Management Accountant| Peterborough | Up to £45,000 per annum | Hybrid Working (3 Days Office / 2 Days Home) | Study Support
Veracious Talent Partners are supporting a well-established global business in the recruitment of a Management Accountant to join their finance team based in Peterborough.
This is an excellent opportunity for a part-qualified accountant looking to take on greater responsibility within a large, complex organisation, with plenty of exposure to senior stakeholders and the opportunity to develop their commercial and financial understanding.
Reporting directly to the FP&A Manager, you'll take ownership of reporting and analysis across a number of key overhead cost areas, working closely with both finance and non-finance stakeholders to provide meaningful insight into business performance.
The role offers a good balance of traditional management accounting, budgeting, forecasting and business partnering, making it particularly appealing to someone who enjoys getting involved in the numbers but also wants to understand the wider business.
Key Responsibilities
- Take ownership of weekly and monthly management reporting across designated overhead cost areas, providing commentary and analysis on financial performance.
- Prepare and review monthly balance sheet reconciliations, investigating variances and identifying potential risks and opportunities.
- Support the preparation and delivery of annual budgets, rolling forecasts and longer-term financial plans.
- Work closely with senior finance and operational stakeholders to review costs, challenge performance and support financial decision-making.
- Monitor headcount and associated costs, ensuring accurate reporting and forecasting.
- Liaise with internal finance teams and external service providers to ensure the accuracy and timely delivery of financial information.
- Produce ad-hoc financial analysis and reporting to support the FP&A Manager and wider business.
- Identify opportunities to improve reporting processes, financial controls and overall efficiency.
- Support wider finance projects and continuous improvement initiatives.

- Part-qualified status (ACCA, CIMA or ACA), with a commitment to completing your professional studies.
- Previous experience within a Management Accountant, Assistant Management Accountant or similar finance position.
- Experience preparing management accounts, budgets, forecasts and financial analysis.
- A good understanding of balance sheet reconciliations and financial controls.
- Strong Excel skills and confidence working with financial systems.
- The ability to communicate effectively with both finance and non-finance stakeholders.
- A proactive approach, with good organisational skills and a willingness to challenge existing processes.
What’s on Offer?
- Salary of up to £45,000 per annum.
- Hybrid working, with 3 days per week in the Peterborough office and 2 days working from home.
- Study support towards a professional accountancy qualification.
- The opportunity to join an established global organisation.
- Exposure to senior finance leaders and stakeholders across the business.
- A varied role combining management accounting, financial analysis and business partnering.
