Interim Accountant - 6 Month FTC ( 50k / 250 day rate)
Our client is looking for a hands on interim to come in and sort out a backlog of accounting issues, with a potential to go permanent.

The Role
You'll be parachuted in to clean up a messy ledger environment and get things compliant before a new system goes live. It's a two-stage project:

  • Clean up historic ledgers and reconciliations
  • Support migration into a new finance system

Key Responsibilities

  • Clear a backlog of overdue bank reconciliations
  • Manage multiple client ledgers (mini trial balances)
  • Perform 3-way reconciliations (cashbook, bank, client ledgers)
  • Reconcile service charge accounts
  • Get records compliant ahead of system implementation

What we're looking for

  • Strong hands-on accountant who can hit the ground running
  • Experience working with client money
  • Solid understanding of Solicitor's Accounts Rules or RICS regulations (essential)
  • Comfortable working through high volumes and messy data
  • Able to work autonomously with minimal hand holding

The Setup

  • 6 month FTC (initial 3 months essential, likely extension)
  • 50k salary or c. 250 per day
  • Hybrid/flexible working
  • Fast-paced, owner-managed business with quick decision making
  • Reporting directly into senior leadership

Good role if you enjoy fixing problems and making a visible impact quickly.
