Management Accountant
Cardiff
Up to £40,000 plus Benefits
Môrwell Talent Solutions are delighted to be partnering with a highly respected and culturally significant third-sector organisation based in the heart of Cardiff, as they look to appoint an experienced and technically strong Management Accountant to join their finance team on a permanent basis.
This is a genuinely unique opportunity to join a values-driven organisation that plays an important role in shaping the arts and cultural landscape across Wales.

- Supporting funding reporting requirements and multi-income stream analysis
- Managing balance sheet reconciliations and ensuring financial accuracy
- Supporting project and production-based budgeting activities
- Supervising, mentoring and supporting two finance team members
- Working closely with senior leadership to support strategic decision making
- Identifying opportunities for process improvements and efficiencies
- Supporting upcoming finance transformation projects, including the implementation of a new ERP system
