About The Role

Are you a Life Changer? Do you want to lean in and transform the life of a child?

Compass Community puts children first through our therapeutic, innovative approach. Integrity, Courage and Care shape how we work. We listen deeply, challenge each other and fix what needs fixing, together.

This is the work. And we’d like you to be part of it.

We're looking for an ambitious and commercially minded Management Accountant to join our Schools Division. Based in Syston, this is a hybrid role requiring 3–4 days per week in the office.

This is a newly created role and an exciting opportunity to take ownership of the month-end process, management reporting and financial controls within one of Compass Community's key growth areas. Working closely with the Divisional Financial Controller, you'll play a central role in ensuring accurate financial reporting, supporting operational decision-making and driving continuous improvement across the finance function.

As the Schools Division continues to grow, you'll have the opportunity to influence how finance operates, contribute to transformation projects and develop your career within a business that is investing in the future. For the right person, there is a clear pathway towards a future Financial Controller role.

What you'll be doing

Owning the full month-end close process for the Schools Division
Preparing and posting accruals, prepayments and other month-end journals
Producing and maintaining balance sheet reconciliations
Preparing monthly management accounts, MI packs and variance analysis
Supporting forecasting and budgeting processes
Managing divisional reporting requirements, including pupil premium and other ring-fenced funding
Leading quarterly VAT returns
Supporting payroll, accounts payable and receivable activities where required
Reviewing work completed by junior finance team members
Supporting audits, statutory accounts preparation and finance projects
Playing an active role in finance transformation initiatives, including optimisation of Sage Intacct
Line managing and developing at least one junior member of the finance team
Deputising for the Financial Controller when required

About you

You'll be part-qualified or fully qualified ACA, ACCA or CIMA (or qualified by experience with equivalent technical expertise), with experience in a Management Accountant or similar role.

You'll also bring:

Experience owning or leading month-end processes
Strong technical accounting knowledge, including accruals, prepayments, balance sheet reconciliations and variance analysis
Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills
Advanced Excel skills and confidence using finance systems
The ability to communicate financial information clearly to non-finance stakeholders
A proactive, hands-on approach with a focus on continuous improvement

Desirable experience includes:

Sage Intacct or a similar ERP system
Multi-site organisations
Education, social care or other regulated sectors
Line management, mentoring or coaching experience

What we offer

Salary of £41,000 - £45,000 DOE
Study support for part-qualified candidates
Hybrid working
Career progression opportunities
Ongoing professional development
A supportive and collaborative team environment
The opportunity to contribute to a growing, purpose-led organisation

Why Compass Community?

At Compass Community, every role contributes to better outcomes for children and young people. While this position sits within our finance team, the work you do will help ensure our schools have the resources, insight and support they need to deliver outstanding services.

If you're looking for a role where you can take ownership, develop your career and make a meaningful impact within a growing division, we'd love to hear from you.
