Are you an experienced finance leader with a passion for reporting excellence and systems optimisation? Do you thrive in transforming reporting functions and motivating teams through change? Are you available for an interim role with a large-scale, Midlands-based housing provider?

This role is an exciting opportunity to lead the reporting function within a well-established and forward-thinking organisation. The team is responsible for delivering management accounts, insightful management reporting, and financial forecasting. Your role will be to lead and empower this high-performing team, identifying immediate improvements to processes and reporting outputs, and ensuring systems are being utilised to their full potential.

The role is offered on an initial 3-6 month basis, with presence in the Midlands office ideally once per week-though candidates further afield will still be considered where experience is closely aligned.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Leading the Reporting team to deliver accurate and timely management accounts and forecasts
  • Identifying "quick wins" to streamline reporting processes and outputs
  • Enhancing the use of finance systems to drive better insight and reporting capabilities
  • Ensuring reporting timelines are met and outputs are meaningful to stakeholders
  • Supporting the development and motivation of the reporting team through a time of change

This is a fantastic opportunity to step into a leadership role in a values-driven organisation that plays a vital role in its sector. With strong support from senior finance and executive leadership, this is your chance to make a clear and immediate impact on reporting quality, financial insight, and team performance.

To be considered, you'll need to:

  • be a fully qualified accountant (e.g. ACA, ACCA, CIMA) with extensive experience in finance leadership roles.
  • Have prior experience within the social housing sector - ideally gained in a large, complex environment, showing a track record of improving reporting functions, getting the best from finance teams, and ensuring data is turned into useful insight.

This is an urgent requirement-apply today to be considered.
