Job description

Own the close. Own the ledger. Own the outcome.

Hi! We're Smartsourcing, and we're hiring a full-time, onsite Accountant to take end-to-end ownership of the daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly accounting cycle for a busy finance function — from journals through to group P&L and audit-ready reporting.

About the Role

As an Accountant, you'll step into a replacement role and take ownership of the full accounting cycle — month-end and year-end close, Fixed Asset Register, balance sheet reconciliations, group P&L, and statutory compliance.
