Job Type: Full-time

Looking to take your finance career in a new direction?

If you have a background in finance or accounting and are looking to move into a specialist consulting role, this could be the perfect next step.

This is a rare opportunity to join a growing consultancy that specialises in finance systems and business transformation. You'll combine your accounting knowledge with a client facing role, working on a variety of implementation projects while learning directly from an experienced Director.

No previous ERP consulting experience is required - full training will be provided.

The Opportunity

This isn't your typical finance position.

Instead of focusing solely on month end reporting and routine accounting tasks, you'll become a trusted consultant, helping businesses improve their finance systems and processes.

Working alongside experienced consultants, you'll learn how to deliver implementation projects from initial discovery through to go live, developing specialist skills that are highly sought after and offer excellent long term career prospects.

Projects typically run for 6-9 months, giving you the opportunity to build lasting client relationships and see the full implementation lifecycle.

This is a project focused, client facing role with no sales or business development responsibilities. You'll take ownership of existing client projects, supporting them throughout implementation and beyond.

Key Responsibilities
  • Support and deliver finance system implementation projects

  • Work with clients to understand their finance and operational processes

  • Deliver user training and provide ongoing system support

  • Assist with system configuration, testing and data migration

  • Translate business requirements into practical system solutions

  • Build strong, long term client relationships

  • Work closely with the Director while developing your consulting expertise

About You

This opportunity is ideal for someone with a finance background who is looking for a more varied, client facing career.

You'll ideally have experience in one of the following:

  • Management Accountant

  • Systems Accountant

  • Finance Analyst

  • Assistant Finance Manager

  • Financial Accountant

  • Finance Business Partner

  • Or a similar finance role with strong systems exposure

You'll also have:

  • A solid understanding of accounting principles and financial processes

  • Experience with month end and year end reporting

  • Strong Excel and analytical skills

  • Excellent communication and relationship building skills

  • An interest in systems, technology and process improvement

Previous ERP consulting experience is beneficial but not essential.

Training & Development

You'll receive structured training and ongoing mentoring from day one, working closely with experienced consultants and senior leadership.

As your confidence grows, you'll gradually take ownership of your own client projects, with a clear progression path into a fully fledged ERP Consultant.

Hybrid Working

For your first 3-6 months, you'll be office based to ensure you receive the hands on training and support needed to succeed.

Following your training, you'll move to a flexible hybrid arrangement, typically 1-2 days per week in the office, with the remainder split between home working and client visits.

If you prefer to be office based full time, this can also be accommodated.

What's On Offer?
  • £38,000 - £45,000 DOE

  • Performance related bonus

  • 28 days annual leave plus bank holidays

  • Employer pension contribution

  • Hybrid and flexible working

  • Comprehensive training and ongoing professional development

  • Clear career progression into a specialist consulting role

  • The opportunity to work directly with senior leadership and gain exposure to high profile client projects
