Job Title: Management Accountant Salary: £32,000 £35,000 Location: North London
We’re searching for a Management Accountant who enjoys getting under the skin of a business, not just producing a set of figures. If you like working closely with decision-makers, turning raw data into meaningful insight, and having a genuine impact on how clients run their businesses, this is worth reading on.

It’s a role for someone who wants their work to be noticed and relied on.
About the Client The position is with a long-established accountancy practice in North Finchley known for its hands-on, straight-talking approach. They support a wide mix of small and medium-sized businesses with everything from annual accounts to day-to-day financial guidance.

You’ll be joining a firm that looks after its clients and its staff with equal care.
