Management Accountant - 6-month hourly rate contract

Job description

About the Role

Our client is a large, complex organisation currently navigating a critical budgeting period. An opportunity has arisen for an experienced Management Accountant to join a well-established team on a contract basis, supporting business continuity during a period of transition.

This role will see you partnering closely with stakeholders across a portfolio, contributing to budget development and supporting the consolidation of portfolio and divisional budget submissions.

While initially engaged on a contract basis through to the end of February 2027, there is strong potential for this position to become permanent for the right candidate.

You will join a team comprising a Senior Management Accountant, two Management Accountants and a Budget Analyst, forming part of a broader finance function of approximately ten staff.

Key Responsibilities
  • Support portfolio budgeting and forecasting activities, with a strong focus on the current budget cycle
  • Provide financial advice and commentary to portfolio stakeholders
  • Ensure the accuracy and integrity of month-end financial results
  • Lead client meetings and deliver clear, well-articulated financial commentary
  • Develop a strong understanding of underlying business operations to identify opportunities to add value
  • Prepare insightful analysis on key financial drivers and performance outcomes
  • Communicate findings and recommendations effectively to a range of stakeholders
  • Identify and contribute to process improvement opportunities and small-scale projects
  • Build effective working relationships across a broad and complex stakeholder group
  • Support portfolio planning and strategic initiatives through financial analysis
About You
  • Strong management accounting experience, ideally gained in a complex, multi-stakeholder environment
  • CA/CPA qualified, or well progressed towards completion
  • Advanced Excel skills are essential; intermediate Power BI capability is highly desirable
  • Experience with Oracle and Hyperion advantageous, though not essential, as training will be provided
  • Proven ability to build relationships and influence budget holders and stakeholders
  • A collaborative approach and genuine interest in contributing positively to team culture
  • Strong communication skills, with the confidence to lead client meetings and deliver commentary clearly
This is an excellent opportunity for a management accountant seeking genuine stakeholder exposure, involvement in a significant budgeting cycle, and the potential for a fixed term contract to evolve into a permanent role.
