Head of Management Accounts

About the Role

We are seeking a strategic leader to oversee the Management Accounts function, driving accuracy and efficiency in our financial reporting. This role is pivotal in delivering timely month-end close processes and producing performance analysis that informs data-driven decision-making across the organization.

You will manage the consolidation of the UK P&L and oversee balance sheet reporting, ensuring strict compliance with SOX and internal controls. Beyond technical execution, you will design and standardize processes to drive automation and continuous improvement. A key part of this position involves line managing and mentoring a team of three Senior Management Accountants while coordinating the wider management accounts team to support annual and quarterly budgeting cycles and statutory audits.

About the Team

You will collaborate closely with Senior Management Accountants, Finance Business Partners, the UK Financial Controller, and the Financial Accounting & Tax Manager. Your work will also interface with the Transactional Finance Team Manager and external partners, including statutory auditors, suppliers, and banking providers.

Our Commitment to Diversity and Inclusion

Maximus is committed to developing, maintaining, and supporting a culture of diversity, equity, and inclusion throughout the recruitment process. We understand that feeling included has a dramatic impact on personal well-being and are working to ensure that no job applicant receives less favourable treatment due to any personal characteristic.

We are a Disability Confident Leader, thanks to our commitment to the recruitment, retention, and career development of people with disabilities and long-term conditions. The Disability Confident scheme includes a guaranteed interview for any applicant with a disability who meets the minimum requirements for a job. When you complete your job application, you will find a question asking if you would like to apply under the Disability Confident Guaranteed Interview Scheme. If you feel that you have a disability and apply under this scheme, providing that you meet the essential criteria for the job, you will then be invited for an interview. Your Guaranteed Interview application will only be shared with the hiring manager and the local resourcing team. Where reasonable, Maximus will review and consider adjustments for those applicants who express a requirement for them during the recruitment process.
