Project Accountant 12 mth FTC

Project Accountant - 12-Month FTC

This is not your typical finance job.

If you're looking for a role where you can cruise through month-end, rinse and repeat, this isn't it!

But if you want to roll up your sleeves, get into the engine room of a fast-growing business, and play a major role in implementing an ERP system that doesn't make people scream… read on.

This company is growing. Fast. £100m turnover and climbing.

There is a need for finance systems that can keep up - and that's where you come in.

What You'll Actually Be Doing:

• Supporting the Group Financial Controller in the ERP implementation as well as other smaller projects for finance - this is not a "watch from the sidelines" gig.
• Translating business needs into ERP functionality - if you don't understand why something matters, you'll ask the right questions until you do.
• Writing test scripts, creating control documents, and keeping the project on the rails.
• Backfilling for BAU accountants - so they don't drown while we make big changes.
• Monitoring project spend, ensuring compliance, and capitalising costs correctly - because "we'll figure it out later" is not a strategy.
• Working across departments to make sure the finance function is driving the business forward, not just keeping score.

What You Need to Bring:

• A proper accounting qualification (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent).
• Hands-on systems implementation experience - if you've never been near one, this will be a shock to the system.
• The ability to cut through the noise - you'll be dealing with people who just want things to work, and it's on you to help make that happen.
• A knack for explaining finance to non-finance people without making them fall asleep.

What You Need to Know:

• Location: South Cerney, between Swindon and Cirencester - this is an HQ-based role.
• Contract: 12-month FTC - a serious role with serious impact.
• Package: £45,000 - £55,000 + benefits, including flexibility to work hybrid 2 days per week.
