An established property business is looking to appoint an experienced Interim Client Accountant to support its finance function on a specialist reconciliation and compliance project. The business manages a portfolio of property assets and requires an experienced contractor who can quickly get to grips with its existing Qube environment, enhance reconciliation processes and provide guidance to the wider finance team.
