Interim Group Accountant
12-Month Contract (Potential to Extend) Home-Based with Travel to Europe
We're partnering with a PE-backed, growing SME software business to appoint an experienced Interim Group Accountant during an exciting period of transformation and growth.
Following a series of acquisitions, the Group is establishing its UK parent company, preparing for its first UK statutory audit and implementing a new finance system. This is a hands‑on, high‑impact role for someone who enjoys solving problems, strengthening processes and ensuring high-quality financial reporting in a fast‑paced international environment.
Working closely with the CFO and Group Financial Controller, you'll play a key role across Group reporting, consolidation, audit readiness, systems implementation and acquisition integration.
The Role
- Support the monthly Group close, including balance sheet reconciliations and intercompany accounting.
- Prepare and support Group consolidations, ensuring accurate and timely financial reporting.
- Support the Sage Intacct implementation, including process development, data, reporting and transition activities.
- Support the financial integration of future acquisitions, working with regional and Group finance teams.
- Review and improve accounting processes, controls and revenue recognition across subsidiaries.
- Manage intercompany balances and resolve discrepancies across the Group.
- Work with external auditors and tax advisers, supporting the year-end audit and wider Group requirements.
- Prepare quarterly VAT returns for holding companies.
- Partner with the CFO, Group Financial Controller and regional teams on a range of reporting, accounting and ad hoc projects.
- Contribute to the continued development of the finance function as the business scales.
About You
You'll be a qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent) with experience in Group accounting, consolidation or financial reporting.
We're looking for someone who brings:
- Strong technical accounting, controls and reconciliation experience.
- Experience working across multiple entities and/or international operations.
- A proactive, solutions-focused approach to improving processes and reporting.
- Excellent attention to detail with a commercial mindset.
- Strong communication skills and confidence working with senior stakeholders and international finance teams.
- The ability to work independently, manage competing priorities and thrive in a changing environment.
Sage Intacct experience is advantageous, as is previous exposure to acquisitions or post-acquisition integration.
If you're a hands‑on Group Accountant who enjoys working in a business where there's plenty to improve, build and shape, this could be an excellent interim opportunity.
