A large UK-based not-for-profit organisation is seeking an experienced Year-End Accountant to provide short-term support during a busy reporting period. This is a hands‑on role suited to someone who is comfortable resolving legacy issues, working at pace, and supporting audit delivery with minimal supervision.

• Complete balance sheet reconciliations, including investigating historic issues and ensuring balances are fully supported.
• Understand and execute the underlying processes behind reconciliations, not just review outputs.
• Prepare and upload audit samples and supporting documentation to an external audit portal.
• Perform income reconciliations for both year-end and ongoing operational activity, identifying and addressing process weaknesses.
• Post and review journals, ensuring accounting records are accurate, complete, and audit‑ready.
• Liaise with internal stakeholders to resolve queries efficiently and maintain clear documentation and audit trails.

• Part or fully‑qualified accountant (ACCA, CIMA or ACA).
• Strong experience in year‑end close, reconciliations, and journal processing.
• Able to work under pressure, managing high volumes of transactional and reconciliation work.
• Highly detail‑oriented, practical, and comfortable “getting hands‑on” in the numbers.
• Confident working independently with minimal supervision; strong Excel skills essential.
• Open Accounts experience is highly desirable.
