Systems Accountant

System Accountant
Location: Norwich
Salary: £Competitive
A growing and highly technology-driven business is looking to appoint a System Accountant to support a key finance systems project and play an important role in the continued development of the finance function.
This is a fast-paced, high-volume environment where systems, efficiency and process improvement are central to the way the business operates. The role offers the opportunity to work on a significant finance systems project while gaining broad exposure across both finance and operational processes.
The successful candidate will initially focus on supporting the completion of an existing finance system implementation project before becoming involved in the ongoing development, optimisation and enhancement of the system over time.
Working closely with senior management and the wider finance team, you will help ensure systems and reporting processes are robust, scalable and capable of supporting continued business growth.
Key responsibilities will include:
• Supporting the implementation and ongoing development of the finance system
• Mapping out system requirements from both a design and testing perspective
• Managing project timelines, milestones and delivery deadlines
• Importing, validating and reconciling financial data
• Supporting process improvement and reporting enhancements
• Working with finance and operational teams to improve efficiencies
• Identifying opportunities for automation and continuous improvement across finance operations
The successful candidate will ideally be fully qualified ACCA or CIMA, although applicants with strong relevant experience and a proven track record in a similar systems-focused finance role will also be considered.
Previous Microsoft Navision experience would be advantageous but not essential.
You will also demonstrate:
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
• Excellent attention to detail
• Advanced Excel capability including lookups, pivot tables and data analysis
• The ability to manage priorities and meet deadlines within a busy environment
• Strong communication skills and the ability to work across multiple departments
This is an excellent opportunity for someone looking to take ownership of projects, contribute to ongoing systems development and join a business that continues to invest heavily in technology and operational improvement
