Location: Milton Keynes (Hybrid)

Salary: 35,824

+ 1,750 location allowance

+ Up to 3,000 dependent on professional qualifications

Contract Type: Permanent, Full-Time

Security Clearance: Subject to SC (Security Check) clearance

Make Your Mark Where It Matters

Join a secure government organisation with a global footprint. You'll apply your financial skills in an operational environment where finance underpins everything-from infrastructure and technology to strategic transformation projects. You'll contribute to public value by helping teams deliver smarter, more efficient, and more transparent outcomes.

Whether you're part-qualified or newly qualified (CIMA, ACCA or equivalent), this is an excellent opportunity to take ownership in a dynamic environment and gain exposure to project work, forecasting, and monthly reporting cycles-all while developing under experienced finance leadership.

What You'll Be Doing

This is a broad and engaging Management Accounting role, split 50/50 between general and project accounting responsibilities. You will:

* Prepare and present monthly MI reports and ad-hoc analysis to support operational decision-making

* Ensure labour costs are recovered accurately across corporate functions, and adapt charging models as needed

* Review compliance controls monthly and recommend corrective actions where required

* Build and support business cases for Opex and Capex proposals

* Track financial benefits against plans and provide ongoing reporting for corporate planning

* Assist with financial forecasting and budgeting, including project revenue stream analysis from internal CRM and PM tools

* Liaise directly with Project and Business Managers on new initiatives and monthly cycles

Who We're Looking For

This role is well-suited to part-qualified or recently qualified accountants who are looking to build experience in both operational and project finance. Prior project accounting exposure is helpful but not essential-full training and support will be provided.

* CIMA, ACCA, ACA or equivalent - either part-qualified, newly qualified, or with up to 2 years' PQE

* Experience in management accounting

* Confidence in Excel and financial modelling (Power BI desirable)

* Familiarity with Oracle Cloud, ERP systems, Salesforce, and/or MS Project tools

* Strong analytical, reporting, and data manipulation skills

* An understanding of working with public money and NAO frameworks (training is provided)

* A willingness to learn in a secure, complex environment where not all project data is visible due to confidentiality

This is not a business partnering role, but you'll gain regular exposure to stakeholders and project teams, giving you the chance to develop your influencing skills and commercial awareness.

A Typical Monthly Cycle

* Week 1: Month-end journal preparation and account closure

* Week 2: MI reporting and analysis

* Weeks 3-4: Budget tracking, forecasting and planning for the next cycle

You'll need to pick up the month-end process within your first 3-6 months. Strong time management and attention to detail are essential to meet tight reporting deadlines (5-day window).

Career Development & Support

* Study support (funding and leave) is available after probation via an internal accreditation scheme

* Annual subscriptions to professional bodies are reimbursed

* Induction and training provided for public sector standards and financial governance frameworks

* Future opportunities to progress into Finance Business Partnering or other roles within a 16-person operational finance team

Benefits at a Glance

Total Reward Package worth up to 37% above base salary includes:

* 25-30 days annual leave (plus 9 public/privilege holidays)

* Defined benefit Civil Service Pension (26.6%-30.3% employer contribution)

* Performance-related bonus (700-3,150) + corporate bonus (e.g., 950 in 2023)

* Study leave (after probation) and paid exam support

* Interest-free season ticket and cycle-to-work loans

* On-site gym, nursery, staff restaurant and caf

* Flexible hybrid working - typically 60% on-site (more during induction)

* Enhanced maternity/paternity/shared parental leave

* Special leave options for compassionate, adoption, marriage, and study reasons

* Leave trading (buy or sell up to 10 days annually)

* Enhanced Employee Assistance Programme and staff discount scheme (MyLifestyle)

Security Clearance & Eligibility

This role is reserved for British citizens only and requires SC security clearance.

Candidates must have lived in the UK for 5 of the last 10 years (with at least 12 consecutive months in the UK unless covered by government service abroad). Clearance typically takes 6 weeks but may vary. If you already hold valid SC clearance, it may be transferred.
