Qualified Management Accountant
A Qualified Management Accountant is a finance professional who has completed a recognized certification—most commonly through bodies like CIMA (Chartered Institute of Management Accountants) or ACCA (Association of Chartered Certified Accountants). These qualifications equip them with the skills to analyze financial data, guide strategic decisions, and improve business performance.
Here’s what sets them apart:
They focus on internal financial management, unlike auditors or tax accountants who deal with external reporting.
They help businesses plan budgets, forecast trends, and control costs.
They often work closely with senior leadership to shape business strategy.
For example, a CIMA-qualified accountant is trained not just in accounting, but also in risk management, business strategy, and performance analysis—making them valuable across departments
Middlesbrough (/ˈmɪdəlzbrə/ ⓘ MID-əlz-brə) is a town in the Middlesbrough unitary authority borough of North Yorkshire, England. The town lies near the mouth of the River Tees and north of the North York Moors National Park. The built-up area had a population of 148,215 at the 2021 UK census. It is the largest town of the wider urban Tees Valley area, which had a population of 678,400 in 2021.
Until the early 1800s, the area was rural farmland in the historic county of Yorkshire. The town was a planned development which started in 1830, based around a new port with coal and later ironworks added. Steel production and ship building began in the late 1800s, remaining associated with the town until the post-industrial decline of the late twentieth century. Trade (notably through ports) and digital enterprise sectors contemporarily contribute to the local economy, Teesside University and Middlesbrough College to local education.
Middlesbrough was made a municipal borough in 1853. When elected county councils were created in 1889, Middlesbrough was considered large enough to provide its own county-level services and so it became a county borough, independent from North Riding County Council. The borough of Middlesbrough was abolished in 1968 when the area was absorbed into the larger County Borough of Teesside. Six years later in 1974 Middlesbrough was re-established as a borough within the new county of Cleveland. Cleveland was abolished in 1996, since when Middlesbrough has been a unitary authority within the ceremonial county of North Yorkshire. However, since its establishment in 2016, the former area of Cleveland, including Middlesbrough, has been also governed by the Tees Valley Combined Authority, which has had a directly elected Mayor since 2017.
