- Provide insights into capital accounting and business partnering to ensure accurate financial planning.
- Prepare journals and ensure that all capital accounting activities, such as additions and disposals, are recorded accurately on a weekly basis.
- Allocate time to review and enhance internal controls, ensuring alignment with audit requirements and regulatory frameworks.
Requiring you to travel into their central London office once a week, this organisation is a great place to work, with a diverse and inclusive culture that promotes equality and supports employee growth. As a leading housing association, it offers strong career progression opportunities, and a flexible management style tailored to individual development.
The ideal candidate will have:
- Fully qualified Accountant status (or near completion), with a strong commitment to continuous professional development.
- Previous experience in the social housing sector, along with a solid understanding of IFRS, Housing SORP, and capital accounting frameworks.
- A proactive mindset, strong communication skills, ability to collaborate effectively, and a keen eye for identifying and addressing challenges before they arise.
