WIP Manager | Global Advertising Agency | London | £60,000–£70,000 | 3-Month FTC

We are working with a leading global advertising agency looking to bring in an experienced finance professional to support its project finance and reconciliation processes.

This is a great opportunity to join a high-profile, international creative business in a hands‑on role, working closely with project teams and the wider Finance function to ensure project financials are accurate, reconciled and properly reported.

Key Responsibilities

• Own and manage project-level reconciliations, ensuring financial information is accurate and up to date across multiple projects.
• Use NetSuite to run project reports, review job activity and investigate discrepancies.
• Reconcile third‑party supplier and external spend against client billing, identifying any gaps or variances.
• Review project costs, revenue and work‑in‑progress (WIP), ensuring costs are appropriately captured and accounted for.
• Support project‑related journal entries and adjustments, understanding the impact of costs moving in and out of projects.
• Work closely with project administration and operational teams to resolve outstanding queries and improve reconciliation accuracy.
• Provide visibility of project financial performance and highlight any issues requiring further investigation.

What We’re Looking For

• NetSuite experience is essential – you’ll need to be confident navigating the system, running reports and extracting relevant project information.
• Previous experience in project accounting, project finance or financial reconciliations.
• A good understanding of core accounting principles, including journals, accruals and WIP.
• Experience reconciling third‑party expenditure against client billing.
• Strong Excel skills and the ability to investigate discrepancies and work through detailed financial information.
• Someone organised, analytical and comfortable working independently in a fast-paced environment.

The Opportunity

• Initially a 3‑month fixed‑term contract.
• Opportunity to work within a globally recognised advertising agency.
• A hands‑on position with exposure to international projects and a broad range of stakeholders.
