The role

Every great business need people who can turn numbers into meaningful decisions.

We're looking for a Management Accountant to join our Finance team at Burger King UK. This is an opportunity to take ownership of key financial reporting, partner with teams across the business and provide the insight that helps shape commercial decisions.

We're looking for someone who's already built solid experience in a similar Management Accountant role and is fully qualified in their ACCA or CIMA qualification (or almost there). Additionally, having a couple of years work experience in a similar role. You'll be someone who can quickly become a trusted member of the team, bringing both technical expertise and commercial thinking from day one.

Working closely with the Finance Manager and colleagues across Operations, Property and Finance, you'll play a key role in producing accurate management accounts, analysing business performance and identifying opportunities to improve efficiency and profitability.

If you enjoy working in a fast-paced environment where no two days are the same, we'd love to hear from you.

What you'll be doing

You'll own key areas of our monthly financial reporting while providing insight that supports better business decisions.

Key responsibilities include:

• Producing monthly management accounts, including profit and loss reporting, variance analysis and insightful commentary.
• Managing various P&L lines, ensuring accurate reporting and effective cost control.
• Preparing month-end journals and balance sheet reconciliations, ensuring financial records remain accurate and robust.
• Analysing financial performance, identifying trends, risks and opportunities to improve profitability.
• Partnering with our Central Operations and Property teams to monitor utility costs, KPIs and identify cost-saving opportunities.
• Supporting the preparation of budgets and forecasts with meaningful financial analysis.
• Ensuring compliance with accounting standards, financial controls and internal processes.
• Driving continuous improvements to reporting processes and month-end activities to create a more efficient finance function.
• Producing ad hoc analysis that helps support strategic and operational decision making.

What you'll bring

You'll already have experience preparing management accounts in a fast-paced commercial environment and be looking for your next challenge.

You'll bring:

• ACCA/CIMA (or equivalent), ideally approaching full qualification, or fully qualified. Got a few exams left? No problem, let us know!
• Experience in a Management Accountant or similar commercial finance role where you've owned the month-end process.
• Previous experience within retail, hospitality or another multi-site business would be highly beneficial.
• Strong technical accounting knowledge, including management accounts, reconciliations and financial reporting.
• Excellent analytical skills with the ability to turn financial data into clear commercial insight.
• Strong communication skills and the confidence to build relationships with both finance and non-finance stakeholders.
• A proactive approach with a passion for improving processes and finding smarter ways of working.
• The ability to manage multiple priorities while maintaining a high level of accuracy and attention to detail.

The setup

The role is based at our Whopper Support Office in Soho, London, with hybrid working two days per week remote.

You'll join a collaborative Finance team where you'll have the opportunity to make a genuine impact, working closely with stakeholders across the business while helping drive the financial performance of one of the UK's best-known restaurant brands.

If you're looking for a role where your experience will be valued from day one and you can continue developing your career in a fast-moving, commercial environment, we'd love to hear from you.
