Interim Financial Accountant- 6 Month FTC

Interim Financial Accountant | 60,000 - 65,000 | 6-Month FTC | Hybrid - Bradford Are you a hands-on financial accountant who enjoys getting into the detail - unpicking accounts, solving problems, and leaving things in a far better place than you found them? If you like working independently, digging into messy balance sheets, and treating the numbers like a puzzle to be solved, this could be right up your street. We're partnering with a growing business based in Bradford. The business is going through a period of systems and reporting change, with a new finance system going live in February, a change in auditors, and a need to get the balance sheet into a really robust, investor-ready position. This is a standalone, project-focused interim role where experience, judgement, and attention to detail matter far more than hierarchy or headcount. The Role You'll step in as the go-to financial accountant, taking ownership of balance sheet integrity, audit readiness, and system-related clean-up work. Balance Sheet Clean-Up: Getting the December balance sheet into a strong, position - reconciling, reviewing, and making the numbers make sense to an investor. Detail & Reconciliation: Unpicking historical postings, reviewing allocations between practices, and ensuring balances are fully understood and supported. Audit Support: Managing the auditor transition and looking after the audit process. Schedules & Support: Producing high-quality schedules to sit behind closing balances and statutory numbers. Systems & Projects: Supporting the go-live of a new system and dealing with ad-hoc project work as issues arise. Year Reset: Supporting a clean clear-down of 2025, ensuring the business starts the year on solid footing. This is a practical, sleeves-rolled-up role, ideal for someone who enjoys getting into the weeds and fixing things properly, not just ticking boxes. What we're looking for A strong financial accountant with proven experince of balance sheet reviews and reconciliations. Comfortable working standalone, using initiative and problem-solving skills. Happy unpicking accounts end to end and digging into the detail. Experience with Sage 200 would be beneficial but not essential. Ideally qualified, though this can be flexible for the right level of hands-on experience. Why join? You'll be joining at a point where your work will really matter. The business is implementing a new system, changing auditors, and preparing for future growth. Getting the foundations right now is critical - and that's exactly where this role comes in. This Interim Financial Accountant / Project Accountant role offers autonomy, challenge, and the satisfaction of leaving a finance function stronger, cleaner, and more robust than when you arrived. Location: Bradford (lots of flexibility- you'll only need to be in the office when gathering information) Salary: 60,000 - 65,000 (FTC) Contract: 6 months (with scope for additional project work) Start: ASAP If you're a financial accountant who enjoys problem-solving, detail, and ownership, hit apply. This is a meaty interim role with plenty to get stuck into.
