An experienced Management Accountant, this candidate brings 14 years of experience gained in FMCG. Their recent work has included supporting budgets, partnering with managers and analysing operating costs, with regular responsibility for forecasting and variance analysis. They are comfortable using Power BI, SAP and Excel, and are confident learning new systems when processes or reporting requirements change. Colleagues would describe them as adaptable, hands-on and comfortable with change, 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 supported better commercial decisions. 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 business partnering, 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 permanent role in a collaborative team. In their next move, work that offers more visible impact is an important consideration. They value stability, professional standards and a workplace where people follow through on commitments. In interview, they present as considered and straightforward, with a preference for giving practical examples rather than overstating their experience.
