The Role

Location: Leeds (3 days in the office)
Type: Full Time
Contract type: Permanent

Application: Closing date Sunday 17 May

We are looking for an Management Accountant to join our UK -based US Finance Team! Reporting to the UK-based US Finance Manager, you’ll take ownership of the management accounts process for the US entity, working alongside both UK finance colleagues and US operational stakeholders. It’s a high-visibility role with genuine scope to influence how the function develops as the US estate scales.

This is a Hybrid working role. This will be based in our Leeds office 3 days a week.

Key duties will include:

Month-End Close & Reporting

Full ownership of the US month-end management accounts: accruals, prepayments, and balance sheet reconciliations prepared to a high standard and on time
Variance analysis against budget and prior year with clear, commercially-grounded commentary for the Finance Manager and business stakeholders
Reconciliation of financial data against operational reporting to ensure completeness and integrity
Support the US year-end audit process, including preparation of schedules and liaison with auditors

Budgeting & Forecasting Support

Provide accurate, timely schedules and underlying data to support the FP&A team through the US annual budget and 4+8 and 8+4 reforecast cycles
Maintain site-level actuals and reconciled figures to ensure FP&A are working from clean, reliable numbers
Assist with monthly cash flow reporting for the US entity

Business Partnering & Compliance

Regular liaison with US operational teams to explain financial performance and support decision-making
Day-to-day collaboration with the US accounts payable team on invoice approval and payment processes
Support US-specific regulatory reporting requirements
Ad hoc financial analysis as directed by the Finance Manager or senior stakeholders

The Person

A formal qualification isn’t a prerequisite — we’re hiring on the strength of what you’ve actually done. You’ll need a demonstrable track record of delivering in a management accounts environment, with the technical ability and commercial curiosity to thrive in a fast-growing setup.

Essential

Proven end-to-end ownership of a month-end management accounts process — not just inputting, but reviewing, reconciling, and standing behind the numbers
Strong Excel skills: large datasets, clean reporting output — you know your way around a balance sheet reconciliation without being told how
High attention to detail and the discipline to self-review before anything goes out the door
Ability to work autonomously, manage competing deadlines, and escalate the right things at the right time
Comfortable working with remote stakeholders across different time zones
Intellectually curious — you ask why, not just what

Desirable

Exposure to US GAAP or prior experience supporting a non-UK entity
Experience with Microsoft D365 Finance and/or Power BI
Background in a multi-site, high-growth, or retail/leisure business

A formal accounting qualification (ACCA, ACA, CIMA) is not required for this role.
