Interim Financial Accountant required for a leading manufacturing group based near Bristol. This £multibillion organisation is working on a number of large scale projects, and needs additional interim resource to support balance sheet management, statutory reporting and UK group accounting in line with IFRS/UK GAAP.

As the Financial Accountant, your responsibilities will include (but given the project basis of this role, not be limited to):

• Outlining relevant financial controls and processes, and producing accounts in line with IFRS and the group's accounting policies
• Application of UK GAAP to produce the UK business' statutory accounts
• Supporting the tax team with tax computations and general queries
• Producing financial reports using the SAP system, and development of new reporting tools
• Interrogation and due diligence of the balance sheet
• Identification of operational risks, and implementing strong controls and governance to mitigate
• Analysis of data trends using understanding of the UK business operations
• Continuous improvement of group policy, controls and governance, and reporting methodologies
• Communication of financial information to relevant stakeholders outside of the finance team

You will be either a qualified accountant or QBE with significant relevant experience. It would be advantageous to have worked in multiple contracts with demonstrable experience of hitting the ground running in technically-challenging positions. If you have a history working with SAP, that would be beneficial, though we welcome anyone with strong ERP abilities.
