Sheridan Maine is delighted to be partnering with a highly regarded and established organisation to recruit an Accountant to join their growing finance team. This is an excellent opportunity for an ambitious finance professional looking to develop their career within a collaborative and supportive environment. You'll gain exposure to a varied client portfolio, take ownership of financial reporting responsibilities, and work alongside experienced property and finance professionals who are committed to delivering an exceptional service. Whether you're already experienced in service charge accounting or looking to apply your accounting knowledge in a specialist sector, this role offers genuine long-term career development.

  • Building strong working relationships with internal stakeholders and clients
  • Assisting with ad hoc reporting and finance projects as required

What We're Looking For

We're keen to hear from candidates who enjoy working in a fast-paced environment and have a proactive, solutions-focused approach. You'll ideally have:

  • ACA, ACCA or CIMA qualification (or be actively studying towards one)
  • Previous experience within an accounting or financial reporting role
  • Practice or property accounting experience would be advantageous but isn't essential
  • Excellent attention to detail and strong analytical skills
  • The ability to manage multiple deadlines and prioritise your workload effectively
  • Strong communication skills with confidence working with both finance and non-finance stakeholders
  • Advanced Excel skills and good knowledge of Microsoft Office

What's on Offer?
