Every set of accounts you produce needs to be right first time, and that''s exactly the standard here.
You''ll get straight into the detail: margins, stock valuation, and variance analysis that actually shapes decisions.
This is a role for someone who takes real pride in getting the numbers right, not just close.

As a Management Accountant, you will benefit from:

  • Genuine autonomy over how you manage your workload and priorities
  • Direct exposure to senior stakeholders and commercial decision-making
  • A supportive management structure
  • The chance to shape processes and systems as the finance function develops
  • Career progression within a well-established business
  • Full time office based role

As a Management Accountant, your responsibilities will include:

  • Prepare and present monthly management accounts and board reports
  • Lead gross margin analysis by product line
  • Produce and interpret variance analysis comparing actual results against budget and forecast
  • Oversee stock valuation and reconciliation across chilled and frozen inventory
  • Manage VAT returns and other statutory reporting requirements
  • Support and review the work of an Assistant Management Accountant

As a Management Accountant, your experience will include:

  • Qualified or part-qualified CIMA, ACCA, or ACA (or equivalent)
  • Proven experience in a management accounting role, ideally within food distribution, wholesale, or FMCG
  • Advanced Excel skills, including pivot tables and VLOOKUP/XLOOKUP
  • Strong understanding of stock control and cost accounting
  • Experience working confidently with high-volume transactional data
  • A confident communicator, comfortable business partnering across operations and procurement

If you''re looking for a role where your accuracy and analysis genuinely influence the business, this could be your next step. Apply today with an up-to-date CV or call Claire Heckford at Rubicon for more information.

While Rubicon uses AI to help speed up processes across the business, every application is reviewed by a human to ensure the right decision is made.
