  • Assist with audit queries and ensure timely resolution of issues
  • Contribute to process improvements across financial reporting


What you'll need to succeed

  • ACA / ACCA / CIMA qualified (or equivalent)
  • Proven experience in delivering statutory accounts and leading year-end audits
  • Strong technical accounting knowledge (UK GAAP essential)
  • Comfortable working in a fast-paced, changing environment
  • Ability to hit the ground running with minimal supervision
  • Strong stakeholder management and communication skills
  • Advanced Excel skills; experience with ERP systems advantageous


What you'll get in return

  • Competitive day rate up to £400 per day
  • Immediate start with a 3-6 month assignment

  • Exposure to senior stakeholders and complex reporting environment
