Interim Group Accountant

Our finance team is made up of 6 people in the UK, with additional transactional support on the ground in our Houston office. We have one finance team that looks after all things finance - from invoicing and credit control through to all month end and year end processes, reconciliations, budgets and forecasting, consolidation, tax and external and board reporting. The finance team also has significant involvement in project work.

The Interim Group Accountant will work alongside two other excellent and experienced accounting professionals to carry out all of our month end accounting activities, working with our external auditors during our interim and year end audit, and other ad hoc tasks and projects.

Continuous improvement is a key focus for our team and we have implemented best-in-class finance systems to help us to work efficiently and effectively. We are currently using systems such as NetSuite, Adaptive Planning and Budgeting, Pento and Payhawk and we're always looking to improve the tools we use and the way we use them. We also use our own productivity tool, Workiro, which we think is pretty great.

The Role

This is a varied role that would suit either someone newly qualified and keen to learn or someone with a bit more experience who would enjoy being part of our high performing team on an interim basis of 6-9 months.

It's also an opportunity to get meaningful exposure to a modern, best-in-class finance technology stack in an AIM listed group.
