This Management Accountant has 2 years of hands-on experience working across education environments. Their recent work has included preparing management reports, supporting budgets and partnering with managers, with regular responsibility for business partnering and budgeting. They are comfortable using NetSuite, Excel 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 identified cost savings, while they also contributed to initiatives that improved forecast accuracy. 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 cost analysis and forecasting, and tends to approach problems by understanding the detail first before deciding on a practical next step. They have also had exposure to technology, giving them a useful ability to adapt to different operating environments, systems and stakeholder expectations. They are now looking for a contract role with meaningful project work. In their next move, a business with strong leadership is an important consideration. They are open to hybrid working where the role allows it and value clear expectations around performance. In interview, they present as considered and straightforward, with a preference for giving practical examples rather than overstating their experience.
