Are you a technically strong finance professional who thrives on solving complex financial challenges, strengthening controls, and driving improvements in a fast-paced environment?
Hightown Housing Association is seeking an experienced Interim Financial Reporting & Technical Accounting Manager to join our Finance team during a critical and exciting period of change. This is an exceptional opportunity to play a key role in the implementation of our new finance system while providing specialist technical accounting expertise, balance sheet assurance, and financial reporting support.
This is not a "business as usual" role. You will be joining us at a pivotal moment, helping to shape processes, resolve historic accounting issues, strengthen financial governance, and ensure a smooth transition as we embed our new OneAdvanced Finance system.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
