Description
As Project Accountant you will be responsible for many individual finance related projects with the aim of aligning policies, processes and outputs of 2 recently merged large businesses. You will also be required to improve current ways of working.

- Enhancement of system capabilities for the bank reconciliation process
- Alignment of intercompany processes and investigation of the possibility of an intercompany management system

Profile
My client is looking for someone with demonstrable project experience in a hands-on capacity. Some experience in finance would be useful although not strictly necessary. If coming from a project rather than finance background experience in finance related projects is essential.
You will be required to liaise with colleagues across both businesses so strong communication skills are essential.
This is very much a 'doing' rather than managing role, and therefore you must be prepared to work on your own initiative with excellent organisation and time management skills.
This is a 1 Year Fixed Term Contract role to start anywhere between mid June to mid July so please ensure your availability fits within these dates if applying.
Job Offer
Up to £45,000
25 days holiday + Bank Holidays
