Project Accountant - 6 month contract - Fully remote

Barden are delighted to be engaged by an international, private equity-backed technology group to hire a Project Accountant on a 6 month fixed-term contract, working fully remotely from anywhere in Ireland.

With a competitive package and flexible hours, it is a role worth getting curious about for a qualified accountant who enjoys variety and wants broad exposure to group finance in a short space of time.

ABOUT THE ROLE:

The group is entering a busy period of corporate activity, and this role exists to give the finance team extra capacity. It will feel like a series of projects, with you moving to where the team needs you most.

Main duties and responsibilities will include:

• Supporting M&A accounting, including journals, schedules, and reporting;
• Helping to onboard a newly acquired business into group processes;
• Working on group audit topics under US GAAP;
• Intercompany, tax, and balance sheet reconciliations across multiple entities and currencies;
• Month-end support, including journals, accruals, and reconciliations;
• Documenting processes for a smooth handover.

ABOUT THE PERSON:

• Qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CPA) with PQE in industry;
• Must be immediately available to start;
• Exposure to US GAAP or multi-entity reporting is an advantage, not essential;
• Technology or software industry experience is a plus;
• Curious, hands-on, and happy to roll with what is needed;
• Strong Excel and ERP system skills;
• Available to start at short notice.

This role will suit recently qualified accountants, including those returning to Ireland from abroad, who are available immediately and want a varied, fully remote 6 month project before their next move.
