Qualified or Part-Qualified Financial Accountant for fantastic opportunity in Grays and Southend

Financial Accountant
Grays / Southend | Hybrid (3 days in office)

We are partnering with a highly respected organisation to recruit a Financial Accountant to join a high-calibre finance team. This is an excellent opportunity to work under a fantastic Head of Financial Controls, gaining exposure to a broad and technically strong role within a supportive and professional environment.

The Role
As Financial Accountant, you will take ownership of core financial reporting and statutory responsibilities, playing a key role in maintaining robust financial controls and delivering high-quality outputs.
Key responsibilities include:
  • Leading month-end and year-end close processes
  • Preparing financial and statutory accounts
  • Supporting year-end reporting and audit processes
  • Acting as a key contact for external auditors
  • Managing VAT compliance and reporting
  • Ensuring strong financial controls and technical accounting standards are maintained
About You
We are looking for a technically strong and detail-oriented professional who thrives in a dedicated financial accounting role.

You will ideally have:
  • CCAB qualification (ACA / ACCA / CIPFA / CIMA)
    – Strong part-qualified or exceptional QBE candidates will also be considered
  • Proven experience in a pure financial accounting role (not just as part of a broader finance position)
  • Strong technical accounting knowledge and understanding of statutory reporting
  • Excellent systems knowledge and confidence working with finance systems
  • Experience liaising with auditors and handling audit processes
What’s on Offer
  • Hybrid working (3 days per week in office across Grays / Southend)
  • Opportunity to work with a high-performing, collaborative finance team
  • Supportive leadership under a highly regarded Head of Financial Controls
  • Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS)
  • 30 days annual leave + bank holidays
  • Strong long-term career development prospects
If you're a technically strong Financial Accountant looking for your next step in a quality-driven environment, we’d love to hear from you.
