Magic Breakfast
Management Accountant
Salary: £43,500 – £48,500 
Permanent, Full-time (35 hours per week)
Fully remote (UK-based)

About Magic Breakfast
Magic Breakfast exists to ensure that no child is too hungry to learn. Every school day, we provide nutritious breakfasts to over 300,000 children and young people across England and Scotland, working with schools in areas of greatest disadvantage.
With 2.7 million children at risk of hunger in the UK, too many arrive at school without the fuel they need to concentrate, engage and succeed. Our work removes hunger as a barrier to learning — quietly, respectfully and without stigma.
We are now entering an exciting new phase as we launch Nourishing Futures, our long-term strategy to grow our impact, respond to changing policy and funding landscapes, and reimagine breakfast spaces as places where children can truly thrive.
To help deliver this strategy, we’re seeking an analytical and collaborative Management Accountant to strengthen our financial insight, planning and decision-making capability.

About the Role
Reporting to the Head of Finance, the Management Accountant plays a central role in transforming high-quality data into clear, decision-ready financial insight.
You will own Magic Breakfast’s management reporting, budgeting and forecasting frameworks, ensuring that financial information supports effective planning at departmental and organisational level. Acting as a bridge between transactional finance, financial accounting and emerging business partnering, this role is critical to improving financial discipline, transparency and impact across the organisation.
This is an ideal opportunity for a proactive management accountant who enjoys working closely with stakeholders, improving reporting and helping non-finance colleagues understand the story behind the numbers.
The role is fully remote, with occasional travel throughout England and Scotland as required.

Key Responsibilities
Management Reporting & Financial Insight

• Produce monthly management accounts including P&L, balance sheet summaries, cashflow insights and KPIs
• Own and continuously improve the management reporting framework to ensure clarity, relevance and usefulness
• Provide insightful variance analysis and tailored commentary for budget holders and senior leaders
• Develop enhanced narrative and visual reporting for leadership and trustee packs
• Work closely with the Financial Accountant to ensure alignment between management and statutory reporting

Budgeting, Forecasting & Financial Planning

• Lead the annual budgeting process end-to-end, including timetables, assumptions, templates and consolidation
• Coordinate in-year reforecasting, ensuring forecasts reflect up-to-date operational intelligence
• Support budget holders to translate operational plans into realistic financial forecasts
• Contribute to the development of financial and non-financial KPIs
• Proactively identify risks, opportunities and cost-saving initiatives

Funding & Commercial Support

• Support funding applications by preparing and reviewing budgets for grant bids and proposals
• Monitor and report on restricted funds from a management reporting perspective
• Produce financial models to support commercial relationships and decision-making
• Undertake first-stage financial review of commercial participator agreements, escalating where required

Financial Capability & Continuous Improvement

• Design and deliver budget holder training and ongoing financial literacy support
• Act as a financial sounding board for non-finance teams
• Improve management reporting within finance systems and reporting tools (e.g. Business Central, Power BI)
• Identify opportunities for automation, improved data quality and reporting efficiency
• Support finance systems enhancements, testing and implementation

About You
We’re looking for someone who combines strong technical skills with empathy, curiosity and a commitment to using finance as a tool for impact.
You will ideally have:

• A recognised accounting qualification (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent) (Part-qualified or qualified by experience also considered)
• Solid experience in management accounting, budgeting and forecasting
• Experience owning and improving reporting frameworks within complex organisations
• Strong Excel skills and experience working with ERP systems (Business Central desirable)
• The ability to create clear, compelling financial insight for non-finance audiences
