Harper May is working with a well-funded, founder-led technology business specialising in B2B SaaS. The company has scaled to circa £20m ARR over the past three years and is now moving into a phase of disciplined, sustainable growth. The finance function is expanding to support this shift – moving beyond transactional reporting into deeper analysis of unit economics, customer profitability, and operational leverage. They are now recruiting a Management Accountant to build out their planning and reporting capability.
The Role
Reporting to the Finance Director, you will own the preparation and narrative around monthly management accounts, working closely with the leadership team to surface trends, risks, and opportunities. You will be the primary interface between finance and the commercial side of the business, translating data into the stories that drive decisions. This is a role that combines rigour with commercial curiosity.
Key Responsibilities
- Produce monthly management accounts with clear variance analysis and supporting commentary for the leadership team
- Build and maintain financial models to support rolling forecasts and scenario planning
- Monitor customer acquisition costs, lifetime value, and churn trends to inform product and sales strategy
- Partner with operations to track headcount costs, overhead allocation, and departmental performance
- Own balance sheet reconciliations, inter-company transactions, and month-end close controls
- Streamline reporting processes and improve the quality of management information available to stakeholders
What we are looking for
- ACA, ACCA, or CIMA qualified or actively working towards qualification
- Hands-on experience in financial planning, management accounting, or business partnering roles within a technology or SaaS business
- Proficiency in Excel and financial modelling; experience with accounting software and BI tools a plus
- Analytical thinker who can explain complex financial concepts in plain language to non-finance audiences
- Comfort with ambiguity and the ability to work independently in a growing, evolving business
