Management Accountant - 6 month contract - Up to £250 a day - London/hybrid

My client, a growing marketing company based in London, is looking to recruit a Management Accountant for an initial 6 contract (potential to go permanent) offering hybrid working. The successful candidate will be responsible for recurring reporting and reconciliations end to end, turn month-end numbers into insight the business acts on, and create room for the Financial Controller to focus on commercial and strategic priorities.

Key responsibilities:

• Prepare management accounts and month-end reporting across all entities.
• Own balance sheet reconciliations and assigned recurring reporting, end to end.
• Investigate variances, find the root cause and resolve discrepancies, producing analysis the business can act on.
• Build and improve reporting, reconciliation and control processes, including automation that cuts manual effort and strengthens controls.
• Support budgeting, forecasting and cashflow, and contribute to strategic finance initiatives as you grow into the role.
• Act as a trusted point of contact for finance queries and analysis across finance and the wider business.
• Take clear ownership of core responsibilities to reduce key-person dependency within the function.

Key skills:

• Qualified (ACA, ACCA or CIMA) preferred but not required. We'll also consider strong part-qualified or qualified-by-experience candidates with solid management accounting experience.
• Hands-on experience preparing management accounts, running month-end and owning balance sheet reconciliations.
• Strong analytical skills: you investigate variances, find the root cause and resolve discrepancies rather than just flagging them.
• Advanced Excel, including data analysis, modelling and reporting.
• Comfortable managing multiple priorities at pace without dropping accuracy or attention to detail.
• Multi-entity accounting experience, and exposure to budgeting, forecasting, cashflow and working capital.
• A digital marketing, technology, SaaS or high-growth background would be advantageous.
• A track record of process improvement or finance automation.
