Are you the type of accountant who thrives on fixing broken systems, not just plugging gaps?
 
This contract needs a change-maker. Someone who’s led financial transformation projects, owned the roadmap, and knows how to get buy-in from busy stakeholders.
 
We’re hiring a Financial Systems Accountant to lead a full systems and process overhaul for a global finance function. You’ll be working directly with the Finance Director to deliver high-impact changes across ERP, P2P, reporting, and automation.
 
This is a delivery-focused role. You’ll need to hit the ground running and bring structure to a busy finance transformation programme.
 
What you’ll be doing:

• Designing the roadmap and project plan for a full financial systems upgrade
• Leading on identifying and scoping systems and process improvements across the finance function
• Building business cases, presenting to stakeholders, and pushing projects through to delivery
• Managing internal teams, suppliers, and third parties to hit deadlines
• Overhauling AP/AR and P2P systems including PO and invoice automation, banking integration, and reconciliations
• Replacing manual spreadsheets with automated workflows and dashboards
• Streamlining fragmented processes and cutting unnecessary touchpoints
• Automating financial accounting processes from data capture through to reporting
• Providing regular project updates with clear metrics, milestones, and progress reports
• Writing and testing new process documentation ahead of go-live
• Getting stuck into any other finance system or transformation-related project work

What you’ll bring:

• Strong experience leading finance system transformations end-to-end
• Ability to map out processes, influence change, and land projects on time
• Comfortable challenging the status quo and working across departments
• Qualified accountant (CIMA/ACCA) preferred but not essential
• Previous experience working in large, international organisations
• Advanced IT and Excel skills — confident using tech to automate and simplify
• Experience with MS Dynamics GP or similar ERP tools is a bonus

Other stuff to know:

• Reports into the International Finance Director
• Works cross-functionally with both internal stakeholders and external partners
• Light physical requirements (standard office-based duties, sitting, occasional lifting etc)

If you’re hands-on, solutions-focused, and ready to lead real transformation -  this is a one of those opportunities
