What we're looking for
- Strong hands-on accountant who can hit the ground running
- Experience working with client money
- Solid understanding of Solicitor's Accounts Rules or RICS regulations (essential)
- Comfortable working through high volumes and messy data
- Able to work autonomously with minimal hand holding
The Setup
- 6 month FTC (initial 3 months essential, likely extension)
- £50k salary or c.£250 per day
- Hybrid/flexible working
- Fast-paced, owner-managed business with quick decision making
- Reporting directly into senior leadership
Good role if you enjoy fixing problems and making a visible impact quickly.
