Job Description

7-month contract in a large, fast-paced business. Own intercompany and reporting. Hybrid work and a strong team around you.

About the Company
This is a big, well-run organisation that does meaningful work behind the scenes. They’re part of a wider group structure, which means great systems, solid processes, and loads of variety. The finance team is experienced, supportive, and values people who take ownership and get things done.

About the Role
We’re looking for a confident, detail-focused Financial Accountant to step into a 7-month fixed-term contract. You’ll be across month-end, reconciliations, and managing intercompany processes across multiple entities.
You’ll hit the ground running, taking full ownership of the numbers and keeping the reporting clean, accurate, and on time. There’s plenty of support around you, but this role definitely suits someone who’s happy getting stuck in and working independently where needed.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Manage the full intercompany process — queries, journals, reconciliations, confirmations, and settlements
  • Deliver accurate month-end and quarterly reporting for group consolidation
  • Work with internal teams and auditors to ensure clean, audit-ready results
  • Spot process improvements and contribute to ongoing finance projects
  • Provide support across tax reporting, working papers and systems clean-up
What We’re Looking For
  • CA-qualified (or equivalent) with 5+ years in accounting or audit
  • Strong understanding of financial reporting and reconciliations
  • Comfortable with ERP systems
  • Clear communicator with a practical, no-fuss approach
  • Detail-oriented, reliable, and confident owning your space
  • Someone who is available to start within the next two weeks 
What’s on Offer
  • 7-month fixed-term contract — great for someone between roles or looking to land and add value quickly
  • Hybrid working — a mix of WFH and office, with flexibility
  • Supportive team, good systems, and a solid handover
