Own the Numbers. Strengthen the Controls. Help Build a Better Finance Function. \n Are you a technically strong Financial Accountant who enjoys being close to the detail, taking ownership of the accounting cycle and making sure the numbers genuinely stand up? \n Do you thrive in a hands-on environment where accurate month-end reporting, robust reconciliations and strong financial controls really matter? \n Join Aldenham Estate at an exciting point in the development of its finance function, with the opportunity to take ownership of core accounting while supporting improvements to systems, processes and reporting. \n If you’re a technically confident Financial Accountant who wants to take ownership, strengthen controls and help shape a better finance function, we’d love to hear from you. \n Experience within property, estates, rural businesses or another family-owned organisation would be advantageous but isn't essential. \n The Role at a Glance \n Financial Accountant (Qualified) \n Aldenham Estate | Elstree, Hertfordshire \n Predominantly working onsite with flex \n £55,000 - £60,000 DOE \n Full Time | Permanent \n Reporting to: Head of Finance \n Direct Reports: Bookkeeper / Finance Administration Support as appropriate \n Culture: The culture is informal, flexible and family-friendly, with an emphasis on outcomes, collaboration and connection to the wider estate. \n The Opportunity \n We’re looking for a technically strong, hands-on Financial Accountant to become the operational accounting backbone of the finance team. Reporting to the Head of Finance, you’ll take ownership of the accuracy and integrity of the Estate’s underlying financial records, including the monthly close, reconciliations, VAT, payroll administration, banking controls, cash-flow preparation and day-to-day finance systems administration. \n Sitting between the internal bookkeeping function and external accountants, you’ll ensure financial information across the Estate’s multiple entities is accurate, complete and presented in the right format. Your immediate priority will be maintaining operational continuity and robust financial control, while supporting the Head of Finance with the replacement of Sage 50, integration with Re-Leased and documentation of clear, consistent finance procedures - bringing greater control, clarity and confidence to the numbers. \n You'll own the technical accounting, controls and operational finance processes that ensure the underlying numbers are accurate, reliable and audit-ready. \n About You \n You’re a technically strong, hands-on accountant who enjoys doing, not simply reviewing. \n You like getting beneath the numbers—making sure balance sheets reconcile, controls work and financial information can be trusted. Curious and pragmatic, you’re comfortable navigating multi-entity complexity, investigating issues and finding workable solutions when everything doesn’t fit neatly into a standard box. \n You’ll be confident taking ownership within a small finance team, balancing competing deadlines and working independently while building strong relationships with finance colleagues, operational teams and external advisers. \n You'll likely bring \n • ACA, ACCA or CIMA qualification with strong technical accounting capability. \n • Strong financial accounting, month-end and balance sheet reconciliation experience. \n • Experience preparing management accounts and supporting year-end statutory accounts. \n • Strong understanding of financial controls, banking processes, VAT and payroll administration. \n • Excellent Excel skills and confidence working with accounting systems. \n • High attention to detail with a genuine commitment to accuracy and control. \n • The ability to independently manage priorities and deadlines within a hands-on finance environment. \n • Clear communication skills and confidence working with finance and non-finance stakeholders. \n • Experience within a multi-entity accounting environment would be particularly valuable. \n Knowledge of Sage 50, Re-Leased, partial exemption VAT or finance systems implementation/integration would also be beneficial. \n What Success Looks Like \n • Accurate and timely monthly close across all entities. \n • Fully reconciled balance sheets supported by appropriate schedules every month. \n • Clean, well-prepared year-end and audit files. \n • Accurate and timely VAT returns. \n • Reliable short-term cash flow visibility for the Head of Finance and Directors. \n • Effective banking, payment and access controls. \n • Accurate monthly payroll administration and reconciliation. \n • Clear, up-to-date finance procedures. \n • Successful support for finance system replacement and Re-Leased integration. \n • Reduced key-person dependency across critical finance processes. \n Why Join Aldenham Estate? \n This is an opportunity to take real ownership within a varied and unusual business environment. \n Rather than accounting for one straightforward trading business, you'll gain exposure across property, aviation, hospitality, farming and sustainable land management, all within the wider Aldenham Estate. \n Apply Now \n If you're a technically strong Financial Accountant looking for a varied, hands-on role where you'll take genuine ownership of financial accounting and controls while helping strengthen a developing finance function, we'd love to hear from you. \n Application notice...
