Job description

NXTGEN are supporting a well known and complex organisation with the appointment of a Temporary Assistant Accountant on an initial 6-month basis. This role has been created to provide additional support within a busy finance function during a period of change and increased reporting requirements. The Temporary Assistant Accountant will sit within a central finance team and work closely with senior finance stakeholders, supporting statutory and management reporting, audit activity and key compliance processes. This is a hands on role offering broad exposure across corporate accounting, controls and reporting within a large, structured environment. As a Temporary Assistant Accountant, you will play a key role in ensuring accurate, timely and well controlled financial information, while supporting the wider finance team with both planned and ad hoc activity. This assignment would suit someone who enjoys operating in a fast paced environment and is comfortable picking things up quickly.
