Role Overview
Robert Half has partnered with a leading infrastructure and services business to recruit for a Financial Accountant. This organisation operates within a complex, regulated environment, delivering essential services through long-term commercial partnerships. They offer a collaborative working culture where finance plays a key role in supporting operational performance, governance, and strategic decision-making.
This is an excellent opportunity for a qualified or nearly qualified accountant to join a high-performing finance team on a 12-month fixed-term contract, taking ownership of the accounting function for a portfolio of business activities. Working closely with senior finance stakeholders, you will be responsible for delivering accurate management and statutory reporting, supporting budgeting and forecasting activities, and ensuring strong financial controls are maintained. The role would suit someone who enjoys a broad accounting position, can work independently, and is comfortable managing deadlines in a commercially focused environment.
