Job description

Sewell Wallis are working with a fantastic Sheffield-based client of ours that we're proud to have partnered with on multiple occasions. They're a private equity-backed, rapidly growing South Yorkshire Tech business going through an exciting period of transformation and are looking for an Interim Management Accountant to join them for an initial 4-month contract.

This would be a great opportunity for someone looking to gain experience working in a fast paced PE environment, someone looking to expand their management accounting skillset or simply someone looking to get their foot in the door for a hugely successful business where permanent opportunities are constantly arising.

What will you be doing?

• The business is investing heavily in upgrading its finance systems and embedding AI-driven processes across the organisation, so they need a either latter stages part qualified or recently qualified accountant to help support the finance team during this transition.
• Supporting with complex reconciliations.
• Supporting the preparation of the management accounts.

What skills are we looking for?

• Qualified Accountant (ACA / ACCA / CIMA or equivalent)
• Excel capability including VLookups, Pivot Tables as a minimum
• Immediately available or available at short notice
• Strong reconciliation skills with excellent attention to detail
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, changing environment
• Hands-on approach and happy to roll up your sleeves

What's on offer?

• This is a brilliant opportunity to join a business with ambitious growth plans. While the role is initially for four months, the company is expanding at pace, and for someone who is a great cultural fit, works hard, and adds value, there is every chance the opportunity could become permanent.
