Pratap Partnership are working with an established and successful business that is looking to appoint a qualified accountant on an interim basis for approximately three months.

The assignment has arisen to provide additional resource within the finance team through a particularly busy year-end period.

• Reviewing balance sheet reconciliations and resolving outstanding items
• Assisting with technical accounting queries where required
• Working closely with the wider finance team to ensure year-end deadlines are achieved
• Providing additional financial accounting support across the team during a busy period

The successful candidate:

• Will be a qualified accountant - ACA, ACCA or CIMA
• Could be recently qualified or have several years' post-qualified experience
• Will ideally have experience of statutory accounts and financial reporting
• Should be comfortable with consolidations
• Exposure to IFRS 16 would be particularly useful
