Interim Temporary Financial / Management Accountant in Ipswich investigating revenue streams & queries

Your new company
We’re working with a complex, multi-level business based in Ipswich, who operate across the UK in their search to appoint an interim Financial / Management Accountant for a focused 3-month revenue assurance project. You will investigate revenue forecasts versus actual income, validate large volumes of Excel-based financial data, and check the status of outstanding debits and credits across multiple clients and projects.

This is an ideal short-term role for a part‑qualified finalist or qualified accountant / financial business analyst with experience in fast-paced commercial environments, facilities management, FMCG or similar sectors, who can start ASAP and work on the outskirts of Ipswich in a flexible hybrid working pattern of 3 days in the office and 2 days working from home.

Your new role
As the interim Financial / Management Accountant or Financial Analyst, you will take responsibility to investigate and reconcile revenue forecasts against actual income across multiple projects and clients.

This will involve validating and cleansing large Excel datasets to ensure revenue, checking debit and credit accuracy, reviewing and resolving outstanding credits and debits from the operational teams to clarify transaction status and drive resolution, producing clear exception reports with recommended remediation actions for senior stakeholders on forecasted and actual revenue. You will also support the wider finance team with month-end reporting and contribute to management accounts, as well as confidently present your findings and progress updates to senior finance and operational stakeholders.

What you'll need to succeed
If you are a Qualified or Part‑Qualified accountant with strong Excel skills and experience in revenue validation within FM, FMCG or similarly complex commercial organisations, we’d like to hear from you, as your core skills will include:

Qualifications: CIMA, ACA, ACCA qualified or part‑qualified (Finalist/Part‑Qualified considered).
Technical skills: Advanced Excel (pivot tables, VLOOKUP/XLOOKUP, INDEX/MATCH, Power Query, data validation, large workbook management) and ERP systems
Accounting skills: Strong experience validating high volumes of financial data (revenue, debit/credit reconciliations).
Investigative ability: Methodical approach to query investigation with attention to detail and accuracy.
Stakeholder management: Confident in communicating with senior stakeholders and cross‑functional teams.
Industry background: Experience in facilities management, FMCG, or other fast‑paced commercial businesses preferred.
Work style: Self-motivated, organised, able to prioritise work under tight deadlines.

What you'll get in return
As explained, this will be a short-term interim role to start ASAP until late January / February 2026, and you will be paid a PAYE hourly rate based on a salary range of circa £50,000 - £55,000 depending on your experience. The working hours will be 8.30am - 5.00pm with an element of flexibility of times and 3 or 4 days on-site.
