Description
Management Accountant
Application Deadline: 23 August 2026
Department: Finance
Employment Type: Permanent
Location: Manchester Office
Description
Greenergy delivers safe, efficient and reliable fuel solutions to customers across road, aviation and marine sectors. As an international transportation fuel supplier, we combine traditional and renewable energy solutions to support our customers through the energy transition.
Commitment to innovation and a drive to do things differently have seen Greenergy grow from a bedroom start-up to supply transport fuels in the UK, Ireland and Canada, as well as being a leading European manufacturer of waste-based renewables.
Are you an analytical and inquisitive qualified accountant who enjoys understanding the operational story behind the numbers?
We’re looking for a Management Accountant to support the financial management of Gross Margin Costs across our UK supply and distribution activities. Covering areas such as freight and shipping, port and tankage costs, demurrage and other operational charges, the role offers plenty of variety and the opportunity to develop a detailed understanding of the commercial and operational drivers behind financial performance.
You’ll be responsible for accurate management accounting and reporting, variance analysis, budgets and forecasts, while also partnering with stakeholders to challenge assumptions and improve decision-making. We’re looking for a CIMA, ACCA or ACA qualified accountant with advanced Excel skills, strong attention to detail and the confidence to work across teams in a fast-moving environment.
You’ll need to be curious about how the underlying business operates and comfortable questioning information, investigating variances and looking for ways to improve the quality and efficiency of financial reporting. Experience within fuels, energy, logistics, commodities or another operationally complex business would be an advantage rather than essential.
