Are you a hands-on finance professional who enjoys leading a small team and making things work better? Do you thrive in a role where you can combine the rigour of management accounts with the opportunity to improve systems, processes, and people? This isn’t just about producing numbers. It’s about making finance matter across the business — helping leaders make smarter commercial decisions, ensuring controls are in place, and supporting continuous improvement. What you’ll be doing You’ll take ownership of the monthly management accounts, ensuring accuracy across balance sheet and intercompany reconciliations, and supporting the business through year-end and external audit. You’ll also have responsibility for transactional finance – overseeing purchase and sales ledger, cashbook, bank recs, and intercompany movements, while leading and developing a small team to meet deadlines and maintain high standards. There’s a strong commercial edge too: * Support budgeting, forecasting, and the annual rent-setting process * Monitor and analyse spend, income, and cashflow to improve value for money * Present meaningful reports and analysis to the Senior Leadership Team * Review and enhance internal reporting, systems, and policies * Manage supplier contracts, terms, and negotiations You’ll play a key part in improving processes, supporting operational decision-making, and increasing the standard and value of financial information used across the organisation. Who will succeed here? Likely someone who is: * Part-qualified or qualified by experience in finance * Confident managing all aspects of transactional and management accounting * A natural team leader, with a collaborative and supportive style * Experienced in improving processes and enhancing reporting * Comfortable working directly with senior leaders and external stakeholders Exposure to housing, care, or the not-for-profit sector might be useful, but it’s not a deal-breaker
