A housing organisation in London is looking to appoint a Management Accountant to join its finance team. This is a hands-on opportunity for a commercially minded accountant to take ownership of management reporting and month-end, while also developing their business partnering and analytical skills.

Working closely with both finance and non-financial stakeholders, you will play an important role in producing accurate and insightful management information, while helping to improve and systemise existing processes.

Responsibilities

Take ownership of the month-end process, including journals, reconciliations and management accounts. Produce timely and accurate monthly management reporting, budgeting, forecasting and performance analysis. Work closely with the Head of FP&A and Financial Controller to ensure robust financial controls and reporting. Provide financial analysis and insight to support operational decision-making. Build relationships with operational teams and develop finance business partnering across the organisation. Develop and improve Excel-based reporting, models and processes. Identify opportunities to improve and systemise existing processes and reporting.

Requirements

Fully qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA or CIMA), or a finalist actively working towards qualification. Experience in a Management Accountant role within property, residential, real estate, development or another capital-intensive environment would be advantageous, but candidates from other sectors will be considered. Strong Excel skills, including VLOOKUPs, PivotTables and the ability to build practical models and reporting tools. Experience of month-end, management accounts and financial reporting. Strong analytical skills with the ability to understand and explain financial performance. Commercially minded, with an interest in working closely with operational stakeholders. A proactive approach and the desire to improve how things are done rather than simply maintaining the status quo.

This is an opportunity to develop beyond traditional management accounting, gaining exposure to FP&A, commercial analysis and finance business partnering while playing a key role in strengthening the finance function.
