I am supporting an infrastructure business with an Interim Financial Accountant to lead the financial statements workstream across a multi-entity UK and European group. The role will review auditor-produced statutory accounts, challenge accounting treatment, reconcile statements to the general ledger and leave clear, supportable opening balances.

The assignment

The consolidated audit is substantially complete, but several local statutory audits remain open. You will act as the company-side technical reviewer, ensuring the accounts, notes and disclosures are accurate, consistent and properly supported.

Key responsibilities

• Review statutory accounts for technical accuracy and consistency.
• Challenge accounting treatment and support final positions.
• Reconcile accounts to the general ledger and track adjustments.
• Review notes, disclosures and supporting commentary.
• Drive local statutory audits to completion with external auditors.
• Document clear bridges between opening and closing positions.

The right candidate

You will be technically strong, audit-aware and confident reviewing statutory accounts across multiple entities. You will be comfortable challenging auditors, working through ledger detail and producing outputs that stand up to scrutiny.

Essential experience

• Qualified accountant or QBE with strong statutory reporting experience.
• Audit or statutory accounts background.
• Strong technical accounting and GL reconciliation skills.
• Multi-entity experience; infrastructure or project-based sectors desirable.
• Advanced Excel skills.

Why this role?

This is a focused interim assignment offering ownership of a key statutory reporting workstream and the chance to strengthen future audit readiness.
