Management Accountant | Transport & Infrastructure | Central London (Hybrid) | £55,000 - £60,000 Robert Half are partnering with a major operator of one of London's rail networks to recruit a hands-on Management Accountant. This is a full management accounting role with complete ownership of the P&L and month-end process for your area. It's a true management accounting position with significant business partnering exposure - you'll work closely with operational budget holders, including the Head of Operations, challenging spend, influencing decisions, and presenting your numbers confidently to the Finance Director. Because this is a cost-focused business, there is no revenue element - the focus is on controlling costs, analysing variances, and managing spend effectively. You'll work with large volumes of data, complex cost structures, and regular overtime analysis across a high-headcount environment, so experience in a larger or complex organisation is essential. Alongside a strong finance team and a visible role in the business, you'll also enjoy generous benefits and development opportunities. 📊 About the Position You will be responsible for:<ul><li>Full ownership of the P&L and month-end process for your area. * Preparing accurate management accounts with clear variance analysis and actionable insight. * Partnering with operational teams to control spend, analyse costs, and support commercially sound decisions. * Supporting quarterly forecasts, annual budgets, and business planning cycles. * Processing accruals, provisions, and reconciling key control accounts. * Producing ad hoc analysis to support operational and strategic decision-making.</li></ul> 📋 What We're Looking For <ul><li>Strong preference for a qualified accountant (ACCA or CIMA), but part-qualified candidates with extensive management accounting experience of 5+ years will also be considered. * Proven experience in a large or complex organisation managing full P&L and month-end processes. * Strong business partnering skills - able to challenge senior stakeholders and influence operational decisions. * Excellent analytical skills with the ability to handle high volumes of data and present insights clearly. * Attention to detail, accuracy, and process discipline. * Proactive, commercially minded, and comfortable in a fast-paced environment. * This is not an entry-level role - we are looking for candidates with significant hands-on management accounting experience. * Experience from larger, complex organisations handling high-volume financial data is essential. Candidates from smaller organisations are unlikely to meet the requirements.</li></ul> 🤝 Here's What's Waiting for You <ul><li>Hybrid working - flexible office/home split. * A visible, high-impact role with direct influence over operational spend and decision-making. * The chance to develop your business partnering skills and work closely with senior operational and finance leaders. * A collaborative, supportive finance team that encourages development and progression. * Exposure to complex, high-volume financial data and the opportunity to bring structure, insight, and efficiency to the business.</li></ul> 💼 Why This Role Could Be Your Next Move This is an excellent opportunity for a Management Accountant who wants full ownership of their P&L, enjoys business partnering, and thrives on analysing complex cost structures in a high-volume operational environment. You'll have direct exposure to senior leadership, the chance to influence operational decisions, and a clear platform for professional development in a large, complex London transport business.Robert Half Ltd acts as an employment business for temporary positions and an employment agency for permanent positions.
