Stepping into this contract, you will lead the monthly management accounting for the Group’s Lettings divisions. This is a critical role within a high-volume, multi-site business, requiring a leader who can balance the technical integrity of the general ledger with the commercial insight needed to partner with Divisional Managing Directors.

• Maintain and recommend best-practice financial procedures; ensure consistency in accounting treatment across all entities and divisions.
• Oversee the timely completion and review of balance sheet reconciliations, ensuring all issues are resolved promptly.
• Act as the primary point of contact for audit queries and support the Financial Controller on ad hoc projects driven by the Group’s substantial growth plans.

What we are looking for:

• ACCA, ACA, or CIMA qualified with a minimum of 2 years post-qualification experience (PQE).
• Proven experience in managing a team is essential, including conducting 1-2-1s and driving staff development.
• Experience within multi-site businesses dealing with high volumes of data and multiple cost centres is required. Knowledge of the property market is a distinct advantage.
• Comprehensive understanding of accounting principles and month-end processes. You should be highly proficient in Microsoft Excel (Pivot tables, VLOOKUPs, SUMIFs).
• Experience with Microsoft Dynamics (GP, AX, or 365) is highly desirable.
• A strong team player who can communicate financial complexities to stakeholders at all levels of the business.

Why Join:

This contract offers the chance to embed yourself in an award-winning national group that prioritises its people. You will operate in a supportive, collaborative environment and will have access to market-leading training and professional development, ensuring that your time with the business adds significant value to your career trajectory.
