Job description

Interim Financial Accountant / Controller
Circa £500/day (Outside IR35)
6-Month Contract | Warrington | Predominantly Site-Based

I am seeking a seasoned Interim Financial Accountant who can operate comfortably at Controller level, bringing clarity, rigour, and hands-on expertise to a challenging environment.

The Role:

You will join a business undertaking significant transformation, requiring rigour in terms of financial process, reporting and data integrity. Your remit will be to get under the bonnet - untangling the numbers, building out structure, and delivering clarity. This is a project-led role, requiring someone who thrives on sorting out the mess and building solid foundations.

Key Responsibilities:

1. Lead on robust balance sheet reconciliations and financial controls.
2. Investigate and resolve issues across AP/AR, ensuring accuracy and alignment.
3. Bring rigour to requisition and accrual processes, including historic accruals.
4. Rebuild confidence in basic double-entry bookkeeping and general ledger integrity.
5. Work closely with the business to implement improved financial processes and reporting standards.

What We're Looking For:

1. A qualified accountant (ACA, CIMA, ACCA).
2. A career interim with a strong track record in hands-on financial accounting.
3. Demonstrable experience of working in challenged finance environments.
4. A detail-oriented problem-solver who can work autonomously and proactively.
5. Someone comfortable being on-site, engaging with teams and processes directly.
