Interim Financial Accountant

Robertson Bell are supporting a Public Sector organisation, with offices in both London and Birmingham, to recruit an experienced interim Financial Accountant on an initial three month contract.

This is a hybrid role that is likely to be two days per week while taking a handover, with the office requirement likely reducing slightly after this initial period. 

The interim Financial Accountant will be responsible for:

• Supporting the preparation of the annual report and accounts, ensuring compliance with IFRS reporting standards.
• Assisting in testing and refining financial processes as part of the embedding of Microsoft Dynamics 365, identifying efficiencies where possible.
• Preparing and submitting VAT returns and liaising with HMRC.
• Support month-end activities including preparation of financial statements and management of the balance sheet.  

You will need: 

• A UK recognised accountancy qualification with significant experience in financial accounting.
• Strong knowledge of IFRS accounting standards. 
• Working knowledge of VAT returns and general tax compliance.
• Solid systems skills (as a user) and a high level of Excel competency. 

This is an urgent requirement so, please don't hesitate to submit your application now if you're available at short notice and interested in this opportunity.
