Management Accountant

Location: Elephant & Castle, London. Hybrid, minimum 4 days in the office
Salary: Up to £50,000 per annum, depending on experience
Hours: Full-time (40 hours per week) 

Join the Gymbox Finance team as our Management Accountant, taking ownership of the monthly P&L and balance sheet and turning them into accurate, timely management accounts. You will provide the numbers and insight that feed our budgeting process, keep day-to-day finance operations running smoothly, and act as the go-to finance contact for our club managers. 

This is a hands-on role in a multi-site business, ideal for a part-qualified accountant who wants broad exposure and a real impact on how our clubs perform. 

Key Responsibilities 

• Take ownership of the P&L and balance sheet, producing accurate and timely monthly management accounts and explaining key movements to the Head of Finance. 
• Prepare and post period-end journals, including accruals and prepayments, and play an active part in the month-end close and day-to-day finance operations. 
• Complete balance sheet reconciliations each month and ensure reconciling items are investigated and corrected promptly. 
• Provide financial inputs to the annual budget and ongoing forecasts, including actuals, trends and variance analysis, working with the Finance Manager and club operations. 
• Act as the first point of contact for club managers, answering their financial queries clearly and promptly and helping them understand their club’s financial performance. 
• Support the year-end audit, liaising directly with auditors and providing schedules and explanations as required. 
• Contribute to ad hoc financial projects and continuous improvement initiatives across the finance function. 

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) 

• Management accounts (P&L and balance sheet) delivered accurately and to the agreed month-end timetable. 
• Balance sheet reconciliations completed monthly, with reconciling items cleared promptly. 
• Club manager queries responded to promptly and to a high standard. 
• Budget inputs delivered on time and accurately. 

Skills, Knowledge and Experience 

Essential 

• Part-qualified accountant (ACCA/CIMA). 
• Experience working outside of practice in a multi-site company. 
• Experience preparing management accounts, including the P&L and balance sheet. 
• Strong Microsoft Office skills, particularly Excel (e.g. VLOOKUP and SUMIF). 
• Proactive, hands-on approach with strong attention to detail. 
• Excellent communication skills, with the confidence to support and advise non-finance colleagues such as club managers. 

Desirable 

• Experience using NetSuite. 
• A keen interest in the health & fitness, leisure or hospitality industry. 

We Offer 

• Participation in development programmes (Host, Hospitality Manager and Club Manager). 
• 25 days’ holiday plus 8 bank holidays (based on full-time employment). 
• Holiday exchange scheme. 
• Pension plan to support your future.
