Accountant - 3 month FTC
We're working with a well-established and growing organisation looking to appoint an experienced Accountant on a three-month fixed-term contract. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who enjoys month-end accounting, management reporting and working within a collaborative finance team.
This is a varied role where you'll take ownership of key financial processes while supporting the wider finance function during a busy period.
Key responsibilities will include:
- Managing month-end processes
- Preparing monthly management accounts, including Profit & Loss and Trial Balance
- Completing balance sheet reconciliations
- Preparing accruals and prepayments
- Revenue recognition
- Posting journals
- Maintaining the fixed asset register
- Completing account reconciliations and resolving discrepancies
- Processing subcontractor reconciliations and recharges
- Responding to finance-related customer queries
- Supporting the Finance Manager and wider team with additional finance duties as required
We're keen to speak with candidates who have:
- Part-qualified ACCA or CIMA, or an AAT qualification
- Previous experience within a management accounting or assistant accountant role
- Strong month-end accounting experience
- Excellent Excel skills and confidence using finance systems
- A high level of accuracy and attention to detail
- The ability to manage multiple deadlines and work independently
- Strong communication skills and the confidence to build relationships across the business
Experience using ERP or accounting systems such as Infor M3 or Opera would be advantageous but is not essential.
What's on Offer
- Hybrid working following an initial office-based induction
- Friendly, supportive finance team
- A varied and hands-on role where you can make an immediate impact
