A fast-growing Nottingham business is looking for an all-round Management Accountant to become the Finance Director's right hand. You'll take on real responsibility from the start, and your progression will be driven by results, with a promotion and pay review on the table as soon as you hit agreed goals.
The Role
This is a broad, hands-on position in a lean finance team, reporting directly to the FD. You'll lead month-end, produce the monthly board reporting and look after payroll, credit control and cash.

Review month-end processes and put forward practical improvements
Process payroll, including salaries and sales commission
Handle weekly invoicing and supplier payments
Take ownership of credit control, keeping overdue debt under control
Help the FD track weekly cash flow and plan payments
Work with colleagues across a sales-led business, including queries on spend and expenses

What We're Looking For

Part-qualified CIMA or ACCA
Exposure to month-end close
Previous credit control experience, or a willingness to take it on.
Confidence working directly with a senior finance lead in a small team
Good organisation under deadline pressure

Benefits

Personal milestones agreed from your first day, such as bringing overdue debt down or fully owning a process
Hit them and you'll get a promotion and pay review, with no minimum time in role (past hires have stepped up within 2–4 months)
Study support towards your qualification
Exposure to board-level reporting early in your career
25 days' holiday plus bank holidays
