Finance insight that shapes performance

We’re looking for a Management Accounting Specialist to join our Finance Team in a key business‑partnering role. Reporting to the Finance Manager, you’ll take responsibility for ensuring that financial processes within your area are robust, consistent, and well controlled.

You’ll work closely with Cost Centre and Project Managers, providing clear financial insight, constructive challenge, and practical support to help managers make well‑informed decisions. Whether you’re progressing within Cadent or joining us from outside the organisation, this role offers variety, ownership, and development in a supportive and collaborative environment.

Why you'll love this role

Trusted business partner – Work closely with Cost Centre and Project Managers, providing insight and challenge to support strong financial decisions.
Real ownership – Take end‑to‑end responsibility for monthly reporting, budgeting, forecasting and business planning for a defined area.
Influence performance – Turn financial data into meaningful insight that helps leaders understand performance drivers and manage outcomes.
Variety and exposure – Gain experience across reporting, planning, governance and control activities, with visibility beyond Finance.
Process improvement focus – Identify and deliver improvements to financial processes, controls and ways of working.
Collaborative culture – Work with Finance colleagues and wider stakeholders to improve consistency, efficiency and best practice.
Career development – A strong opportunity to build capability and confidence, whether stepping up internally or broadening experience externally.
Purpose‑led impact – Contribute to Cadent’s Net Zero journey through robust financial insight and stewardship.

What You'll Bring

Professional finance grounding – A recognised UK accounting qualification with relevant post‑qualification experience in management or business‑partnering finance.
Commercial mindset – Strong financial and commercial acumen with the ability to understand operational context and performance drivers.
Clear communication – Confidence explaining financial results, risks and issues to non‑finance stakeholders in a clear and practical way.
Stakeholder capability – Proven ability to build effective, collaborative relationships, whether navigating Cadent internally or adapting quickly from outside.
Planning expertise – Experience managing budgets, forecasts and business plans, including challenging assumptions and ensuring data quality.
Systems confidence – Comfortable working with SAP or similar finance systems and handling complex financial information.
Process improvement skills – Demonstrable experience improving financial processes, reporting or controls.
Judgement and confidence – Willing to challenge the status quo, propose well‑reasoned options, and make sound decisions in a dynamic environment.

Operating within a purpose‑driven organisation, Finance plays a critical role in supporting investment, operational performance and long‑term sustainability. This role offers flexible working, a collaborative culture, and a clear opportunity to build on your experience and broaden your impact.

At Cadent, we’re thrilled to be part of the future of UK energy!

We have a clear roadmap to drive our performance to the forefront of our industry and support the UK government in achieving its net zero targets by 2050.

We’re making a difference through innovation and new ways of working. Together, we’re shaping a cleaner, greener future for our 11 million customers, whom we put at the heart of everything we do.

What’s In It for You

Here at Cadent, we recognise that our people are truly unsung heroes. Quietly confident, delivering every day - that’s why we’re committed to supporting our people to get the best out of themselves. For this role, we offer:

Annual bonus
Pension Scheme double matched up to a total of 18% of salary
25 days holiday, plus statutory days, and an option to buy more
An extra day off each year to celebrate life’s special moments
Career development with funded learning options
Flexible working and strong ED&I commitments
Generous family policies and flexible benefits
Retail discounts, gym access, and more

We support a healthy work-life balance and are open to flexible working options.

Diversity and Inclusion

Don’t meet every requirement? No problem! If you’re excited about this opportunity but your experience doesn’t align perfectly with every qualification mentioned, we would still love for you to submit your application – you may just be the right person for this role or other opportunities at Cadent.

We value diversity and are committed to being an equitable employer. Our employee communities – Women in Cadent, Pride at Work (LGBTQ+), Embrace (ethnicity and religion), Thrive! (disability), the Cadent Military Community, the Grief Awareness Community, and the Men's Engagement Network (M.E.N) – can’t wait to welcome you!
