• Management Information: Deliver timely, relevant, and accurate financial information to stakeholders, helping guide strategic decisions.

• Collaboration & Support: Work closely with internal departments to advise on financial matters, providing support on business cases and cost-saving initiatives.

What They’re Looking For:

• Qualified Accountant: You’ll need to be a fully qualified accountant (ACCA, CIMA, ACA) with a solid grounding in financial management.

• Experience in Housing: Experience working within the housing sector or a similar environment is highly desirable. You’ll have a good understanding of the financial issues unique to housing providers.

• Technical Skills: Advanced Excel skills and the ability to work with financial systems such as Open Accounts to produce high-quality reports and analysis.

• Analytical Mindset: A strong ability to analyse complex financial data, identify trends, and provide actionable insights.

• Team Player: While you’ll be responsible for your own tasks, you’ll also work as part of a team, collaborating with colleagues across the business.

• Communication: You’ll need to have effective communication skills who can adapt their style depending on the task at hand.

This role is home based with the requirement to attend their Peterborough Head Office as required for training and meetings.

If this sounds like the ideal role for you, they would love to hear from you!
