Up to £50,000 salary
Telford

Are you a newly qualified or soon-to-be qualified accountant looking for your first move into a truly commercial, business-facing role? This is an excellent opportunity to step into a Site Accountant position with a clear progression pathway, where you’ll gain hands-on operational experience, exposure to senior stakeholders, and the chance to shape financial performance in a fast-paced, multi-site environment.

You’ll be supported by an experienced finance team committed to your ongoing development, giving you the tools, mentorship, and exposure needed to accelerate your career.

What You’ll Be Doing Own Your Site
  • Take responsibility for financial reporting and performance at a key operational site
  • Partner closely with site leadership to influence decisions and drive performance
  • Learn how finance directly impacts operational success
Develop Commercial Insight
  • Deliver weekly and monthly reporting (P&L, KPI analysis, balance sheet)
  • Provide meaningful commentary and actionable insights
  • Support decision-making through analysis and business partnering
Build Strong Financial Foundations
  • Strengthen financial controls and ensure compliance with company standards
  • Maintain balance sheet integrity, including accrals and provisions
Drive Performance & Efficiency
  • Support budget holders with spend and cost analysis
  • Identify opportunities for cost savings and operational improvement
Get Operational Exposure
  • Gain experience in stock and inventory accounting
  • Work alongside operational teams to understand the full business cycle
  • Develop exposure across multiple sites
What We’re Looking For Essential
  • Recently qualified or finalist (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent)
  • Experience in finance or management accounting
  • Strong analytical mindset with a desire to learn
  • Confident communicator with non-finance stakeholders
  • Ambitious and keen to progress quickly
Desirable
  • Exposure to operational or site-based finance
  • Experience with budgeting, forecasting, or stock
  • Strong Excel or ERP system knowledge
Working Pattern & Flexibility We offer a structured but flexible hybrid working model designed to support both development and work-life balance:
  • 3 days per week on-site in Telford (your primary base)
  • 1 day per week at another site, giving you broader exposure across the business
  • 1 day per week working from home
  • With workflow flexibility, some weeks can allow up to 2 days working from home
This balance ensures you gain valuable face-to-face operational experience while maintaining flexibility.

What You’ll Get in Return
  • Clear progression pathway within a growing, multi-site business
  • Structured development, mentorship, and exposure to senior stakeholders
  • Early responsibility and the chance to make a visible impact
  • Broad experience across sites and functions
  • A supportive environment focused on accelerating your career
About You

You’re proactive, commercially curious, and ready to step beyond technical accounting into a role where you can influence, challenge, and grow.

Additional Information
  • Occasional travel required as part of multi-site exposure
  • Hands-on role with close operational engagement
