Base Pay Range

Management Accountant | Manchester City Centre | Hybrid (3 days in office) | £50,000 - £55,000

Forge Talent is partnering with a PE‑backed Professional Services business with a strong presence in the North West. The business is on a strong growth journey, through both organic growth and acquisitions.

Reporting to the Finance Director, this role has broad responsibility for financial reporting, analysis, and control across the business. You’ll take ownership of P&L and balance sheet reporting, deliver insightful performance analysis, and maintain strong financial governance. Combining hands‑on controllership with commercial visibility, you’ll play a key role in ensuring accurate reporting, efficient working capital management, and informed decision‑making across the organisation.

Responsibilities

  • Prepare detailed P&L analysis by location and maintain profit files to deliver actionable performance insights.
  • Maintain and update P&L reporting following month‑end close, including LTM (Last Twelve Months) and YTD (Year‑to‑Date) performance views.
  • Take full responsibility for all balance sheet bookings, reviews, and reconciliations, ensuring completeness and accuracy across all categories.
  • Drive the calculation, reporting, and visualisation of key financial metrics (including Lock Up and working capital analytics) to enhance decision‑making and efficiency.
  • Support preparation of the monthly Board Report, ensuring financial accuracy, performance clarity, and consistency with business KPIs.
  • Maintain up‑to‑date and accurate WIP and Lock Up dashboards across all client engagements.
  • Prepare and review aged debt and aged WIP working papers, investigating and resolving aged balances in collaboration with operational teams.
  • Support credit control and debtor management activities to optimise cash flow and reduce Lock Up days.
  • Maintain and update the master staff file for use in forecasting and workforce cost analysis.
  • Update the LTM EBITDA file and ensure data integrity following month‑end postings.
  • Maintain Fixed Asset registers and ensure precise depreciation calculations.
  • Own prepayments and accruals schedules, including holiday pay accruals and related journal postings.
  • Assist in the integration of acquisitions from both a reporting and consolidation perspective.

Requirements

  • Qualified Accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA) or Finalist.
  • Experience with end‑to‑end management accounts preparation.
  • Background within Professional Services or Service‑based environments is highly desirable.
  • Experience with Power BI or similar tools (e.g. Tableau) is also desirable.
