Financial Accountant

We have a great opportunity for a Financial Accountant to join the Society's finance team. You will be based at our Head Office site in Binley, but we are fully committed to working flexibly with hybrid working so splitting your time between home and office is possible.

This is an exciting time to join Finance, as we are increasing the number and variety of tasks within the External Reporting space and to get involved in a broad spectrum of activity.

The Financial Accountant will take a lead role in the month end process for the Society and its subsidiaries, including journal postings and balance sheet reconciliations. In addition, the role holder will prepare analysis of statutory positions and oversight of the balance sheet.

This role involves technical aspects of financial accounting, such as intercompany and group consolidation. It will also include statutory and regulatory reporting, producing quality output within a set timeframe.

Additionally, the role will drive continuous improvement in the month-end process and collaborate with stakeholders including external auditors and other areas of the Society.

You will be a qualified accountant (ACA/ACCA) with prior experience working in a finance department or accountancy practice.

You will work with a number of stakeholders within finance and across the wider organisation to deliver key external reporting. You will be capable of working independently but will also contribute to the overall team.

As a mutual, we've always worked together to improve the lives of others. Now one of the largest Building Societies in the UK, over 3,000 of us share that goal, in our branches and Head Office. Our benefits go beyond basic pay, with a discretionary bonus scheme, a culture of reward and recognition and total support for our wellbeing.

We're serious about equality, of race, age, faith, disability, and sexual orientation, but also of personality and the way we think. By being yourself, you'll make us stronger. You can build so much more than a career.

Come and make a difference in our Society, that's been voted a 'Great Place to Work' by our teams.
