Job Description

Management Accountant - Storyy Group

Salary

: 45k per annum, dependent on experience

Full Time

Storyy Group exists to build better systems around children and young people who need them most. That mission only works if the numbers are solid, the insight is sharp, and decisions are made with clarity rather than guesswork.

This role exists to bring discipline, visibility and commercial intelligence into a fast-growing, purpose-led group. You will sit close to the Directors and senior leaders, translating financial reality into confident decisions, and ensuring growth never outruns control.

If you want a quiet, siloed accounting role, this isn't it. If you want influence, responsibility and the chance to shape how a values-led organisation scales, read on.

We are building a group that lasts. That requires robust management information, clean processes and someone who takes ownership of the financial engine.
