Temporary Management Accountant

Management Accountant (Temporary - Approx. 3 Months, Potential to Go Permanent)
Location: Central Bristol (Hybrid - 3 days in the office)

Morgan McKinley is supporting a long-standing Bristol SME with the appointment of an experienced Management Accountant who can join them on a 3-month interim contract. For the right person, there's every chance this could convert into a permanent opportunity - but if you're simply looking for a solid contract to get stuck into, that works too.

We're looking for someone who can start within a maximum of 2 weeks' notice and who has genuine end-to-end management accounts experience within an SME environment. The finance team is hands-on, supportive, and busy, so you'll need to be confident picking work up quickly and running with it.

What you'll be getting involved in:

Full ownership of monthly management accounts, including journals, accruals, and prepayments

Balance sheet reconciliations and maintaining accurate financial records

Variance analysis and commentary to support senior leadership

Cashflow forecasting and monitoring

Support with budgeting and forecasting cycles

Working closely with operational teams to understand cost drivers

Helping streamline processes and improve reporting where needed

Month-end close responsibilities from start to finish

What we're looking for:

Strong SME background - you're used to rolling your sleeves up

Comfortable taking full ownership of the management accounts process

Able to start within 2 weeks

Confident working in a hybrid setup (3 days in the Bristol office)

Someone who enjoys being embedded in a business and adding value quickly
