Senior Management Accountant

Core3 is delighted to be working with an established not-for-profit organisation in Bristol to recruit a Senior Management Accountant.

Why join our client

This is a varied role for someone who wants more than just producing the monthly numbers. You’ll have the chance to influence how finance supports the wider organisation, improve the quality of reporting and help strengthen the way financial information is used.

You’ll also have scope to develop your leadership experience, support colleagues across the finance team and play a part in improving systems, processes and controls.

How you’ll make an impact

  • Work with stakeholders across the organisation to improve financial understanding
  • Deliver clear management reporting and explain the story behind the numbers
  • Support budgeting and forecasting activity across the organisation
  • Take ownership of key areas of the month-end process
  • Review financial performance and highlight risks, trends and areas for action
  • Strengthen financial controls and improve the quality of accounting information
  • Support year-end preparation and external audit requirements
  • Identify opportunities to simplify reporting and improve finance processes
  • Contribute to systems improvements and better use of financial data
  • Support and develop colleagues within the finance team

Why you’re a great fit

  • Qualified or finalist accountant (ACA, ACCA or CIMA)
  • Strong background in management accounting and financial reporting
  • Confident preparing and interpreting management information
  • Good understanding of budgeting, forecasting and financial control
  • Strong analytical skills and attention to detail
  • Able to communicate financial information clearly to non-finance stakeholders
  • Comfortable managing priorities and working to deadlines
  • Interested in process improvement and finding better ways of working
  • Keen to broaden your leadership and people management experience
  • Collaborative, practical and confident taking ownership

What you’ll get in return

As Senior Management Accountant, you’ll join a supportive not-for-profit organisation where you can build on your technical experience while gaining broader exposure across reporting, planning, stakeholder management and team development.

  • £50,000–£55,000 salary
  • Hybrid working in Bristol
  • Opportunity to build leadership and people management experience
  • Broad exposure across finance and the wider organisation
  • Scope to influence reporting and process improvements
  •  

We welcome applications from all qualified candidates who believe they meet the role requirements. We’re committed to equality, diversity and inclusion, and we’ll provide any reasonable adjustments you may need throughout the recruitment process.
