Management Accountant

Overview

This is a substantive, commercially focused management accounting role reporting directly to the senior finance and commercial leadership of the business. It is not a back-office position — you will be a key part of a small, high-functioning team, working across all three business units and contributing to strategic financial decision-making as well as day-to-day reporting. The business has significant commercial complexity: multiple revenue streams, project-based contracts with varying billing structures, and invoice finance facilities. The successful candidate will thrive in this environment and bring both technical rigour and commercial curiosity to the role.
