Description

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.
