Are you a confident finance professional who enjoys developing people and turning financial information into meaningful insight? We’re looking for a Financial Accountant (Team Leader) to lead our Assistant Financial Accountants and deliver a timely, accurate and customer-focused service.

You’ll lead, support and develop the team, coordinate month-end activity and contribute to management accounts and reporting. Working with Senior Accountants, Finance Business Partners and the wider Finance team, you’ll ensure issues are reflected accurately, processes remain robust and financial information is clearly understood.

You’ll strengthen analysis and reporting, support annual budgets and our understanding of costs, and collaborate with colleagues and external stakeholders on statutory returns, accounts and budgets. You’ll champion strong financial controls, share knowledge and keep improving how we work.

You’ll be a qualified accountant, hold a relevant qualification or bring equivalent experience. You’ll have experience leading people in finance, with strong knowledge of transactional finance, month-end processes, financial returns and stakeholder reporting.

You’ll also keep your knowledge current and demonstrate our values and behaviours in everything you do.

You’ll be working from our Eastleigh office a minimum of three days per week to connect and collaborate with colleagues and the other two days can be worked from at a place of your choosing whether that’s at another of our offices, a cafe or at home.

If you’re curious, collaborative and ready to make an impact, we’d love to hear from you. Bring your expertise, ideas and leadership—and help us deliver a finance service that makes a positive difference every day.
