Project Accountant

Location: Moodiesburn

What if your next finance role offered exposure to acquisitions, financial due diligence, business transformation and commercially focused projects, rather than spending most of your time producing monthly accounts? Gifford and Partners have been retained to recruiting a Senior Project Accountant for an established and acquisitive business seeking to strengthen its finance function with a commercially minded, analytically strong accountant.

This is a particularly attractive opportunity for someone around 1-3 years post-qualified who wants to broaden their experience, develop new skills and play a more influential role in business decisions. You'll work across a varied portfolio of projects, including: M&A and acquisitions:
Supporting financial due diligence, evaluating potential acquisition targets and analysing business performance. Finance transformation:
Helping develop and implement a new CRM system, improving reporting, data quality and operational processes. Commercial analysis:
Producing financial models, business cases and meaningful analysis to support decision-making. Strategic projects:
Working with senior stakeholders on initiatives designed to improve performance and support growth. Financial reporting:
Maintaining some involvement in reporting and month-end, but without this dominating your role. Who would this suit? We're particularly keen to speak with ACA, ACCA or CIMA-qualified accountants, ideally with 1-3 years' post-qualification experience. You might currently be working in audit, transaction services, management accounting, FP&A or a commercially focused finance role. Previous M&A or systems implementation experience would be useful, but we're equally interested in accountants who have the analytical ability, curiosity and ambition to develop these skills.

Why make the move? Because not every accountant wants their career to revolve around month-end deadlines. This opportunity offers a broader remit, meaningful project exposure and the chance to develop experience across corporate development, financial analysis and business transformation . If you're looking for a role where your contribution extends beyond producing the numbers, this could be an excellent next step.
