Interim Systems Accountant | Cumbria | 6-Month Contract | Day rate negotiable | Hybrid
We're supporting a business undergoing a period of finance and systems improvement as they look to appoint an experienced Interim Systems Accountant.
This is a hands-on assignment for someone who enjoys bringing structure to complex environments, improving controls and solving problems that have been sitting unresolved for too long.
The finance leadership team has identified several key priorities across reporting, reconciliations, controls and system development. They are looking for an experienced qualified accountant who can quickly get under the skin of the business, take ownership of projects and deliver lasting improvements.
A significant part of the role will involve acting as the finance lead on ongoing Workday developments, ensuring finance requirements are properly understood and embedded into future reporting and system design.
