Are you a qualified accountant with strong statutory accounts experience looking for your next contract opportunity? We are working exclusively with a leading London-based organisation to recruit a Financial Accounting Manager on a 9 month fixed term contract.
The Role
This is a pivotal position within a busy Group Finance function, with primary responsibility for managing the end-to-end production of a high volume of statutory accounts ahead of a Summer 2027 filing deadline. You will coordinate the external audit process across a significant number of entities, liaise with the Group Tax team on statutory disclosures, and support the wider team with month-end close and the production of the Group's Annual Report and Accounts.

Ideally we are looking for someone that has experience working in the property/real estate sector.
