Are you a qualified accountant with Housing sector experience and a working knowledge of systems administration? Do you have a background in Management Accounting in the Housing sector? Are you looking for an opportunity to support a business undergoing significant transformation?

I’m working with a social housing provider to recruit an Interim Finance Systems and Management Accountant on a 6-12 month contract. This role is almost completely remote and blends hands-on accounting with Finance Systems administration and offers a chance to contribute to business as usual while the wider team navigates major systems and reporting changes.

Key responsibilities include:

• Preparing and posting journals relating to Housing-specific activity
• Supporting monthly reconciliations and maintaining reporting integrity
• Producing supporting analysis for management accounts and year-end notes
• Systems administration: managing user access, code maintenance, reporting permissions and responding to audit queries
• Supporting subsidiary accounts and maintaining the Chart of Accounts
• Liaising with the wider finance team to ensure accurate and timely period-end reporting

This is a great opportunity to join a team mid-way through a wide-reaching transformation, with new systems being introduced. You’ll play a key role in keeping business-as-usual processes running while also supporting the clean-up and integration of financial data across systems.

The role is largely remote, with occasional office presence (approximately once every two months).

To be considered, please meet the following criteria:

• Fully qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent) – strong finalists may be considered
• Prior experience in the Housing sector is strongly preferred
• Demonstrable experience using and administering finance systems
• Confident journal preparation, reconciliation and reporting skills
• Comfortable with systems administration and coordinating responses to audit

Interviews are being arranged quickly, and the hiring manager is keen to make an appointment. Apply now if you meet the criteria and want to be part of a team driving improvements in financial systems and reporting.
