Management Accountant

Management Accountant
£60,000 + 10% Completion Bonus (£6k)
Swindon | Hybrid | 16-Month FTC

I’m delighted to be exclusively partnering once again with this ambitious and highly respected organisation (c£500m turnover) to recruit a commercially focused Management Accountant on a 16-month fixed term contract.

  • This is not a “turn the handle” reporting role.
  • This is a position for someone who wants to understand what drives the numbers — not just produce them.

Why This Role Stands Out:

  • Salary up to £60k + 10% completion bonus
  • High visibility with senior stakeholders
  • Genuine commercial exposure and influence
  • Strong, supportive Head of Commercial Finance
  • Tenured, collaborative finance team
  • Hybrid working

I have placed multiple individuals into this finance function over the years and the feedback on leadership, culture and progression has consistently been excellent.

The Role:

You will:

  • Own operational cost reporting and deliver meaningful variance analysis
  • Partner closely with Cost Centre Managers and senior stakeholders
  • Lead conversations around cost drivers and performance improvement
  • Support budgeting and forecasting cycles
  • Deliver clear, concise financial insight via Excel and PowerPoint
  • Drive efficiencies and continuous improvement initiatives
  • You will be expected to challenge, probe and add value — not simply circulate reports.
  • This is a role where you influence decisions and improve performance.

Benefits

  • Salary up to £60,000
  • 10% completion bonus (£6k)
  • 5% matched pension
  • 27 days holiday + option to buy more
  • Hybrid working
  • Strong wider benefits package

About You

  • ACA / ACCA / CIMA (part-qualified, qualified)
  • Advanced Excel skills (confident analysing large data sets)
  • Strong PowerPoint capability – able to present clear commercial narratives
  • Confident partnering with cost centre managers
  • Curious, commercially minded and proactive
  • Comfortable discussing cost drivers and operational performance
