Management Accountant

Radar Recruitment are delighted to be exclusively partnered, once again with a large, recognisable employer based in East Kent, supporting them in their search for a brand-new Management Accountant. Due to significant changes within the organisation, there has been a real shift in focus and mentality, contracts that have previously been deemed as transactional are now looked at, on a relationship and service level basis, and as such the company will see more than a 10% increase in their turnover across the next 12 months. The business is highly reputable with strong links across the County, the finance team are long-standing with a high-calibre culture; it’s high-autonomy, high-reward environment is extremely attractive to those wishing to have an impact on the wider business.

We have recently placed at a senior level within the company and in turn, a long-standing member of the team has received a promotion to support the incoming candidate, therefore opening up a gap across the core finance team. The business has decided to upgrade the role and dedicate an individual solely to one area of the company accounts, with the view that as this person has closer ties to the detailed data, it will result in a higher level of accuracy and pace in their reporting.

Reporting into the Financial Controller this Management Accountant will have overall responsibility for consignment accounting and all the relevant reporting associated with it. This role includes certain levels of transactions and processing – by having ownership of this level it guarantees a greater level of understanding and their fore efficacy in reporting. You will be a key point of contact to all relevant stakeholders both internal and external, some which sit outside of finance and will need raw data explained in a more usable way.

Profile:

• Studying, Part and Fully Qualified all to be considered (QBE too), we are seeking an individual who can appreciate that this role will have a level of processing as well as higher level reporting.
• Exposure to a product-based environment, be it Food, other FMCG or Manufacturing would be deemed as a positive, understanding operational requirements and having exposure to partnering with people outside of finance will be useful.
• Attitude is everything for this hire, you will need to have a natural drive to improve and develop the role, be willing to learn and adapt to the nuances of the sector and ultimately mould the role around your strengths to benefit the wider team.
• As much as each and every member has their own remit, you will be a crucial employee of a tight-knit operation, everyone has an important part to play and by fulfilling your requirements you ensure other people can do their role effectively.
• Although this has direct ownership of consignment accounts, it is not imperative you have experience in this, to simplify consignment accounting is a type of business arrangement in which one person send goods to another person for sale on their behalf.
