Talent Accountancy & Finance are delighted to be supporting a thriving, well‑established business in Manchester City Centre with the recruitment of an Assistant Management Accountant.

This is a brilliant development opportunity for someone looking to step away from purely transactional finance and build strong, hands‑on management accounting experience. You’ll work closely alongside an experienced Management Accountant, gaining exposure to month end, reporting, and analysis, with genuine scope to progress as the business continues to grow.

It’s a varied, fast‑paced role with plenty of responsibility, visibility, and project exposure - a genuine CV‑building opportunity for an ambitious part‑qualified accountant.

• Preparation of balance sheet reconciliations and investigation of variances
• Assisting with the production of monthly management accounts
• Producing weekly profit and performance reports, with commentary across departments
• Maintaining the fixed asset register and posting monthly depreciation
• Assisting with VAT returns and supporting analysis
• Managing corporate credit card reconciliations and expense postings
• Supporting audit processes and preparing lead schedules
• Assisting with ad hoc finance projects as the business evolves

• Ambitious and keen to develop into a Management Accountant role
• Comfortable in a busy, hands‑on finance environment
• Positive, proactive and solutions‑focused mindset
• Strong Excel capability (VLOOKUPs, pivot tables as a minimum)
• Studying towards AAT / ACCA / CIMA

• Salary of £28,000 - £35,000, depending on experience
• Full study support
• Excellent exposure to month end and commercial finance
• Supportive team environment with strong mentorship
• Clear progression and development opportunities

Even if you don’t tick every box, strong attitude and potential are just as important as experience - so please get in touch for a confidential conversation if this sounds like the right next step.
