Financial Accountant

Requirements of the role

We’re seeking a motivated and detail orientated finance professional to join our team, where you’ll play a pivotal role in shaping financial reporting and control across government. From supporting month-end processes and reviewing balance sheet reconciliations to interpreting complex financial data for external publications like the Annual Report & Accounts, your analytical skills will directly inform senior decision-making. You’ll facilitate both internal and external audits, contribute to financial guidance on areas such as VAT, travel, and non-current assets, and help embed a robust control environment through well-documented procedures and compliance monitoring. Collaboration is key: you’ll build strong relationships across finance, risk, procurement, and the National Audit Office, working flexibly to meet collective priorities. If you thrive on turning data into insight, and want to make a meaningful impact through financial excellence, we’d love to hear from you.
