This candidate offers 8 years of experience as a Management Accountant, primarily within FMCG. Their recent work has included building forecasts, preparing management reports and analysing operating costs, with regular responsibility for management reporting and budgeting. They are comfortable using NetSuite, Power BI and Oracle, and are confident learning new systems when processes or reporting requirements change. Colleagues would describe them as clear in communication and confident with stakeholders, with a consistent focus on accuracy, follow-through and clear communication. One of their stronger recent contributions involved work that created clearer management dashboards, 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 business partnering and variance analysis, and tends to approach problems by understanding the detail first before deciding on a practical next step. They have also had exposure to education, giving them a useful ability to adapt to different operating environments, systems and stakeholder expectations. They are now looking for a role offering a mix of autonomy and support. In their next move, greater responsibility 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.
