I am looking for an Interim Financial Accountant to lead a balance sheet reconciliation remediation workstream for a complex infrastructure business. The role will define the reconciliation standard, build practical tools, support delivery and move the process towards BAU ownership.

- Clear legacy balances and document rectification plans.
- Embed a quarterly BAU reconciliation cycle by December 2026.

This role suits a methodical, hands-on accountant who knows what good reconciliation practice looks like and can convert that into a practical process. You will be comfortable working through messy balances, coaching others and keeping momentum.
Essential experience
- Strong balance sheet reconciliation experience.
- Experience designing reconciliation templates and review processes.
- Strong technical grounding in balance sheet integrity.
- Experience clearing legacy balances or remediation backlogs.
- Advanced Excel and strong communication skills.
Why this role?
