An exciting opportunity has arisen for an Assistant Management Accountant to join a global healthcare services organisation with a proud heritage and a rapidly expanding international presence. This role offers you the chance to play a pivotal part in supporting the finance function across five diverse entities within the Clinical & Commercial Pharma Division, ensuring accurate and timely financial submissions that underpin business success

You will benefit from a flexible hybrid working model, allowing you to balance time between the Bedfordshire office and remote work, while collaborating with colleagues across multiple geographies. The organisation is committed to fostering a supportive, people-first culture where adaptability, commitment, and trust are at the heart of everything they do. If you are looking for a position that values your expertise, encourages professional growth, and provides exposure to complex, multi-entity financial operations within a truly global context, this could be the perfect next step in your career.

Join a globally recognised healthcare services provider with a strong track record of growth and innovation, offering you exposure to international finance operations and cross-border collaboration. Enjoy genuine flexibility through a hybrid working arrangement, with two days per week in the Bedfordshire office and the remainder from home, supporting your work-life balance and personal commitments. Become part of an inclusive team culture that prioritises people first, fosters trust and shared purpose, and supports your ongoing professional development as you progress towards full accountancy qualification.

What you'll do:

Your day-to-day activities will involve close collaboration with colleagues across finance, HR, operations, and commercial teams to deliver accurate month-end results. You will be responsible for payment approvals, balance sheet reconciliations spanning multiple countries, managing profit and loss statements for European subsidiaries, conducting variance analyses on monthly submissions, handling intercompany transactions, supporting audits, providing ad hoc analysis for operational needs, overseeing accruals and prepayments processes, and participating in regular review meetings. Oversee the finance function for five distinct entities within the Clinical & Commercial Pharma Division, ensuring all month-end processes are completed accurately and on schedule.

Approve payments in accordance with group policy, including payroll bank files, maintaining rigorous compliance standards across all transactions. Perform detailed balance sheet reconciliations for four entities operating across three different geographies, ensuring accuracy and transparency in financial reporting. Take responsibility for the full profit and loss as well as balance sheet management of European subsidiaries by liaising closely with local accountants regarding payroll and tax matters and posting relevant entries. Provide insightful variance analysis on monthly profit and loss submissions for multiple entities, delivering clear explanations to support business decision-making. Raise intercompany recharges and reconcile intercompany balances each month to ensure consistency and accuracy across group accounts. Assist senior finance staff with both internal and external audit requirements by preparing documentation and responding promptly to queries. Support operations and commercial teams by providing ad hoc financial analysis as required to inform project delivery or commercial decisions. Manage accruals and prepayments processes efficiently to ensure accurate reflection of costs within each reporting period. Participate in regular review calls with HR, payroll, and project managers as a trusted finance partner, contributing valuable insights into financial performance.

What you bring:

You should demonstrate reliability under pressure by meeting tight deadlines without compromising accuracy; show empathy when supporting non-finance stakeholders; display sensitivity when handling confidential information; exhibit flexibility when adapting to changing priorities; maintain dependability through consistent delivery; foster inclusivity by sharing knowledge generously; nurture positive relationships through polite interactions; contribute enthusiastically during team discussions; uphold honesty in all dealings; remain considerate towards others’ perspectives; support collective goals over individual achievement; value training opportunities that further enhance your technical expertise; embrace hybrid working arrangements that promote both productivity and wellbeing.

Part-qualified or actively studying towards AAT, ACCA or ACA qualifications is essential for this position as it demonstrates your commitment to professional development within accountancy. Proven experience managing accruals and prepayments processes is required so you can confidently handle these critical aspects of month-end reporting. Demonstrable knowledge of accrued and deferred revenue principles ensures you can accurately reflect income streams over appropriate periods. Experience working with multiple entities and profit & loss accounts equips you to manage complex organisational structures effectively. Project accounting experience is highly valued as it enables you to provide meaningful analysis on specific initiatives or commercial projects. Familiarity with internal and external audit processes is desirable so you can assist senior staff during audit cycles efficiently. Understanding of VAT regulations would be advantageous given the cross-border nature of the role’s responsibilities. Previous exposure to CSO business environments is considered beneficial but not mandatory for success in this position. A valid driving licence and access to a car are essential due to occasional travel requirements between offices or client sites.
