Commercial Management Accountant

LOCATION: Hull

SALARY: Competitive

Ideal Heating, part of Groupe Atlantic, is looking for a commercially focused Management Accountant to support its finance team and wider business as it continues to grow.

Reporting to the Head of Financial Reporting, you’ll work closely with operational teams and senior leaders to monitor performance, identify opportunities to improve and encourage best practice across the function. It’s a varied, hands-on role where strong accounting skills go hand in hand with commercial awareness.

WHY THIS ROLE STANDS OUT

Join an established heating giant with deep roots in Hull, operating from two local sites and a newly purpose-built R&D facility.

Be a part of the journey as it builds on its long history in gas heating and moves into the heat pump market, playing a part in the UK’s shift towards lower-carbon heating.

Help improve month-end reporting as the business continues to grow, making a visible contribution to how the wider organisation uses its financial information.

Work across multiple entities and alongside operational teams, gaining broad commercial exposure beyond the finance function.

Build your career in an established company that continues to invest in its people, products and local operations.

WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING

• Produce accurate and timely management accounts across multiple entities.
• Provide clear financial insight and commentary to senior management.
• Analyse financial and operational performance, identifying trends and opportunities for improvement.
• Manage the balance sheet and complete monthly reconciliations.
• Prepare quarterly group financial submissions in line with reporting rules and local GAAP requirements.
• Produce quarterly profit and loss, balance sheet and cash flow forecasts.
• Maintain customer master data and pricing integrity in SAP, supporting the sales team and external customers with pricing queries.
• Support the Head of Financial Reporting with other ad hoc financial requests.

WHAT YOU’LL BRING

• CIMA or ACCA qualification, or equivalent experience.
• Strong commercial awareness and analytical skills.
• Advanced Excel skills.
• The ability to interpret data and turn it into useful business insight.
• A proactive approach to problem-solving and taking initiative.
• Clear communication skills, with the confidence to challenge and influence stakeholders.
• The ability to work well under pressure and manage competing priorities.

WHAT YOU’LL GET

• A varied, commercially focused role with exposure to teams across the business.
• The opportunity to contribute to reporting improvements and support continued growth.
• The chance to turn financial analysis into practical insight for senior leaders.
• A role combining hands-on accounting with wider business involvement.
