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.
