Management Accountant / Finance Business Partner

Blackpool | £45,000 | Temporary with potential to become permanent

Are you a Management Accountant who enjoys getting involved in the wider business, rather than just producing the numbers?

I’m working with a well-established organisation in Blackpool that is looking to strengthen its finance team.

This is a varied, hands-on role where you’ll work closely with the Financial Controller and Finance Manager, as well as supporting managers across the business.

It’s a great opportunity for someone who enjoys combining strong technical accounting skills with commercial business partnering. You’ll be helping managers understand their financial performance, identify areas for improvement and make informed business decisions.

What will you be doing?

There’s plenty of variety to the role, including:

• Preparing monthly management accounts, including accruals and prepayments.
• Working with managers to review costs, performance and variances.
• Producing regular KPI reports and providing financial commentary.
• Supporting the annual budgeting process and ongoing forecasts.
• Preparing monthly management information for senior management.
• Reconciling income and expenditure across different areas of the business.
• Completing balance sheet reconciliations and maintaining fixed asset records.
• Preparing quarterly VAT returns.
• Supporting year-end accounts and audit preparation.
• Assisting with bank reconciliations, payment runs and other financial control activities.

What are they looking for?

Ideally, you’ll have:

• Part-qualified CIMA / ACCA or be a qualified AAT.
• Good experience in management accounts and month-end processes.
• Strong Excel skills and confidence working with financial data.
• Good analytical and problem-solving skills.
• The ability to communicate financial information to non-finance colleagues.
• A proactive, hands-on approach and the confidence to work with different stakeholders.

Experience within a multi-site or commercially focused organisation would be beneficial.

Knowledge of Microsoft Dynamics / Business Central, Power BI or similar reporting systems would also be advantageous.

What’s on offer?

• Salary of £45,000.
• 25 days holiday plus 8 bank holidays.
• 37.5-hour working week.
• Blackpool location.
• Immediate start.
• Initially temporary, with the potential to become permanent.
