The Theatre Technician plays a vital operational role within our busy 1,250-seat theatre and additional rehearsal and event spaces.

We are seeking a talented Management Accountant to join our small, collaborative finance team on a permanent, part-time basis. Reporting to the Head of Finance, this new hands-on role will play a key part in delivering high-quality financial insight and supporting decision-making across an expanding organisation.
About the role
You will produce accurate monthly management accounts, support budgeting and forecasting, and provide clear financial analysis. Working closely with budget holders and colleagues across the organisation, you will help explain performance, investigate variances, and support informed decision-making. You will take ownership of key elements of the month-end close process, ensuring accurate and timely reporting, and will support cash flow forecasting and day-to-day financial operations. Your ability to communicate complex financial information clearly to non-finance stakeholders will be key to your success.
You will also play an important part in maintaining strong financial controls and supporting statutory reporting and audit processes. From assisting with VAT returns to improving financial systems and processes, you will help ensure the finance function runs smoothly and effectively.
This is a varied role where continuous improvement is actively encouraged, giving you the opportunity to shape how financial information is produced and used across the organisation.
Role Specifics
We are looking for a part-qualified accountant with strong experience in management accounting, budgeting, and financial analysis. You will have excellent Excel skills, experience of finance systems, and the ability to work independently and collaboratively. Experience of supporting non-finance colleagues and, ideally, working in the charity or not-for-profit sector would be an advantage.
In return, we offer a supportive and values-driven environment where you can develop professionally while contributing to meaningful work. With flexible working arrangements and the opportunity to make a real impact, this is an excellent role for a motivated finance professional ready to take the next step in their career.
