Are you a finance professional with a passion for systems and process improvement? Join us as a Project Accountant and play a key role in our NetSuite ERP implementation, working with a supportive team in a collaborative and inclusive environment.
Why join us
WorkNest, part of the wider Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) division owned by Axiom GRC, is expanding fast. Our group includes experts in Employment Law, HR, Health & Safety, Cybersecurity, ISO, and Compliance – powered by pragmatic advice and cutting-edge technology. Recent acquisitions like Bulletproof, Pentest People, IMSM and Wirehouse have accelerated our growth across UK and global markets, and we’re now aiming for £250m in revenue with >25% CAGR through a mix of organic growth and strategic acquisitions.
We are looking for a hands-on Project Accountant with strong experience in the transactional finance aspects of NetSuite implementation. This role will support the rollout of NetSuite across multiple business units, focusing on the operational and transactional areas of finance such as accounts payable, accounts receivable, banking, and general ledger processes.
In addition to supporting the ERP project, the role will also provide day-to-day operational support to the transactional finance teams, ensuring continuity of service and accurate processing during a time of change. This is an ideal opportunity for someone at the Management Accountant level who enjoys a mix of project and operational finance work.
What We Offer
* Salary: £50,000 - £60,000 per annum
* 12-month fixed term contract
* Great benefits
* Supportive Inclusive work culture
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.
