Management Accountant in Altrincham, Greater Manchester

Your new company
An exciting opportunity has arisen to join a fast-growing and entrepreneurial property business that is expanding its portfolio across the residential and hospitality sectors. Operating within a dynamic, multi-entity environment, the organisation is investing heavily in its finance function and is seeking a commercially-minded Management Accountant to provide high-quality financial reporting and insight that will support continued growth and strategic decision-making.

Your new role
Reporting to the Financial Controller, you will take ownership of the monthly management accounts process across a number of entities, producing accurate financial reporting, variance analysis and KPI reporting. You'll play a key role in monitoring development and operational performance, preparing journals, accruals and balance sheet reconciliations, while supporting budgeting and forecasting activities.
The role will also involve working closely with operational teams to analyse revenue performance, monitor expenditure against budgets, reconcile transactional data, manage intercompany balances and support audit, VAT and compliance requirements. This is a broad position offering exposure to both operational finance and project-based accounting within a growing business.

What you'll need to succeed
You will be a newly qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA or CIMA) or finalist with previous experience in a management accounting role. Experience within hospitality, property, accommodation, hotels or a multi-site environment would be highly advantageous. You will possess strong analytical capabilities, excellent attention to detail and the ability to translate financial information into meaningful commercial insights. Strong Excel skills are essential, while experience of Xero, Power BI and VAT compliance would be beneficial. This role requires a proactive individual who is comfortable working in a fast-paced environment and managing multiple priorities simultaneously.

What you'll get in return
In return, you'll join an ambitious and growing business where you can genuinely influence decision-making and contribute to the success of a developing portfolio. You'll receive a competitive salary, performance-related bonus, pension scheme, wellness benefits, free on-site parking and the opportunity to work closely with senior stakeholders within a collaborative and forward-thinking environment. This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced Management Accountant seeking a varied role with strong long-term career prospects.
