Management Accountant

Yolk Recruitment is proud to be partnering with Valleys to Coast to recruit two Management Accountants to join their Finance team on an initial 3-month temporary contract. These roles have genuine long-term potential, with the opportunity to apply for permanent positions while working in the temporary assignment.

Why join Valleys to Coast?

Valleys to Coast is entering an exciting period of growth as it delivers its ambitious corporate strategy. With continued investment across the business, there are significant opportunities for career development and progression.

You''ll be joining a highly regarded Finance team with exceptionally low staff turnover, where people enjoy working collaboratively and are encouraged to develop professionally. The organisation is also preparing to implement a new finance system, giving you the chance to get involved in a major transformation project alongside your day-to-day responsibilities.

The Role

As a Management Accountant, you''ll act as a true Finance Business Partner, working closely with managers and teams across the organisation. You''ll build relationships with non-financial stakeholders, helping them understand budgets, challenge performance, identify risks and opportunities, and support informed decision-making.

No two days will look the same. Alongside producing management information, budgeting and forecasting, you''ll be encouraged to ask questions, investigate trends and add real commercial value across the business.

Key responsibilities include:

• Producing accurate monthly management accounts and financial reporting
• Supporting budgeting, forecasting and variance analysis
• Partnering with operational managers to provide financial insight and challenge
• Preparing balance sheet reconciliations and month-end journals
• Identifying opportunities to improve financial performance and reporting processes
• Supporting the implementation of a new finance system and wider finance improvement projects

About You

We''re looking for someone who enjoys working with people just as much as numbers.

You''ll ideally be:

• Qualified or Part-qualified (ACCA, CIMA or ACA) or actively studying towards qualification
• Experienced within a management accounting or finance business partnering environment
• An advanced Excel user with strong analytical skills
• Curious, proactive and confident communicating financial information to non-finance colleagues
• Someone who enjoys building relationships and influencing decision-making across a business
• Experience with Open Accounts or similar finance systems would be advantageous.

What''s on Offer?

• Initial 3-month temporary contract with genuine opportunity to secure a permanent position
• Hybrid working - typically 2 days in the office and 3 days working from home
• 5-hour working week
• Opportunity to work a 9-day fortnight, giving you every other Friday off after your first month
• Excellent career development opportunities within a growing organisation

To Apply

If you''re looking for a role where you can develop your career, influence business decisions and be part of an organisation investing in its future, we''d love to hear from you.
