We’re delighted to be working in partnership with an award-winning hospitality Group as they look to appoint an experienced Management Accountant for their central Finance function here in Edinburgh. The business has grown organically over the past 5yrs with plans in place to open further venues in the near future. Aside from the overall success of the business itself, they’ve built a fantastic culture and are renowned for being a great place to work.

The role itself has been heavily influenced by the growth of the business and we’re looking for an experienced Management Accountant who’ll come with a fairly broad skill-set. It’ll be quite a hands-on role, with a nice mix of monthly reporting, while also providing key support to a wide range of stakeholders across the business. You’ll have 4 members of staff under you and the successful individual will have a keen interest in supporting and developing the Finance team, while also supporting on internal projects to improve efficiencies within the Finance department.

Key responsibilities:

• Preparation and review of management accounts for multiple venues within the Group, analysing the financial performance and providing meaningful commentary
• Working closely with Operations and Venue Management to ensure financial data is accurate and aligned with the business objectives
• Supporting the Finance team with finance related queries from Operations and Venue Management, ensuring end of week variances are fully investigated, followed up on and reported to relevant parties
• Preparation, review and submission of quarterly VAT returns for the estate
• Responsible for the accounting preparation, VAT submission and year-end accounts for smaller connected business entities
• Processing, monitoring and reporting on head office expense management system
• Supporting energy consumption agenda
• Assisting with the production of statutory year-end accounts and liaising with external auditors during year-end audit
• Supervision and development of the Finance team
• Supporting the Financial Controller and Finance Director with ad hoc projects

The ideal candidate for the role will either be fully qualified (3-5yrs PQE) or Qualified by Experience with considerable experience gained within a similar role. Aligned to this, you will have a strong background within the aforementioned key areas of responsibility including previous staff management experience. You’ll possess excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to enhance working relationships across the Finance team and key stakeholders across the wider business.

This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced Management Accountant, where you’ll play a key role in not only the Finance function itself but across a wide range of operational duties and responsibilities at what is an exciting time for the Group.

If this opportunity is of interest to you or you would simply like to discuss it in more in detail, we would ask that you submit your application at the earliest opportunity.
