We are looking for an Accountant to manage the day-to-day transactional and operational finance for a large development project and its related entities. This role will support the day-to-day finance operations of a large development project and its associated entities, with a strong emphasis on transactional accounting and operational finance. The focus is on maintaining accurate records, robust controls, and reliable reporting to support the wider project.

Some elements of the overall finance function are supported by others within the wider team or by external advisers, so candidates do not need prior exposure to every aspect of the role.

Some experience within a property, construction, or other project-based environment would be advantageous, but is not essential.

Perform bank reconciliations and cashflow monitoring. Support payroll processing and consultant payments. Assist with monthly management accounts and board reporting. Support statutory accounts, audits, and company filings. Maintain strong financial controls and documentation. Skills and Experience

Qualified, part-qualified, or qualified-by-experience accountant. Strong transactional finance background essential. Experience in project, property, or development environments desirable. Good VAT/CIS knowledge and Excel skills. Organised, detail-focused, and reliable. This role suits someone who enjoys hands-on transactional finance and wants to work within a supportive structure on a long-term project.
