Circa £500/day (Outside IR35)
6-Month Contract | Warrington | Predominantly Site-Based

I am seeking a seasoned Interim Financial Accountant who can operate comfortably at Controller level, bringing clarity, rigour, and hands-on expertise to a challenging environment.

The Role:
You will join a business undertaking significant transformation, requiring rigour in terms of financial process, reporting and data integrity.
Your remit will be to get under the bonnet - untangling the numbers, building out structure, and delivering clarity. This is a project-led role, requiring someone who thrives on sorting out the mess and building solid foundations.

Key Responsibilities:
* Lead on robust balance sheet reconciliations and financial controls.
* Investigate and resolve issues across AP/AR, ensuring accuracy and alignment.
* Bring rigour to requisition and accrual processes, including historic accruals.
* Rebuild confidence in basic double-entry bookkeeping and general ledger integrity.
* Work closely with the business to implement improved financial processes and reporting standards.

What We're Looking For:
* A qualified accountant (ACA, CIMA, ACCA).
* A career interim with a strong track record in hands-on financial accounting.
* Demonstrable experience of working in challenged finance environments.
* A detail-oriented problem-solver who can work autonomously and proactively.
* Someone comfortable being on-site, engaging with teams and processes directly.
