Job Description

Looking for a value-add 6 month project where you can leave finance in noticeably better shape than you found it? This Project Accountant FTC gives you the opportunity to get involved in migration, automation, controls and process improvement, while working closely with senior decision-makers. You'll benefit from predominantly remote working, flexible hours and a varied project workload within a £40m turnover international e-commerce and manufacturing organisation. This is a hands-on, technical role with plenty to get stuck into, as the business continues to evolve and invest in its growth (if you like routine, this is not the job for you ).

Reporting to the Head of Finance, you will be responsible for:

  • Supporting finance system migration and automation projects, including NetSuite
  • Working closely with the HOF and Directors, providing financial insight and support
  • Supporting project reporting, such as streamlining tax controls, assessing existing controls and identifying financial risks
  • Investigating balances that have been missed, incorrectly recognised or require further reconciliation
  • Supporting with bank and audit committee requirements
  • Supporting with IFRS 16 lease accounting
  • Helping to implement and improve financial controls and processes across the organisation
  • Establishing and documenting process flows across different areas of the business

What you will need:

  • Previous experience in a similar Project Accountant, Finance Project Manager, Finance Transformation Accountant or Technical Accountant role (Financial Controller)
  • NetSuite experience is essential
  • Strong technical accounting knowledge and a good understanding of internal controls
  • Evidence that you can identify weaknesses, develop practical solutions and implement improvements
  • Intermediate Excel skills
  • Experience within e-commerce, manufacturing or another complex environment would be useful, although strong accounting, systems and project experience matters more

What you will get:

  • A six-month FTC with genuine scope to improve how finance works
  • Predominantly remote working, with occasional attendance in Alton and team days
  • Flexible working hours
  • 25 days' annual leave
  • Your birthday off
  • Option to purchase up to 10 additional days' holiday
  • 4% employer pension contribution, with a 5% employee contribution
  • Healthcare plan
  • Cycle-to-work scheme
  • Technology purchase programme
  • Exposure to a varied international operation and senior stakeholders
