Company Accountant

A hybrid finance and implementation role for an accountant who wants to get out from behind the desk and work hands-on with clients. We're working with an ambitious, entrepreneurial business in West London that has developed its own finance software platform and is now rolling it out to a growing base of clients. They're looking for a capable Company Accountant to take ownership of their own numbers in-house — but the real difference in this role is the client side: going in, understanding how each client works, mapping what's needed, and designing the process to get the software implemented and running smoothly.

It's a varied, autonomous role that will suit an accountant who's confident with systems, enjoys solving problems on-site with clients, and wants more than routine month-end work. You'll work closely with the senior finance lead and have genuine visibility and influence as the business scales. What you'll be doing
Leading software implementations for clients — visiting their premises, understanding their setup, mapping requirements and building a clear process to get the platform live
Acting as the trusted point of contact who bridges the finance detail and the technical side, guiding clients through onboarding and resolving queries
Preparing monthly management accounts and supporting reporting
Owning the day-to-day bookkeeping in Sage 50 and keeping the company's own records accurate and up to date
Handling reconciliations, month-end and ad hoc finance work as the business grows
Feeding back to the business on how to make implementation smoother and more repeatable

What you'll bring
Solid all-round accounts experience, including management accounts
Strong IT skills and a real aptitude for software and systems — you enjoy the technical, problem-solving side
Confident, client-facing communication and the credibility to lead an implementation on-site
Hands-on Sage 50 experience (and comfortable picking up other bookkeeping packages)
Happy to travel to client sites as the role requires
Well-organised and self-motivated, able to run implementation projects alongside the in-house finance work
AAT qualified, qualified by experience, or part-qualified (ACCA/CIMA) all considered

What's on offer £40,000 – £50,000 depending on experience, plus a genuinely varied role that blends finance with hands-on client project work, real autonomy, and the chance to grow with an entrepreneurial business at an exciting stage — where you'll be close to the action rather than one of many in a large finance team.
