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

Seaford is a town in East Sussex, England, east of Newhaven and west of Eastbourne.[3]

In the Middle Ages, Seaford was one of the main ports serving Southern England, but the town's fortunes declined due to coastal sedimentation silting up its harbour and persistent raids by French pirates. The coastal confederation of Cinque Ports in the mediaeval period consisted of forty-two towns and villages; Seaford was included under the "Limb" of Hastings.[4] Between 1350 and 1550, the French burned down the town several times. In the 16th century, the people of Seaford were known as the "cormorants" or "shags" because of their enthusiasm for looting ships wrecked in the bay. Local legend has it that Seaford residents would, on occasion, cause ships to run aground by placing fake harbour lights on the cliffs.[5]

Seaford's fortunes revived in the 19th century with the arrival of the railway connecting the town to Lewes and London. It became a small seaside resort town, and more recently a dormitory town for the nearby larger settlements of Eastbourne and Brighton, as well as for London.

The traditional Sussex pronunciation of the name has a full vowel in each syllable: /ˈsiːfɔːrd/ "sea-ford". However, outside Sussex, and increasingly within, it is commonly pronounced with a reduced vowel on the second syllable: /ˈsiːfərd/ SEE-fərd.​
