Management Accountant

Management Accountant = fin-operator

Role Summary

This is no ordinary finance role… If you’re after normality, this isn’t for you!

We’re transforming the finance function into a value adding machine, powered by scalable systems and processes, and led by our superb fin-rockstars. Say goodbye to functions that simply produce numbers and say hello to proactive insight and support that fuels growth.

As one of our highly efficient fin-operators you’ll make processing the day-to-day transactions a breeze. Manual archaic processes will very quickly become a thing of the past! This role is all about embracing and leveraging technology and software to create beautifully efficient and effective finance functions.

You’ll be working across a portfolio of companies, likely to be in different industries and at different stages of their journey. One week that might be two startup’s, the next a balance between an established SME and an NGO. You’ll be able to make a real impact with each and every organisation you work with and be a key player in the finance function.

What’s also hugely significant about this role is being a team player and a strong communicator. This is as much about people as it is about an awesome finance function. You’ll need to be a superhero strength when it comes to organising your time and having the agility, focus and attention to detail to enable you to work across more than one company in a given week. 

Three reasons this role is great

1. You’ll be at the forefront of innovation in the finance function and make an impact to every organisation you support. You’ll be adding value, not just producing numbers!
2. You’ll gain extensive experience across a wide variety of industries and sectors working in some of the most exciting startups and impact-driven organisations.
3. The pace at which your career in finance will progress will be quicker here and we will work with you on a purposeful career development plan, with on-going mentoring.
