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.

What you'll be doing

• Leading software implementations for clients — visiting their premises, understanding their setup, mapping requirements and building a clear process to get the platform live
• Acting as the trusted point of contact who bridges the finance detail and the technical side, guiding clients through onboarding and resolving queries
• Preparing monthly management accounts and supporting reporting
• Owning the day-to-day bookkeeping in Sage 50 and keeping the company's own records accurate and up to date
• Handling reconciliations, month-end and ad hoc finance work as the business grows
• Feeding back to the business on how to make implementation smoother and more repeatable

• Solid all-round accounts experience, including management accounts
• Strong IT skills and a real aptitude for software and systems — you enjoy the technical, problem-solving side
• Confident, client-facing communication and the credibility to lead an implementation on-site
• Hands-on Sage 50 experience (and comfortable picking up other bookkeeping packages)
• Happy to travel to client sites as the role requires
• Well-organised and self-motivated, able to run implementation projects alongside the in-house finance work
• AAT qualified, qualified by experience, or part-qualified (ACCA/CIMA) all considered
