Job description

Most accounting roles are built around processing transactions and maintaining reports.
This one isn't.


Our client is looking for a finance professional who wants to help build a smarter, more efficient finance function. Someone who sees opportunities where others see routine, questions outdated processes, and enjoys finding better ways to work.
As a Financial Accountant, you'll be responsible for maintaining the integrity of the numbers while helping shape the future of the finance function. You'll work within a business that embraces innovation, leverages technology, and encourages fresh thinking when it comes to accounting, reporting, and process improvement.


If you enjoy combining technical accounting with problem-solving and continuous improvement, this is the kind of opportunity where your contribution will genuinely matter.

What You'll Be Doing

Financial Operations

  • Take ownership of monthly accounting processes and month-end reporting.
  • Prepare journals, accruals, prepayments, and other accounting adjustments.
  • Ensure financial records are accurate, complete, and maintained in accordance with accounting standards.
  • Assist with the preparation of management reports and financial information.

Reconciliations & Financial Control

  • Prepare and review bank reconciliations and balance sheet reconciliations.
  • Investigate discrepancies and resolve outstanding reconciling items.
  • Support a strong control environment by ensuring the integrity of financial data.
  • Assist in maintaining accurate supporting documentation and audit trails.

Accounts Payable & Supplier Management

  • Manage supplier reconciliations and support payment processes.
  • Ensure invoices are properly captured, coded, and approved.
  • Maintain accurate supplier records and assist with query resolution.
  • Support efficient cash management through effective accounts payable administration.

Process Enhancement & Efficiency

  • Challenge existing ways of working and identify opportunities for improvement.
  • Contribute to initiatives that simplify workflows and improve reporting accuracy.
  • Assist in creating more efficient finance processes that support future business growth.
  • Work alongside stakeholders to implement smarter, scalable finance practices.

Reporting & Business Support

  • Provide meaningful financial information to support decision-making.
  • Analyse financial data and identify unusual trends or variances.
  • Assist with ad hoc projects, reporting requirements, and business initiatives.
  • Support the broader finance team's objectives through accurate and timely information.

What We're Looking For

Qualifications

  • Accounting qualification, diploma, or relevant accounting experience.

Experience

  • Minimum 3 years' experience in an accounting role.
  • Strong month-end accounting and reconciliation experience.
  • Exposure to financial reporting and management accounts.
  • Experience within a fast-paced commercial environment.

Skills

  • Strong understanding of accounting principles.
  • Excellent attention to detail and accuracy.
  • Advanced Microsoft Excel skills.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving capabilities.
  • Ability to work independently and take ownership of deliverables.

The Ideal Candidate

You'll be someone who:

  • Enjoys improving processes rather than simply following them.
  • Is naturally curious and solutions-focused.
  • Takes pride in producing accurate, high-quality work.
  • Thrives in a dynamic and evolving environment.
  • Brings energy, initiative, and a continuous-improvement mindset.
  • Understands that finance should contribute to business growth, not just report on it.

Why Join?

This is an opportunity to be part of a business that values innovation, efficiency, and forward-thinking finance professionals. You'll gain exposure to a modern finance environment where your ideas are welcomed, your contributions are recognised, and your career can continue to grow.
