Interim Financial Accountant – Reconciliations (6‑9 Months Contract) – Salford (Hybrid) – £55,000

A major UK organisation with multiple business divisions is seeking an Interim Reconciliations Accountant to support a high‑profile simplification and transformation programme within their Record‑to‑Report function. This is a hands‑on, detail‑driven role suited to someone who enjoys untangling complexity, improving processes, and collaborating across a wide finance landscape.

What you’ll be doing

You'll play a key role in cleansing and restructuring critical RTR data, ensuring complete alignment with new legal entity structures and enhanced control frameworks. Working closely with BAU teams, continuous improvement specialists and a systems implementation project, you'll help prepare the business for a new reconciliation platform.

Your work will include:

  • Identifying and correcting data integrity issues across multiple divisions
  • Reworking balance sheet reconciliations into a new legal entity format
  • Investigating, documenting, and clearing immaterial reconciling items
  • Ensuring reconciliations meet strict validation rules ahead of system migration
  • Preparing high‑quality data for loading into a new reconciliation tool
  • Providing regular progress updates and partnering with teams across finance
Who this will suit

Strong RTR exposure, exceptional attention to detail, and a love of problem‑solving. You'll be comfortable working at pace with large data volumes, confident with Excel, and motivated by driving accuracy, clarity, and improvement. Resilience, collaboration, and clear communication are essential.

Desirable experience
  • High‑volume reconciliation environments
  • Data cleansing or finance transformation projects
  • Oracle ERP exposure
Why this project is exciting

You'll be at the heart of a major finance transformation, shaping cleaner data, better controls, and a more efficient reconciliation process. It's a great stepping stone into future opportunities across finance operations, continuous improvement, or broader financial management.
