Interim Financial Accountant

Are you an experienced Financial Accountant with a drive for accuracy and efficiency? Are you looking for a hands-on role where you can play a crucial part in the financial control environment of a not-for-profit organisation? Are you experience in dealing with complex tax matters, including VAT partial exemption, and leading on intercompany reconciliations? 

I am working with a North London-based not-for-profit organisation. This organisation has a significant local impact, and they are looking for an Interim Financial Accountant to join their team for a 3-month contract while  key members are seconded onto a system implementation programme.

Key responsibilities include:

• Performing intercompany reconciliations and leading quarterly VAT and CIS returns, including complex VAT partial exemption requirements.
• Being a senior member in a small team of three junior accountants, reviewing and signing off their journals and reconciliations but without formally line managing.
• Leading the trial balancing process at month-end.
• Overseeing bank, balance sheet, and payroll reconciliations, as well as general ledger maintenance.

This role is based in the North London office twice per week, offering a great opportunity to work in a purpose-driven environment while supporting the ongoing financial operations of the organisation. Please note that applications for either five day or part time (four days per week) will be considered.

To be considered, please meet the following criteria:

• Minimum part-qualified accountant; ideally fully qualified.
• Experienced in being both hands on, and reviewing the reconciliations and journal postings of junior team members.
• Strong knowledge of VAT, CIS, and intercompany accounting, including leading on complex partial exemption VAT returns.
• Proven ability to perform detailed reconciliations.

This is a fantastic opportunity to make a real impact on an organisation that serves the local community. If you’re ready to take on a role where you can use your expertise to support a growing, mission-driven team, please apply now!
