Interim Assistant Management Accountant - 3 Months Contract

Robertson Bell are partnering with a large group of companies as they look to appoint an Interim Management Accountant for an initial three-month contract. The organisation is entering a particularly busy period and requires additional technical expertise to support the timely delivery of monthly management accounts across a complex multi-entity structure.

Working closely with two Finance Business Partners and the wider finance team, you will play a key role in ensuring financial information is accurate, complete and delivered to tight deadlines. This is a hands-on role suited to a highly capable accountant who thrives in fast-paced environments with high transaction volumes.

Key responsibilities will include:

• Supporting the preparation of monthly management accounts across 20 entities.
• Ensuring income and expenditure is coded accurately and consistently.
• Preparing and posting payroll journals and assisting with payroll reconciliations.
• Completing accruals, prepayments and in-month journals.
• Responding to queries from stakeholders and supporting budget holders with financial information.
• Working within the finance system and handling large data sets, often involving thousands of lines in Excel.
• Assisting the Finance Business Partners in meeting month-end deadlines (working day 8).

The successful candidate will:

• Bring strong technical accounting experience, ideally gained in a multi-entity or high-volume environment.
• Be confident working with large data sets and complex transaction streams.
• Have hands-on experience producing or supporting management accounts.
• Possess excellent Excel skills and the ability to work accurately under pressure.
• Be delivery-focused, organised and comfortable working at pace.
• Have experience that outweighs qualification status - practice-trained candidates or those with deep technical grounding are strongly encouraged.
• Be available at short notice and able to commit for the full contract duration.
•  

This role is offered on a hybrid basis, with the expectation of spending 1-2 days per week in the Sutton Coldfield office.

If you are a technically strong accountant with multi-entity experience and immediate availability, we would love to hear from you.
