Interim Financial Accountant

Interim Financial Accountant
Nottingham / Remote
£50,000 to £60,000
Six-month fixed-term contract
Office attendance approximately once a month

Are you an experienced Financial Accountant looking for a broad interim role within a rapidly growing international business?

BTG Recruitment is working with a £90 million turnover organisation that is strengthening its finance team during a busy period of audit, budgeting and systems improvement. Backed by significant investment, the company is growing quickly and investing in a new ERP system, automation and the use of AI across finance.

This is an initial six-month position with the potential to become permanent. The role is effectively remote, with travel to an office in Nottingham and/or London approximately once a month. Travel expenses will be reimbursed.

The role

Reporting to the Group Financial Controller, with a dotted line to the Vice President of Finance, you will provide hands-on support across financial accounting, audit and group reporting.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Supporting the UK and US audit processes
• Preparing audit schedules and responding to information requests
• Assisting with financial accounting and VAT matters
• Producing consolidated financial information and board reports
• Collating information from across the business
• Providing analysis and meaningful commentary
• Reviewing current reporting processes and identifying improvements
• Supporting the implementation and development of a new ERP system
• Exploring opportunities to use AI and automation within finance
• Providing support across transactional finance when required
• Potentially supervising members of the processing team

The ideal candidate

You will be a versatile finance professional who can quickly understand the business and provide support wherever it is most needed.
You may be newly qualified, a finalist or qualified by experience. More important is your practical financial accounting background and ability to operate effectively in a growing and changing environment.
You should have:

• Broad financial accounting experience
• Experience supporting or working through an external audit
• Strong reporting and analytical skills
• Experience with VAT
• Exposure to consolidated or senior-level reporting
• An understanding of transactional finance processes
• Experience improving finance processes or reporting
• The ability to work independently in a predominantly remote role

Experience of IFRS, international or multi-entity reporting, ERP implementation, US GAAP, automation or AI within finance would be advantageous but is not essential.

What is on offer?

• Salary of £50,000 to £60,000, depending on experience
• An initial six-month fixed-term contract
• Potential for the role to become permanent
• Effectively remote working
• Office attendance only around once a month
• Reimbursement of agreed train fares, parking and business mileage
• Exposure to international reporting, systems improvement and finance automation
• The opportunity to join a growing, investment-backed organisation

The company would ideally like someone who is immediately available or able to start at short notice.
