Statutory Accountant
Job Description
Interim Stat Accountant - Media - London - c. £350 / day - 3 months +
Your new company
You’ll be joining a complex, fast-moving organisation preparing for a busy audit cycle. The finance team is focused on tightening statutory processes, clearing legacy backlogs, and getting ahead of forthcoming audits. This is a great environment for someone coming straight out of practice who wants hands-on industry exposure and responsibility from day one.
This interim Statutory Accountant role will support audit preparation by front-loading the work well ahead of audit commencement. You will be responsible for preparing and rolling forward audit work papers using prior-year files, helping to clear an existing backlog, and ensuring documentation is audit-ready before fieldwork begins.
There is also the potential to remain on assignment and support the live audit process once it kicks off, expected from July onwards. The initial contract is likely to be at least three months, with the opportunity to extend up to nine months depending on the audit timetable. This role is particularly well suited to an audit-trained ACA or CAANZ looking to make a smooth and credible transition into industry. What you'll need to succeed
- ACA or CAANZ qualified, ideally audit-trained
- Ability to pick things up quickly and add value mid-cycle with minimal hand holding
- Experience working in SAP, or confidence operating in SAP-driven finance environments
- Strong understanding of data flows from general ledger through to statutory reporting
- Exposure to royalty accounting would be highly beneficial, or similar licencing, IP, or complex revenue streams.
- Comfortable with complex reconciliations and judgement-based accounting areas
- A natural problem solver who digs beneath the numbers, challenges assumptions, and resolves root-cause issues.
