What makes the role exceptional

This is a technical audit focused role within a sophisticated finance function. You will work closely with the Financial Controller and liaise directly with a Big Four audit firm, giving you genuine visibility across group-level reporting.

  • Lead preparation of circa 15 audited Financial Statements for Companies House and/or lender submission
  • Liaise with a Big Four audit firm as the group’s external auditors throughout the audit process
  • Participate actively in the annual Group Audit and Group Half Year Audit processes
  • Provide annual leave cover for the Financial Controller as required
  • Support the wider Finance team with technical financial reporting matters

Requirements

  • Qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA or equivalent)
  • Background in audit, ideally from a practice environment
  • Exposure to Real Estate or property sector finance
  • Comfortable managing a high volume of entities and submissions concurrently
  • Strong understanding of UK GAAP / FRS 102 and Companies House requirements
  • Confident communicator able to work effectively with external auditors and senior stakeholders

Rewards and benefits

  • Interim contract with a targeted start by the end of this month ideally
  • Exposure to a globally recognised real estate investment business
  • Direct involvement in high-profile group and subsidiary audit processes

We are an equal opportunities recruiter, valuing diversity and inclusion and welcoming applications from all suitably qualified individuals, regardless of background.
