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.
