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.
