Management Accountant

Budgeting & forecasting: You'll lead the annual budget process and rolling forecast cycles, working with department leaders to build realistic plans and keep them current as the business evolves. You'll formulate and refine our budgetary and accounting policies as we grow, and produce long-range profit and cash flow forecasts that inform how leadership allocates resources.

Financial reporting & performance analysis: You'll prepare accurate, timely financial reports and management accounts for leadership, translating income statements, balance sheets, and variance analysis into a clear view of business performance. You'll provide assurance that our financial reporting is accurate and compliant with relevant statutory and accounting standards.

Cost management & pricing: You'll examine operating costs and review income and expenditure across the business, identifying opportunities to improve efficiency. You'll conduct pricing and sensitivity analysis to support commercial decisions, and benchmark our financial performance against industry standards.

Financial modelling & business partnering: You'll build and maintain financial models supporting valuation, capital investment appraisal, and expansion decisions, and appraise the cash flow and financial risk of proposed projects. You'll act as a trusted finance partner to non-finance stakeholders, explaining the story behind the numbers.

Systems, controls & compliance: You'll help introduce and maintain accounting systems and internal controls, ensuring our financial processes scale cleanly as Okendo grows, and support the maintenance of accurate financial records and reporting compliance.
