About the Business

A fantastic opportunity to join a well-established service organisation based in Shrewsbury as a Commercial Reporting Accountant. Reporting directly to the Head of Finance, this is a genuinely influential role where you will play a critical part in shaping the long-term financial sustainability of the business. Alongside core financial accounting responsibilities, you will lead the financial planning and business plan modelling that underpins major strategic decisions — making this a broad, varied and rewarding position within a friendly, supportive finance team.

Main Duties

As a Financial Accountant, your main duties include:

* Take ownership of the business plans that underpin long-term financial sustainability, producing robust analysis, modelling and forecasting to guide strategic decision-making

* Produce monthly management accounts, including profit & loss, balance sheet and supporting schedules, with insightful commentary and analysis

* Maintain rolling monthly forecasts and prepare capital reporting, fixed asset and stock tracking to support depreciation charges

* Lead the year-end process, delivering both management and statutory accounts

* Manage tax compliance across VAT, Corporation Tax and PAYE/NIC, including VAT return workings and associated reconciliations

* Partner with operational and development colleagues to build annual business plans, prepare quarterly forecasts and monitor spend against plan for Board-level reporting

* Complete monthly reconciliations across key balance sheet control accounts (such as GRNI, VAT and payroll) and own the monthly close process

* Prepare monthly cash flow statements and help control expenditure across the organisation

* Support the annual budgeting and business plan refresh, providing scenario planning and modelling

* Oversee rent and service charge setting, including the annual rent-setting cycle

* Act as a key point of contact for internal and external auditors, supporting the Head of Finance through statutory reporting and audit

* Line manage, develop and support a Financial Accounts Assistant

* Champion strong financial governance and take a proactive approach to risk management

Location / Office / Culture

The role is hybrid, with 3 days in the office based in Shrewsbury and the remainder worked from home. You will join a close-knit, supportive finance team within a values-driven not-for-profit, where your work makes a genuine and lasting difference to the local community.

What We Are Looking For

The ideal candidate will have:

* ACA/ACCA/CIMA qualified – ideally fully qualified, though candidates qualified by experience will be considered

* Strong analytical skills, with the ability to interpret data and translate it into clear, actionable insight (essential)

* Strong Excel skills are essential

* Confidence producing end-to-end management and statutory accounts

* Experience within the housing sector is preferred, but not essential

Why Join the business

* Hybrid working with 3 days in the office

* Be part of a not-for-profit where your work has real social impact

* A broad, influential role with genuine variety and the chance to shape strategic decisions

* Supportive finance team and leadership
