Management Accountant

London Hybrid - Management Accountant

Our client is one of the UK's most respected military charities, with over 140 years of history supporting veterans and service leavers into meaningful civilian careers. A vacancy has arisen for a Management Accountant to join a small, experienced finance team at their London headquarters.

Reporting to the Head of Finance, you will take ownership of monthly management accounts, budgeting, forecasting and variance analysis. You will work closely with directors, operational managers and the fundraising team to monitor funding streams, prepare audit-ready financial statements and support ongoing improvement of finance processes and systems.

This is a hybrid role with a minimum of two days a week at the London office. The position is offered initially on a fixed-term basis with a strong view to permanence for the right candidate.

What we are looking for
Experience counts for a great deal in this role. You may be qualified, part-qualified or actively studying towards ACA, ACCA, CIMA or an equivalent qualification; what matters most is demonstrable experience of management accounting and the confidence to produce accurate accounts to a tight deadline. You will be comfortable presenting clear financial narratives to non-finance colleagues and working with a good degree of autonomy in a values-led environment.

Charity or not-for-profit experience is desirable, as is familiarity with Xero. A working knowledge of VAT and Gift Aid would also be an advantage, though full support and training can be given to the right candidate.

Salary: £40,000 to £50,000 per annum (circa £45,000), plus benefits
Location: City of Westminster, London hybrid (minimum two days per week in the office)
Contract: Fixed term initially, with strong potential for permanency
