An experienced Management Accountant, this candidate brings 18 years of experience gained in manufacturing. Their recent work has included partnering with managers, supporting budgets and analysing operating costs, with regular responsibility for business partnering and forecasting. They are comfortable using Excel, SAP and Oracle, and are confident learning new systems when processes or reporting requirements change. Colleagues would describe them as collaborative, approachable and well organised, with a consistent focus on accuracy, follow-through and clear communication. One of their stronger recent contributions involved work that improved forecast accuracy, while they also contributed to initiatives that identified cost savings. They are used to working with managers, colleagues and external stakeholders, and can adjust their communication style depending on the audience and urgency of the issue. The candidate is particularly strong in budgeting and cost analysis, and tends to approach problems by understanding the detail first before deciding on a practical next step. They have also had exposure to FMCG, giving them a useful ability to adapt to different operating environments, systems and stakeholder expectations. They are now looking for a permanent full-time opportunity. In their next move, work that offers more visible impact is an important consideration. They value a supportive manager, clear priorities and a team that communicates well. In interview, they present as considered and straightforward, with a preference for giving practical examples rather than overstating their experience.
