Job Details

Your new company
A well-established manufacturing and engineering organisation is seeking an experienced Financial Accountant to join the finance team on an interim basis to provide maternity cover. Operating within a large, collaborative finance function, this is an excellent opportunity to join a business with a strong operational footprint and contribute to a busy, fast-paced environment during a key period.

Your new role
Reporting into senior finance leadership, you will be responsible for supporting the financial reporting and compliance activities of the business on a 6-9 month day rate contract.


Key responsibilities will include:

  • Completing month-end and year-end processes, including journals and supporting analysis.
  • Supporting monthly and quarterly reporting requirements.
  • Ensuring timely and accurate completion of balance sheet reconciliations.
  • Supporting VAT, Corporation Tax and other statutory compliance activities.
  • Assisting with the preparation of annual tax returns.
  • Supporting monthly forecasting processes.
  • Completing internal audits and ensuring adherence to company policies and controls.
  • Working closely with colleagues across the finance function to maintain high standards of financial reporting and governance.


This is an on-site position, requiring attendance five days per week to support the team and ensure a smooth handover and transition throughout the assignment.


What you'll need to succeed

  • Fully qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA or CIMA).
  • Previous experience in a Financial Accountant or similar technical accounting position.
  • Strong month-end, balance sheet reconciliation and financial reporting experience.
  • Ability to work effectively within a large finance team and build strong working relationships.
  • Previous experience supporting audit, tax and compliance activities.
  • Available to commit to an on-site role for the duration of the contract.
  • Able to hit the ground running and provide reliable maternity cover within a busy finance function.


What you'll get in return

  • Daily Rate up to £350.
  • Initial 6-9 month contract.
  • Opportunity to join a highly collaborative and supportive finance team.
  • Exposure to a large-scale manufacturing environment.
  • Flexible start and finish hours.
  • Working hours of 37 hours per week with an early finish on a Friday.
  • Immediate opportunity to make a visible impact within an established finance function.
