    Are you an experienced Management Accountant looking for a role that offers both impact and flexibility? 

    Our client is recruiting an additional person to be based at their Penrith office, on a Part-Time basis, up to and around 24 hours per week..

    • Supporting financial analysis, forecasting, and ad hoc projects

    • Month end responsibility; journal posting, accruals and prepayments

    • ACA, ACCA, CIMA, AAT (qualified/part-qualified) or relevant hands on experience

    • Proven management accounting experience, ideally in a group setting

    • Strong skills in Xero, Excel

    • Excellent analytical and communication skills, with the confidence to challenge figures and influence outcomes

    • A collaborative, business-partnering approach — able to build relationships and add value across the organisation

    • Adaptability and a change mindset to thrive in a fast-moving, innovative business

    What’s on Offer

    • Flexible working pattern (up to 24 hours) across 3–5 days, to fit around childcare, caring responsibilities or other commitments

    • Competitive salary (dependent on experience) up to £45,000

    • Salary sacrifice pension scheme (including employer NI saving and contributions on total salary)

    • 25 days annual leave + bank holidays (pro-rata)

    • Access to online training and development resources

    • A supportive and inclusive team culture


    💡 This role is a fantastic opportunity for an ambitious accountant who enjoys analysing, interpreting, and challenging figures to influence decisions and add value — all while benefiting from the flexibility of part-time hours.
