Financial Accountant

Are you a resilient, hands-on accounting professional ready to make an immediate impact? Robert Half's client, a leading professional services business in North Leeds, is seeking two experienced Senior Accountants for critical interim assignments.

About the Opportunity In this dynamic, high-profile role, you will quickly take ownership of monthly consolidation and MEC (Month-End Close) processes, ensuring timely, error-free completion. Your expertise will free up the permanent team to focus on business-critical projects, so a "can-do" attitude and the ability to operate at pace are essential.

What You'll Do

• Independently manage and execute consolidation and month-end close activities
• Ensure accuracy, timeliness, and compliance throughout accounting processes
• Identify quick wins and opportunities for process improvement
• Report to and collaborate closely with Senior Managers to maintain oversight and share best practices
• Support and mentor less experienced team members as needed

What We're Looking For

• Proven track record at Accounting Manager/Senior Accountant level within complex, fast-paced organisations
• Advanced knowledge of consolidation, MEC, and financial controls
• Strong technical capability (competence with major accounting systems such as SAP, Oracle, Workday, or Microsoft D365 is a plus)
• Resilience, adaptability, and proactive problem-solving
• Ability to quickly pick up new systems and processes
• Excellent attention to detail and communication skills

What's On Offer

• Highly competitive compensation or generous TOIL (Time Off in Lieu) for additional hours worked, especially around month-end
• 3 month initial role with both chance for extension and for permanent contracts for anyone looking for this
• Opportunity to influence process improvement in a large, forward-thinking business
• North Leeds location, with flexible/hybrid arrangements
