Part Qualified Acca jobs in County Dublin

Company Description

FreightSpeed is an Irish-owned success story that provides specialist last-mile

transport services to the pharmaceutical sector, and deliveries to all pharmacies,

hospitals and surgeries in the country every day. We are long-established and in an

exciting stage of growth and development that will see the company double in size

over the next two years. Freightspeed owns a fleet size of over 200 vehicles

operating nationwide, consisting of car vans to articulated trucks and dual

temperature-controlled vehicles.

We have also recently added warehousing operations to our range of services in the

form of a temperature-controlled warehouse for medicinal products. We operate a

disciplined warehouse and distribution service that is tightly managed and fully

compliant with agreed procedures and service levels.

The Management Accountant exists to protect margin, expose inefficiencies, and

support operational decision-making across the business. This is a hands-on role

embedded in operations — not a back-office reporting function. You will turn

operational data (volumes, routes, hours, utilisation) into clear financial insight that

drives pricing, cost control, and commercial strategy.

Key Responsibilities:

● Produce accurate monthly management accounts with clear variance

analysis.

● Deliver meaningful commentary — explain why performance has changed,

not just what changed.

● Maintain cost centre and profit centre reporting across business units, fleets,

routes, or contracts.

● Analyse profitability by customer, contract, route, vehicle, and service type.

● Identify margin leakage, underperforming contracts, and pricing gaps.

● Support pricing, tenders, renewals, and contract re-negotiations with robust

cost models.

● Lead annual budgets and rolling forecasts linked to operational volumes.

● Build scenario models (fuel cost changes, wage increases, volume

fluctuations).

● Provide early warning of risks to margin, cash flow, or capacity.

● Work closely with Operations, Transport, Warehouse, and Commercial teams.

● Challenge assumptions using data and facts.

● Translate operational KPIs into financial outcomes.

● Monitor and analyse key cost drivers: labour, fuel, maintenance,

subcontractors, warehousing.

● Track productivity and utilisation metrics.

● Support continuous improvement initiatives with financial insight.

● Leverage ERP / TMS / WMS data to improve reporting accuracy and insight.

● Improve financial models, dashboards, and reporting tools.

● Ensure data integrity between operational and financial systems.

Some Key KPIs You’ll Influence;

● Gross margin by customer / contract

● Cost per km / per delivery / per pallet

● Labour and overtime variance

● Fuel recovery effectiveness

● Depot / fleet profitability

● Forecast accuracy

Candidate Profile

● Qualified or part-qualified accountant (ACA / ACCA / CIMA).

● Experience in logistics, transport, supply chain, freight forwarding, or

distribution.

● Strong commercial mindset — comfortable challenging operations and sales.

● Advanced Excel skills; strong data analysis capability.

● Ability to explain numbers clearly to non-finance stakeholders.

● Exposure to TMS, WMS, or logistics ERP systems.

● Background in pricing, tenders, or contract costing.

What This Role Is Not

● Not a pure financial accounting role.

● Not a passive reporting position.

● Not suitable for someone who avoids operational engagement.

Why Join

● Direct influence on commercial and operational decisions.

● High-visibility role with senior management.

● Opportunity to drive measurable improvements in margin and efficiency.

● Growing logistics business with real complexity and scale.
