Job Description

This is a rare opportunity to be part of something exciting and genuinely future-focused.

We're supporting a forward-thinking organisation at the heart of a future initiative - a project focused on innovation, sustainability and building something new from the ground up. As they enter the next phase of this journey, they're looking to appoint a hands-on Accountant, with the potential to transition into a permanent role at the end of the contract.

Reporting into a Senior Finance Business Partner, you'll take full ownership of the finance for a growing, small-business-style operation.

This is an end-to-end finance role, ideal for someone who enjoys variety, autonomy and being close to the detail:

  • Full bookkeeping through to statutory accounts and tax submissions
  • Ownership of the month-end close process
  • Ensuring statutory and tax compliance
  • Supporting internal and external audits
  • Acting as a strong finance business partner, working closely with non-finance stakeholders
  • Providing practical, commercial insight to support a developing operation

This is not a pure back-office accounting role - you'll be visible and involved in shaping how finance supports the future of the business.

We're keen to speak with accountants who bring a hands-on, business-minded approach, ideally with experience in smaller or growing organisations:

  • Ideally qualified (ACA / ACCA / CIMA or equivalent)
  • Experience using Sage or SAP
  • Comfortable operating as the accountant for a small business
  • Confident business partner with the ability to communicate clearly beyond finance

Location & Flexibility

  • Based near Tadcaster
  • 3 days per week (flexible on which days and working hours)
  • ASAP start preferred, though they can wait for the right person

This is an excellent opportunity for someone looking to make a real impact, gain exposure to an innovative project, and potentially build something longer-term.

Please get in touch if you'd like to discuss further or are interested in being part of this journey.
