Job Description

Accountant 12-month FTC

Your new company
You’ll be joining a forward-thinking consultancy that works across a range of public- and private-sector challenges. The organisation is growing rapidly and is committed to improving outcomes for the clients it supports. With an emphasis on adaptability, collaboration and high-quality delivery, the company fosters an environment where talented people can make a meaningful impact. They are looking to bring someone onboard in a 12-month FTC, with a strong desire to transition into a permanent role.

Your new role
As the business continues to scale, the finance function is playing an increasingly vital role in shaping strategic and commercial decision-making. Reporting to the Finance Director, you will take ownership of financial reporting, control, and analysis, ensuring the organisation has accurate, timely and insightful financial information. Responsibilities will include:
  • Producing accurate monthly, quarterly and annual financial reports and board-level packs.
  • Providing clear financial analysis to support strategic and commercial decisions.
  • Leading budgeting and forecasting cycles and partnering with stakeholders across the business.
  • Managing payroll-related journals and maintaining accurate ledger entries.
  • Preparing VAT returns and supporting wider tax compliance requirements.
  • Coordinating annual audits and preparing necessary supporting documentation.
  • Strengthening financial controls, policies and processes, driving continuous improvement.
  • Coaching and supporting junior finance team members.
What you'll need to succeed
As it is a 12-month FTC, it is essential that you are on short notice or immediately available. You will be a qualified finance professional (ACA/ACCA/CIMA or equivalent) with experience in a similar role. It will be benficial if you have gained experience within a consultancy, professional services or another multi-project environment, but this is not essential. A proactive mindset, curiosity and comfort working in a fast-paced, evolving environment will help you thrive.

What you'll get in return
You'll receive a competitive salary of £60k + bonus + benefits. You’ll join a supportive, ambitious organisation that values expertise, ownership and continuous development. Benefits include a performance-related bonus, pension contributions, private healthcare, life assurance, hybrid working (very flexible), and 27 days’ annual leave plus bank holidays. You will also receive a tailored professional development plan, modern equipment, and the opportunity to grow your influence within a scaling consultancy.
