What we’re looking for
As Project Accountant, you’ll play a vital role in supporting our ERP implementation, with a focus on NetSuite. You’ll be involved in setting up and migrating key transactional finance processes, such as accounts payable, accounts receivable, banking, and general ledger, while assisting with data mapping, cleansing, and migration activities. You'll contribute to system testing, user acceptance testing (UAT), and go-live support, helping to shape and document new workflows that align with business needs.
Alongside project work, you’ll provide hands-on support to our finance teams, assisting with day-to-day operations, month-end close tasks, and resolving processing issues quickly. Your ability to spot process improvements and work cross-functionally with finance, IT, and external partners will be key to ensuring a smooth transition. You’ll also help facilitate training and act as a bridge between project teams and operational staff to ensure strong communication and successful system adoption.
About You
We’re looking for a part-qualified or qualified accountant (CIMA, ACCA, ACA or equivalent experience) with hands-on experience in NetSuite or a similar ERP system, particularly within transactional finance. A strong understanding of core finance operations, such as accounts payable, accounts receivable, general ledger, bank reconciliations, and cash management is essential, along with experience supporting both project-based and day-to-day finance work. You’ll bring excellent attention to detail, strong organisational and problem-solving skills, and the confidence to communicate effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders. Most importantly, you’ll be working collaboratively with a fantastic team in a supportive, inclusive culture where your contribution is valued and your ideas are welcomed.
