Interim Accountant

I'm working with an established international business looking for an Interim Accountant to join their finance team in Warrington on a 12-month fixed-term contract. This is a great opportunity for a part-qualified accountant looking to develop their management accounting experience, get involved in month-end processes and contribute ideas to improve financial processes and reporting.

What you'll be doing:

• Matching and reconciling freight and duty invoices, investigating discrepancies and ensuring costs are accurately recorded.
• Monitoring invoice volumes and outstanding charges to ensure all relevant costs are captured.
• Supporting month-end processes, including accrual calculations and providing accurate cost information.
• Working closely with Accounts Payable and Management Accountants to resolve queries and maintain accurate financial records.
• Investigating differences and helping ensure month-end accruals reflect outstanding costs.
• Identifying opportunities to improve existing processes, controls and reporting.
• Supporting the wider finance team with accurate financial information and ongoing process improvements.

What they're looking for:

• Part-qualified ACCA, CIMA or equivalent.
• A good understanding of management accounting principles and month-end processes.
• Strong attention to detail, with the ability to investigate discrepancies and work confidently with financial data.
• Someone proactive and naturally curious, who enjoys understanding processes and finding ways to improve them.
• Good communication skills and the ability to work collaboratively with colleagues across finance.

Previous retail experience isn't essential. They're looking for someone with strong accounting fundamentals, a positive attitude and a willingness to learn and develop.

The role offers a salary of £35,000-£40,000, with flexibility up to £42,000 depending on experience, plus a 10% bonus and employee discounts. It's a 12-month FTC with three days onsite per week in Warrington.
