Interim Financial Consultant - 3 months - Abingdon with hybrid working (1-2 days per week)
We are working on behalf of a leading organisation in its sector to appoint an experienced Interim Financial Consultant on an initial 3-month contract. This assignment is offered on a day-rate basis and will support the business through a critical reporting and technical accounting period.
This is a hands-on role requiring strong technical expertise under IFRS, with particular emphasis on year-end statutory reporting and complex accounting areas, including acquisition accounting.
Key responsibilities will include:
*Leading the preparation of year-end statutory accounts under IFRS
*Providing technical accounting guidance across the business
*Accounting for complex financial instruments, including Convertible Loan Notes
*Leading acquisition accounting, including purchase price allocations and associated disclosures
*Accounting for Share-Based Payment arrangements, ensuring appropriate recognition, measurement and disclosure under IFRS
*Supporting audit processes and acting as a key point of contact for external auditors
*Strengthening financial controls and ensuring robust documentation of technical positions
The ideal candidate will be a qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA or equivalent) with demonstrable experience operating within a complex organisation. You will have a strong track record in IFRS technical reporting, including acquisition accounting (ESSENTIAL), and ideally have had exposure to Convertible Loan Notes and Share-Based Payments. Prior experience delivering statutory accounts in a time-sensitive environment is essential.
This role would suit a technically strong, detail-oriented professional who can operate autonomously, provide clear technical judgement and deliver to tight deadlines.
