We are seeking an experienced Financial Reporting Manager to join our client on a 6-9 month interim contract. This is a hands-on role suited to a technically strong accountant who can take immediate ownership of our financial reporting processes, statutory accounts, and year-end deliverables.
You will play a critical role in strengthening our financial control environment, overseeing monthly reporting, and driving process improvements. There is no team management in this position — it’s ideal for someone who enjoys being in the detail and delivering high-quality outputs independently.

*Ensure compliance with internal policies, technical accounting requirements, and regulatory obligations.
*Provide insightful financial analysis to support senior stakeholders during the contract period.
*Support ad-hoc financial projects as needed.
About You *Fully qualified accountant (ACA/ACCA/CIMA or equivalent).
*Strong technical accounting knowledge with proven experience preparing statutory accounts.
*Previous exposure to managing or supporting an audit cycle.
*A proactive, detail-oriented self-starter who can work autonomously.
