As a Technical Accounting and Assurance Lead you will help shape strong financial governance and technical accounting assurance at Hyde
Hyde is looking for an experienced Technical Accounting and Assurance Lead to join our Finance function. This is a high-impact specialist role for a technical accounting professional who can interpret complex requirements, strengthen financial controls and provide clear, practical guidance across a complex organisation.
Reporting to the Financial Reporting Director, you will be the recognised subject matter expert for technical accounting, financial reporting assurance, finance governance and regulatory change. Rather than producing routine accounts, you will provide expert interpretation, resolve complex queries, review controls and help Finance respond effectively to legislative, regulatory and accounting developments.
What you’ll do
- Own and maintain finance guidance, technical accounting policies and key control documentation.
- Set clear standards that support accurate financial reporting, effective governance and consistent finance operations.
- Provide expert advice on accounting standards, financial controls, legislation, regulation and internal policy.
- Resolve complex technical accounting and assurance queries, documenting clear and traceable recommendations.
- Assess the impact of regulatory and accounting changes and support proportionate, well-controlled implementation.
- Review processes, systems and controls to identify risks, gaps and opportunities for continuous improvement.
- Prepare guidance, briefings and decision-support materials for finance and non-finance stakeholders.
- Support audit, regulatory review and internal assurance activity by ensuring evidence and guidance are robust.
What we’re looking for
- Strong knowledge of technical accounting, financial reporting controls, accounting standards, regulatory requirements and finance governance within a large complex real estate/housing business.
- Experience acting as a finance subject matter expert and translating complex requirements into practical guidance.
- A strong assurance and review background, with the ability to identify risk, control gaps and proportionate improvements.
- Excellent communication and influencing skills, with confidence explaining complex financial matters to varied audiences.
- A collaborative, evidence-led approach and a commitment to improving controls, guidance and ways of working.
Why join Hyde?
You will have the opportunity to influence financial governance across Hyde, work closely with senior finance stakeholders and make a visible contribution to the quality, consistency and resilience of our financial reporting and controls. You will join an organisation that is customer driven, inclusive, collaborative and committed to purposeful innovation.
