Job Description

Management Accountant

Core3 are delighted to recruit a Management Accountant for one of the South West’s most successful sporting organisations. 

Why join our client?

This is an amazing opportunity for an ambitious individual to make their mark with one of the most ambitious organisations in the country. You will get work closely with an impressive senior finance team, in a complex business that offers huge variety and room for growth.

You'll be immersed in the world of professional sport; working in iconic grounds and play a key role in the growth of the club. You'll engage and work directly with everyone from the Finance Director to the players themselves.

The main office location is spectacularly beautiful,  with further option to work from another of their iconic grounds. You will have superb facilities at your disposal including a state-of-the-art gym and onsite Chefs, an excellent package of benefits worth the name and the kudos that comes with working for such a prestigious name.

How you’ll make an impact

Reporting to the Financial Controller you'll:

• Prepare monthly management accounts
• Line management of two juniors
• Assist the FC with producing financial and commercial analysis
• Assist the FC on projects
• Assist with budgeting
• Year end accounts
• Payments and expenses
• Special projects

Why we’re excited about you

Our client is very proud of their culture; they aim for excellence in all areas and welcome 'go-getters' that will welcome responsibility. This is not a role for those looking for a 9-5, doing the same thing day after day. Professional sport is faced-paced and high pressure but the rewards are great. You don't necessarily need to be a sporting nut to be able to do this role but it would certainly help!

This is a rare opportunity to join a team that will actively encourage you to learn and take ownership of as much as you can handle. There is huge scope attached to this position, with plenty of upside to take your skills to the next level.

• A qualified or part-qualified accountant (ACA/CIMA or ACCA)
• Strong Management Accounts experience
• Past experience of line management, mentorship of juniors etc.

What you’ll get in return

This is a rare opportunity to fast-track your career and learn from a very talented finance leadership team. The breadth and pace of this role will expose you to more in one year, than most roles would in three. They are offering:

• £40,000 - £45,000 DOE
• 26 days annual leave + Bank Holiday
• Hybrid working - 2 days wfh 
• Private medical
• Death in Service x4
• Free gym, lunch
• Tickets for employer and partner events

We invite applications from all qualified candidates who believe they meet the requirements of the role, whilst supporting and promoting equality and diversity to create an inclusive working environment for all.
