Your new company
Hays are supporting a well-known Blackpool based organisation to recruit an Interim Project Accountant on an initial short-term assignment.
The business has recently undergone a period of significant change, including the implementation of a new finance system and expansion.
As a result, the finance team requires additional support to complete a key finance improvement project and strengthen financial controls.
Your new role
Reporting directly to the Interim Finance Director, you will be responsible for reviewing and improving the accuracy of the balance sheet within a high-volume transactional environment.
This will involve investigating historical discrepancies, carrying out detailed reconciliations, analysing financial data and implementing corrective actions where required.
You will work closely with the wider finance team to establish robust processes and controls, helping to improve the integrity of financial reporting following a period of organisational and systems change.
What you'll need to succeed
To be successful in this role, you will be immediately available and able to commit to an onsite assignment in Blackpool.
You will have previous experience operating at Finance Manager, Project Accountant, or Management Accountant level within a busy SME environment.
Strong accounting knowledge is essential, alongside proven experience of balance sheet reconciliations, resolving complex accounting issues and working with high transaction volumes.
You will be a proactive self-starter, comfortable working independently and taking ownership of issues through to resolution.
What you'll get in return
In return, you will secure an initial six-week interim assignment with a competitive daily rate.
This is an opportunity to make an immediate impact within a well-recognised organisation, working closely with senior finance leadership on a business-critical project.
You will gain exposure to a changing and evolving finance function while supporting key process and control improvements.
