SOC 2421 (85% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £49,200, and Stanton House is a licensed sponsor. That is our reading of the rules. Whether they issue a Certificate of Sponsorship is still their call.
This could also be SOC 1131 (Financial managers and directors, Manages finance projects but not people; main role is hands-on accounting work) or SOC 2440 (Business and financial project management professionals, Role is project-based delivering finance transformation projects). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
About the role
Interim Financial Controller – Workday Financials
Contract: 4-Month Project, with potential extension into January
Location: London
Start Date: Late August / Early September
Day Rate: £700–£800 per day, Outside IR35
Working Pattern: Hybrid – 2 days per week in the office, with Thursday as the core team day
A high-growth, PE-backed fintech with a revenue of £60m is seeking an experienced Interim Financial Controller to support a series of business-critical finance projects following the successful implementation of Workday Financials.
Operating one of the UK's leading Fintechs, the business has experienced significant growth and continues to invest heavily in its finance function, technology and operational infrastructure to support its expanding platform and customer base.
Working closely with the Group Financial Controller, you will take ownership of four key accounting and financial control projects, delivering them with a high degree of autonomy while helping to embed scalable, automated processes within Workday Financials.
This is a hands-on assignment for a technically strong accountant who can solve complex accounting challenges, drive process improvements and leverage Workday Financials to deliver sustainable, long-term solutions. The ideal candidate will combine excellent technical accounting expertise with proven Workday Financials experience and the ability to hit the ground running.
Key Responsibilities
- Take ownership of key finance transformation and accounting clean-up projects through to completion including:
- Lead a benefits and payroll clean-up project, reviewing existing processes, identifying issues and ensuring accurate accounting treatment.
- Deliver a software capitalisation project, including the accounting treatment of staff costs associated with software development.
To Be Successful
- Fully qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent) with experience operating at Financial Controller, Head of Finance, Senior Finance Manager or a similar level.
- Proven hands-on experience with Workday Financials (Workday HR experience alone is not sufficient).
- Strong technical accounting expertise, including experience with financial control, balance sheet reconciliations, lease accounting, software capitalisation and finance transformation projects.
- Self-sufficient, analytical and commercially minded, with the ability to work autonomously, solve complex accounting challenges and deliver projects with minimal supervision.
The process is expected to move quickly, with the business keen to identify a shortlist of candidates ahead of interviews during the week commencing 24 August.
If your experience combines strong accounting expertise with genuine Workday Financials experience, we’d be pleased to hear from you. Due to the specialist nature of this requirement, relevant candidates are likely to be limited, so early applications are encouraged.
