This role sits at the centre of finance. Itโ€™s about control, clarity, and not letting poor detail slip through.

Youโ€™ll be working for a manufacturing and distribution company in Ossett, with a long heritage and a clear focus on doing one thing well. Operating internationally, the business designs, produces and supplies specialist products into commercial markets.

They combine in-house manufacturing with a well-established distribution network, supplying a broad customer base. Their model is straightforward: develop products that meet real market demand, back them with reliable operations, and generate steady, sustainable cash flow.

What’s the role:ย 

Youโ€™ll have responsibility for producing a full set of consolidated management accounts.

Including:

  • Stock reconciliations and movement journals (shared where appropriate, owned in outcome)
  • Review of journals prepared by the assistant accountant
  • Commission calculations that stand up to scrutiny
  • GRNI, intercompany entries, and recharges done cleanly
  • Balance sheet reconciliations that tie and make sense
  • Review of expenses with a sharp eye on VAT and coding
  • Ownership of the expenses system (users, rates, controls)
  • Fixed asset oversight and capitalisation
  • UK and international VAT returns
  • Audit support without last-minute scrambling
  • Support budgeting and rolling forecasts
  • Build longer-term cash flow views

Variance analysis wonโ€™t be a tick-box exercise. Expectation is clear explanations against prior year and budget โ€“ itโ€™s not vague commentary.

What do you need:

  • A Part Qualified (or QBE) Management Accountant with experience in the manufacturing sector
  • Attention to detail without losing pace
  • Confidence to question and challenge
  • Ability to prioritise when everything feels urgent

What do you get:ย
