Financial Accountant FTC

NXTGEN are working with a growing organisation in Norwich to recruit a Financial Accountant on a 15-month fixed-term contract, with a strong chance of becoming permanent. Following continued growth and increasing reporting requirements, this role has been created to provide additional support within the financial accounting function during a key period for the business.

This Financial Accountant role will sit within a technically strong finance team and will focus on statutory reporting, group consolidation and IFRS-based accounting across multiple entities. As Financial Accountant, you will play a key role in ensuring accurate and compliant financial reporting, supporting the production of the annual report and contributing to wider finance projects as the business continues to scale. The role is particularly well suited to a first move from practice into industry or someone seeking strong exposure within a complex financial accounting environment.

Key responsibilities will include:

• Preparation of monthly and statutory financial statements for multiple subsidiary entities in line with IFRS

• Supporting the production of consolidated group accounts within tight reporting deadlines

• Playing a key role in the delivery of the annual report and year-end statutory process

• Reviewing cash flow forecasts and supporting cash management activities

• Supporting lease accounting requirements under IFRS 16

• Preparation and review of VAT returns and supporting tax computations alongside the wider Tax team

• Assisting with investor and stakeholder reporting at quarter, half-year and year-end

• Contributing to ad-hoc financial accounting projects as the business continues to grow

The successful candidate will ideally be a qualified accountant (ACA / ACCA or equivalent), with experience gained within a reputable accountancy practice being highly desirable. You will be comfortable working within a technically focused role, able to communicate effectively with a range of stakeholders and confident when working to deadlines. A working knowledge of IFRS is preferred, particularly IFRS 16. Strong Excel skills and a commercially minded approach to analysing financial data are essential.

This is an excellent opportunity to join a business with a strong track record of internal progression, where high performers on fixed-term contracts are genuinely considered for permanent roles.
