Management Accountant

A Management Accountant coordinates financial activities for a large business or organisation. You might prepare financial reports and statements and set budgets for departments, projects and other activities. Management Accountants make financial forecasts and provide advice on operating costs, spending and pricing.

Management Accountants should have excellent numerical skills and keen attention to detail. You’ll need to be organised and able to manage your time well. Management Accountants require strong communication skills and must be able to liaise with colleagues at all levels of an organisation.
