Management Accountant

Progression to Financial Controller

Are you a Management Accountant looking for genuine progression, not just a title change on paper?

This is an opportunity to join a well-established SME in the Newark area with a £6m turnover, working closely with an experienced Finance Controller and Operations Director in a hands-on, commercially focused finance environment.

The business operates across multiple divisions including engineering projects, maintenance services, and product sales – meaning no two days in finance are the same.

You’ll be stepping into a key role supporting the finance function day-to-day, with a clear development pathway into Senior Management Accountant and then Financial Controller.

What you’ll be doing:
You’ll be fully involved in all areas of the finance function, including:

• Sales and purchase ledger management
• Bank reconciliations and cash postings
• Expenses processing and general bookkeeping
• Supporting month-end processes including accruals and prepayments
• Assisting with management accounts preparation
• Maintaining the fixed asset register
• Working across a Sage 50 environment and an in-house order processing system

This is a “hands-on” role – ideal for someone who enjoys being close to the detail but also wants exposure to the wider commercial picture.

What we’re looking for:

• Experience in a Management Accountant / Assistant Management Accountant role
• Strong understanding of core accounting processes and month-end
• Confident working in SME environments where flexibility is key
• Experience with Sage 50 (or similar accounting systems)
• Someone ambitious who wants a clear route into a Financial Controller position

Benefits:

• 25 days holiday plus Bank Holidays
• Free on-site parking
• Electric vehicle charging points
• Healthcare scheme
• Stable, supportive SME environment with long-term career development

If you’re looking for a role where you can genuinely step up, take ownership, and progress quickly into a senior leadership finance position, this could be the move you’ve been waiting for.
