Temporary Management Accountant
About the job
Management Accountant (Temporary - Approx. 3 Months, Potential to Go Permanent)
Location: Central Bristol (Hybrid - 3 days in the office)
Morgan McKinley is supporting a long-standing Bristol SME with the appointment of an experienced Management Accountant who can join them on a 3-month interim contract. For the right person, there's every chance this could convert into a permanent opportunity - but if you're simply looking for a solid contract to get stuck into, that works too.
We're looking for someone who can start within a maximum of 2 weeks' notice and who has genuine end-to-end management accounts experience within an SME environment. The finance team is hands-on, supportive, and busy, so you'll need to be confident picking work up quickly and running with it.
What you'll be getting involved in:
-
Full ownership of monthly management accounts, including journals, accruals, and prepayments
-
Balance sheet reconciliations and maintaining accurate financial records
-
Variance analysis and commentary to support senior leadership
-
Cashflow forecasting and monitoring
-
Support with budgeting and forecasting cycles
-
Working closely with operational teams to understand cost drivers
-
Helping streamline processes and improve reporting where needed
-
Month-end close responsibilities from start to finish
What we're looking for:
-
Strong SME background - you're used to rolling your sleeves up
-
Comfortable taking full ownership of the management accounts process
-
Able to start within 2 weeks
-
Confident working in a hybrid setup (3 days in the Bristol office)
-
Someone who enjoys being embedded in a business and adding value quickly
