As a Management Accountant, you will be instrumental in delivering high-quality financial information that supports both day-to-day operations and longer-term strategic goals. Your responsibilities will span from preparing core financial statements to collaborating closely with departmental teams on budgeting matters. You will be relied upon for your analytical skills in evaluating performance metrics, your attention to detail in maintaining reconciliations, and your ability to communicate complex financial concepts clearly. Success in this position comes from building trust with colleagues across the organisation, proactively identifying opportunities for process improvement, and upholding the highest standards of integrity in all aspects of your work. Your efforts will help ensure that the hospital continues to provide exceptional care by enabling sound financial decision-making at every level.
