Assistant Management Accountant

Three Bridges Recruitment is partnering with a leading UK-based technology organisation to recruit an Interim Assistant Management Accountant based in Edinburgh.

This is an urgent requirement due to a team gap, and our client is looking for someone who can start quickly and keep the management accounts function running smoothly during a handover period. If you are immediately available and confident operating in a fast-paced finance team, this could be an excellent short-term opportunity.

• Immediate start with handover from outgoing team member
• Hybrid working model (Monday in office essential)
• High visibility role within a supportive finance team
• Initial contract for approx. 8 weeks with potential opportunity to be considered for a permanent role

You will be joining a collaborative and sociable open-plan environment, working closely with experienced finance leaders who adopt a hands‑off, trusting management style while remaining approachable and supportive.

Reporting into senior finance leadership, you will support the management accounts function and ensure reporting deadlines are met during a busy period.

Key responsibilities will include:

• Supporting the monthly management accounts process, including posting journals, accruals and prepayments
• Maintaining and reviewing the general ledger
• Preparing balance sheet reconciliations, including bank and intercompany reconciliations
• Assisting with VAT returns
• Supporting actual vs budget analysis and updating reporting schedules
• Producing ad hoc analysis as required
• Liaising with transactional finance and procurement teams to ensure accurate coding

The priority for this contract is stability and continuity. You will be expected to take ownership quickly, ask the right questions, and keep reporting cycles on track with minimal supervision.

To be successful in this interim role, you will:

• Have experience in a similar management accounts role
• Be confident posting journals and preparing accruals and prepayments
• Have strong Excel skills, including pivot tables and complex formulas
• Be comfortable working with finance systems (Net Suite experience beneficial but not essential)
• Be organised, detail‑oriented and able to meet deadlines
• Be proactive, communicative and comfortable working in a team‑based office environment

This role will suit someone who enjoys getting stuck in, can hit the ground running, and takes pride in delivering accurate and timely financial information.

At Three Bridges Recruitment, two of our values are striving for brilliance and relatability. We want every applicant to receive an excellent experience and ensure that this opportunity is right for you.

If you are immediately available and interested in this interim opportunity, please apply with your most up-to-date CV or contact us for a confidential discussion.
