Why join our client?

This is an exciting opportunity to join a highly regarded professional services business during a period of sustained growth and systems transformation. With a collaborative culture and a focus on continuous improvement, the finance team plays a key role in driving efficiency and enabling better decision-making across the business.

They offer flexible hybrid working (typically 40–60% in the office), a friendly and inclusive culture, and the chance to work on impactful projects that will shape the future of their finance operations.

 

How you’ll make an impact

As Finance Systems Accountant, you’ll sit within the Finance Systems Team and play a critical role in modernising the firm’s financial systems. Reporting to the Finance Systems Manager, you’ll lead on upgrades, reporting enhancements, and process automation. You’ll work closely with colleagues in Finance and Technology to ensure that core systems run smoothly and are continually improved to meet business needs.

 

Key responsibilities include:

 

  • Identifying and implementing finance systems and process improvements, reducing manual input and improving data quality.

  • Managing the performance and upgrades of key financial systems, including the firm’s Practice Management System.

  • Developing and improving reporting capabilities using SQL and SSRS.

  • Supporting key finance transformation projects, including system implementations and automation initiatives.

  • Providing second-line systems support and delivering user training across finance and non-finance teams.

 

Why our client is excited about you

You’re a qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA) who enjoys combining your finance expertise with a passion for systems and process improvement. You’ve got experience working with finance systems—ideally in a professional services environment—and enjoy getting hands-on with data and reporting tools.

 

You’ll bring:

 

  • Strong accounting knowledge and understanding of financial processes.

  • Proven experience in a similar finance systems role, including project delivery.

  • Excellent technical skills, ideally with experience of Aderant (or similar), SQL, and SSRS.

  • A collaborative, proactive approach and the ability to work effectively across teams.

  • Confidence in delivering training and translating complex systems into clear guidance for users.

 

What you’ll get in return

This Finance Systems Accountant role in Bristol offers a unique opportunity to influence how finance systems are run and improved within a major professional services firm.

 

You’ll enjoy:

 

  • Salary £50,000–£60,000 depending on experience

  • Hybrid working with excellent work-life balance

  • Generous benefits package

  • Involvement in impactful transformation projects

  • Supportive, values-led culture with career development opportunities
