Head of Management Accounts

About the Role

As the leader of the Management Accounts function, you will oversee the full month-end close to deliver accurate and timely reporting. This role is pivotal in producing performance and variance analysis that offers strategic insights to support data-driven decision-making across the organization. You will manage the consolidation of the UK P&L for management reporting and oversee balance sheet reporting, ensuring strict accuracy and compliance with SOX and internal controls.

Beyond technical execution, you will design, enhance, and standardize processes, driving efficiency through automation and continuous improvement. You will also support annual and quarterly budgeting and forecasting cycles, as well as statutory year-end audits and SOX activities.

Team & Culture

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.
