accounts process, ensuring deadlines are met and reporting is accurate and meaningful

Producing detailed variance analysis and commentary, working closely with operational teams to understand the drivers behind performance

Leading on balance sheet integrity, including reconciliations and supporting schedules

Supporting budgeting and reforecasting processes, working with a range of stakeholders

Playing a key role in year-end and audit processes

Business partnering across different areas of the business, helping non-finance stakeholders understand the numbers

Identifying and driving improvements in systems, controls, and reporting processes

Managing and developing a small team, including setting objectives and running regular one-to-ones

Handling internal and external queries in a timely and professional manner

It’s a role where you’ll need to manage multiple priorities, but you’ll be trusted to do so without being micromanaged.

What’s on offer

Salary up to £47,500 depending on experience

Study support if required

Hybrid working and flexible hours

25 days holiday plus your birthday off

Free onsite parking

Regular social events and a genuinely supportive culture

High street discounts and additional perks

Volunteering days and a business that gives back

Clear progression opportunities as the business continues to grow

What you’ll bring

Qualified (ACCA/CIMA/ACA), Part Qualified, or QBE with strong experience

Solid background in management accounts and month-end processes

Experience producing balance sheet reconciliations and working to deadlines

Confidence working with stakeholders and explaining financial information clearly

Previous experience mentoring or managing junior team members, or ready to step into that responsibility

Strong Excel skills and a naturally analytical mindset

A proactive approach with a focus on continuous improvement

If you’re looking for a role where you can move beyond the standard month-end cycle, take ownership, and genuinely add value, this could be a great next step.
