Are you a part-qualified accountant looking to develop your career within a purpose-led organisation?
This is an exciting opportunity to join a respected national welfare charity as a Management Accountant, supporting financial decision-making across vital programmes that make a real difference to people's lives.

You'll join a supportive and high-performing finance team that values learning and professional growth. With comprehensive training, mentoring, and study support, you'll gain hands-on experience across management reporting, budgeting, and business partnering - developing the skills to progress into more senior finance roles within the charity sector.

About the Role

As a Management Accountant, you will provide timely, accurate financial reporting and insights to ensure resources are used effectively. You'll support budget holders across the organisation, lead on financial planning, and contribute to decision-making at both operational and strategic levels.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Preparing monthly management accounts and conducting detailed variance analysis.

  • Leading on the development and maintenance of annual budgets and periodic forecasts.

  • Performing reconciliations of balance sheet accounts and resolving discrepancies.

  • Supporting with periodic journals, cost allocations, and month-end processes.

  • Providing ad-hoc financial analysis and recommendations to guide strategic objectives.

  • Partnering with non-financial managers to provide financial insights that drive impact.

  • Contributing to external, internal, and funder audits.

About You

You will be a motivated, part-qualified accountant with strong technical skills and a collaborative approach. You'll bring excellent problem-solving ability, commercial awareness, and the confidence to influence and support colleagues across the organisation.

Essential skills and experience:

  • Part-qualified accountant (CCAB or equivalent).

  • Advanced knowledge of Microsoft Excel and finance systems.

  • Strong communication skills, both written and verbal, with active listening ability.

  • Ability to work effectively under pressure with excellent attention to detail.

  • Proven experience in variance analysis, budgeting, and financial reporting.

  • Sound judgement and decision-making skills.

  • Ability to build effective relationships with finance and non-finance colleagues.

What Is On Offer

  • The chance to use your skills to make a meaningful difference.

  • A supportive team environment committed to professional development.

  • Opportunities to shape financial practices and contribute to organisational strategy.

  • Almost fully remote working with travel every few weeks into the office.
