HW Finance are partnering with a well‑established international group to appoint an Interim Group Financial Accountant to support their financial reporting function on a minimum 6‑month basis.

This role will play a key part in supporting the group finance function. While predominantly based within the UK finance team, the role will also require some travel to the German site.

This is a great opportunity to gain exposure to European and cross‑border financial reporting, while making an immediate and tangible impact within a busy finance function.

What’s on offer

• Salary of £60,000 – £80,000 DOE
• Defined contribution pension (8% employer) and life assurance
• 25 days’ holiday plus bank holidays
• 1 day per week working from home

Key responsibilities

• Preparation of statutory reporting for the German group entity
• Supporting and, where appropriate, leading the German statutory audit process
• Assisting with financial reporting across the wider European group
• Ownership of the month‑end close process, including accruals, prepayments and fixed assets
• Producing monthly management accounts for central functions, including intercompany recharges
• Completion of monthly balance sheet reconciliations
• Payroll postings and review
• Supporting the tax team with VAT returns, submissions and queries
• Responding to information requests from tax authorities
• Providing financial insight and support to internal accounting and reporting teams
• Delivering general financial accounting support across the group
• Contributing to ad‑hoc projects and financial analysis as required

For this role, we are ideally looking for a qualified accountant. A strong technical background would be advantageous, but is not essential.
