Management Accountant

Fully remote role

Digital Appointments is working with a growing multi-entity healthcare organisation to appoint a Management Accountant into a newly created role.
  
The group has expanded quickly and they have outgrown the current setup, and they need a qualified accountant to take ownership of group reporting, bring structure to the month-end process, and give the leadership team proper visibility on how each site is performing.
  
This is a role with real scope. You'll inherit a bookkeeper to supervise and develop, and the business has been open from the outset that they want this person to grow into Financial Controller and build a team beneath them.
  
What you'll be doing

Owning month-end close across eight entities
Producing consolidated management accounts, including P&L, balance sheet and cash flow
Managing intercompany accounting, recharges and reconciliations
Delivering site-level performance reporting and margin analysis
Building budgets and rolling forecasts, with clear variance commentary
Supervising and developing the group bookkeeper
Improving finance processes, controls and systems as the group scales
Preparing VAT returns and year-end files, and managing the relationship with the external accountants
What they're looking for

Qualified accountant — ACA, ACCA or CIMA (strong QBE candidates with the right group background will be considered
Proven multi-entity experience, including intercompany and consolidation
Experience mentoring, reviewing or supervising a junior colleague
Strong Excel skills and comfort working across multiple systems
Able to translate the numbers for a non-finance audience
Self-motivated, with the discipline to work well remotely   
Experience within healthcare, veterinary, or another multi-site service group would be an advantage, but it isn't essential — the multi-entity and supervisory experience matters more.
