SYSTEMS ACCOUNTANT – MEDIA
WOKING - 3 DAYS OFFICE / 2 DAYS FROM HOME - 12m FTC - A finance systems role with real scope to learn and grow - Potential for temp to perm
£55,000 - £60,000
Are you a finance systems specialist who can sit between finance and a technical team and hold your own with both? Do you like owning the detail, knowing what a system should do, spotting when it doesn't, and driving the fix?
We Do Group are hiring a Systems Accountant for a well-established media business, to take ownership of finance systems within a busy team. You'll be the key link between Finance and the D365 technical team, making sure Microsoft D365 and connected tools do what the business actually needs.
There's a clear backlog of changes to work through and a significant project to get the invoice automation tool in accounts payable working as it should. This is a hands-on role for someone who's done this before and can step in with minimal handholding.
WISH LIST
- A strong finance systems background, comfortable owning issues end-to-end with little oversight
- Confident pushing back on both finance and technical teams, able to say when something doesn't look right and explain why
- A logical, analytical approach to systems, with the judgement to know what's feasible and what isn't
