About the Role:
Addiction Foods is looking for an experienced Management Accountant / FP&A Manager who can turn financial data into clear business insights and practical recommendations.
This is a hands-on role for someone who is comfortable working directly with financial reports, budgets, forecasts, cost analysis, profitability, cash flow, and management reporting.
You will work closely with Finance and business leaders to understand financial performance, identify risks and opportunities, improve reporting, and help management make better commercial and operational decisions.
We are looking for someone who does more than prepare reports. You should be able to explain what the numbers mean, identify what is driving performance, challenge assumptions, and recommend actions.

What You’ll Do:
  • Prepare and analyze monthly management reports, including P&L, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow, and key financial KPIs.
  • Lead or support the annual budgeting and forecasting process.
  • Maintain rolling forecasts and update financial projections based on actual business performance.
  • Perform actual vs. budget, actual vs. forecast, and year-on-year variance analysis.
  • Identify the key drivers behind revenue, margin, operating expenses, profitability, and working capital movements.
  • Prepare clear financial commentary and recommendations for management.
  • Develop financial models for business planning, pricing, investment, cost-saving initiatives, and scenario analysis.
  • Analyze gross margin, product profitability, customer profitability, channel performance, and cost drivers.
  • Partner with Sales, Marketing, Supply Chain, Operations, Manufacturing, HR, and other departments on financial planning and performance.
  • Support monthly and year-end closing by reviewing financial results and ensuring management reporting is accurate.
  • Monitor departmental spending and provide early warning on budget overruns or emerging financial risks.
  • Support cash-flow forecasting and working-capital analysis.
  • Improve management reports, dashboards, templates, and financial models.
  • Identify opportunities to simplify, standardize, and automate finance reporting and analysis.
  • Support the development of dashboards using Excel, Power BI, or similar tools.
  • Assist management with ad hoc financial analysis and decision-support requirements.
  • Ensure reports are delivered accurately and within agreed deadlines.

What We’re Looking For:
Must-Have:
  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, Management Accounting, or a related field.
  • At least 5 years of relevant experience in Management Accounting, FP&A, Commercial Finance, Financial Analysis, or a similar role.
  • Strong experience in:
    • Budgeting and forecasting
    • Management reporting
    • P&L and variance analysis
    • Financial modelling
    • Cost and profitability analysis
    • Business partnering
  • Strong understanding of accounting principles and financial statements.
  • Advanced Microsoft Excel skills.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving capability.
  • Ability to explain complex financial information clearly to non-finance stakeholders.
  • Strong attention to detail while still understanding the bigger commercial picture.
  • Ability to work independently and manage multiple reporting deadlines.
  • Strong English communication skills.

Strong Advantage:
  • CPA, CMA, ACCA, CIMA, or equivalent professional qualification.
  • Experience in FMCG, food, manufacturing, pet food, consumer goods, retail, or e-commerce.
  • Experience supporting multiple countries, business units, or legal entities.
  • Experience using SAP, SAP Business One, SAP HANA, or another major ERP.
  • Experience with Power BI, Power Query, Pivot Tables, VBA, or financial reporting automation.
  • Experience with pricing, standard costing, inventory, product costing, or manufacturing finance.
  • Experience implementing or improving FP&A processes and reporting tools.
  • Exposure to AI or automation tools for finance reporting, data analysis, forecasting, or recurring finance activities.

Who Will Succeed in This Role?:
You will likely be a strong fit if you:
  • Enjoy working with numbers but also understand the business behind the numbers.
  • Can identify why performance changed rather than simply reporting that it changed.
  • Are comfortable challenging assumptions and asking the right questions.
  • Can move from data → analysis → insight → recommendation.
  • Take ownership of reports and deliverables from start to finish.
  • Can work with senior managers and operational teams confidently.
  • Build financial models that are practical and easy to understand.
  • Look for ways to reduce repetitive manual reporting.
  • Can prioritize effectively during budgeting, forecasting, and month-end periods.
  • Are curious, commercially minded, and continuously look for better ways of working.

What Success Looks Like:
The successful Management Accountant / FP&A Manager will provide management with reliable financial information, stronger forecasts, meaningful analysis, and actionable recommendations.
The role will help Addiction Foods move beyond simply reporting historical results toward better financial planning, stronger cost control, improved profitability, and more data-driven business decisions.
