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

​Peterborough (/ˈpiːtərbərə, -ˌbʌrə/ (About this soundlisten)) is a cathedral city in Cambridgeshire, England, with a population of 202,110 in 2017.[5] Historically part of Northamptonshire, it is 76 miles (122 km) north of London, on the River Nene which flows into the North Sea 30 miles (48 km) to the north-east. The railway station is an important stop on the East Coast Main Line between London and Edinburgh. Peterborough is also the largest city and borough in Cambridgeshire and the East Anglia area of England.

The local topography is flat, and in some places the land lies below sea level, for example in parts of the Fens to the east of Peterborough. Human settlement in the area began before the Bronze Age, as can be seen at the Flag Fen archaeological site to the east of the current city centre, also with evidence of Roman occupation. The Anglo-Saxon period saw the establishment of a monastery, Medeshamstede, which later became Peterborough Cathedral.

The population grew rapidly after the railways arrived in the 19th century, and Peterborough became an industrial centre, particularly known for its brick manufacture. After the Second World War, growth was limited until designation as a New Town in the 1960s. Housing and population are expanding and a £1 billion regeneration of the city centre and immediately surrounding area is under way. Industrial employment has fallen since then, a significant proportion of new jobs being in financial services and distribution.
