Immediate Start. Own the Numbers. Keep the Close on Track. \n Are you a hands-on Financial Accountant who can land in a business, pick up the accounting cycle quickly and run a clean month-end without a long run-up? \n Are you available now, or within a couple of weeks? \n Aldenham Estate needs an experienced pair of hands to take ownership of operational accounting across a varied, multi-entity family-owned business for the next two to three months. It's a practical brief: monthly close, reconciliations, VAT, payroll administration, banking controls and cash flow. \n Full qualification isn't essential. If you're part-qualified or qualified by experience and you've done this work properly before, we want to hear from you. \n Experience within property, estates, rural businesses or another family-owned organisation would be useful, but isn't a requirement. \n The Role at a Glance \n Financial Accountant — Interim \n Aldenham Estate | Elstree, Hertfordshire \n Predominantly onsite with flex \n c.£350 per day outside IR35 / £400 – £420 per day inside IR35 \n 2-3 month contract | Immediate or short-notice start \n Full Time \n Reporting to: Head of Finance \n Direct Reports: Bookkeeper / Finance Administration Support as appropriate \n Your Background / Skills: Financial Accounting, Month-End, Management Accounts, Balance Sheet Reconciliations, VAT, Payroll, Cash Flow, Financial Controls, Multi-Entity Accounting, Finance Systems, Excel. ACA, ACCA, CIMA — qualified, part-qualified or QBE. \n About Aldenham Estate \n Aldenham Estate is a diversified family-owned estate based in Elstree, Hertfordshire, with activities spanning residential and commercial property, London Elstree Aerodrome, Home Farm Glamping, farming and environmental land management. \n Operating through a number of companies, partnerships and trusts, the Estate is currently strengthening its financial systems, reporting and controls. \n The Assignment \n We need a hands-on, technically strong Financial Accountant to provide operational stability and robust financial control. \n Reporting to the Head of Finance, you'll own the monthly close, reconciliations, VAT, payroll administration, banking controls, cash-flow preparation and finance systems across multiple entities. \n You'll bridge the internal bookkeeping function and external accountants, ensuring financial information is accurate and complete, while supporting the replacement of Sage 50, integration with Re-Leased and the documentation of clear, consistent finance procedures. \n About You \n You're a practical, hands-on accountant who enjoys doing rather than reviewing — and you're used to arriving somewhere new and getting productive inside a week. \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 with multi-entity complexity, investigating issues and finding workable solutions when things don'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 good relationships with finance colleagues, operational teams and external advisers. \n You'll likely bring \n • Strong technical accounting capability — ACA, ACCA or CIMA qualified, part-qualified or qualified by experience. \n • Solid financial accounting, month-end and balance sheet reconciliation experience. \n • Experience preparing management accounts and supporting year-end schedules. \n • A good understanding of financial controls, banking processes, VAT and payroll administration. \n • Excellent Excel skills and confidence picking up unfamiliar accounting systems quickly. \n • The ability to manage your own priorities and deadlines in a hands-on environment. \n • Availability to start immediately or at short notice. \n Experience of multi-entity accounting would be particularly valuable. Previous interim or contract work, and knowledge of Sage 50, Re-Leased, partial exemption VAT or finance systems implementation, would also be beneficial. \n What Success Looks Like \n • Accurate, on-time monthly close across all entities from your first cycle. \n • Fully reconciled balance sheets supported by appropriate schedules every month. \n • Accurate and timely VAT returns. \n • Reliable short-term cash flow visibility for the Head of Finance and Directors. \n • Accurate monthly payroll administration and reconciliation. \n • Clear, documented finance procedures that remain useful after you've gone. \n • Solid groundwork laid for the finance system replacement and Re-Leased integration. \n • Reduced key-person dependency across critical finance processes. \n Why Take This Contract? \n Plenty of interim work is one ledger, one trading company, one very long month. This isn't that. \n You'll be across property, aviation, hospitality, farming and sustainable land management inside a single organisation, with genuine ownership of the accounting cycle rather than a narrow slice of it — and a Head of Finance who wants the function left in better shape, not just held steady. \n • Genuine ownership of the accounting cycle from day one. \n • Exposure to a varied, multi-entity family-owned organisation. \n • Direct working relationship with the Head of Finance, Directors and operational teams. \n • Involvement in finance system replacement and process improvement. \n • Elstree base with onsite parking and good access from north London and Herts. \n Apply Now \n If you're an experienced Financial Accountant available at short notice and looking for a varied, hands-on interim role where you'll own the accounting and controls across a genuinely unusual business, we'd love to hear from you. \n Application notice...

You will provide expert advice on the accounting, financial and strategic implications of proposed investment, helping senior stakeholders understand the capital treatment, funding implications and longer-term impact of their decisions. \n You will also take ownership of key elements of the GLA’s capital accounting and reporting framework, including year-end closure, statutory reporting, fixed assets and capital financing. \n \n Key responsibilities include: \n\n • Leading the development and annual review of the GLA Capital Strategy.\n, • Supporting the planning and monitoring of the GLA’s capital programme alongside Finance Business Partners.\n, • Providing expert technical advice on capital investment, financing and accounting treatment.\n, • Advising on the distinction between capital and revenue expenditure across complex projects.\n, • Supporting senior stakeholders with the financial implications of capital investment decisions.\n, • Leading the capital elements of the year-end accounts and working closely with external auditors, valuers and shared-service partners.\n, • Overseeing the accuracy and completeness of capital-related financial reporting and the fixed asset register.\n, • Developing and maintaining the GLA’s Capital Guidance Manual and providing technical guidance across the organisation.\n, • Improving capital accounting, reconciliation and reporting processes.\n, • Developing and overseeing reporting of the Capital Financing Requirement and supporting relevant prudential indicators.\n, • Delivering high-quality capital statutory returns.\n\n \n Why consider the opportunity? \n This is not simply a year-end capital accounting post. \n The role sits at the point where technical accounting, strategic financial planning and investment decision-making come together. You will have the opportunity to influence the GLA’s approach to capital investment while remaining close to the technical detail that underpins robust financial management. \n It offers a strong combination of: \n\n • ownership of capital strategy;\n, • significant technical capital accounting responsibility;\n, • exposure to major capital investment decisions;\n, • senior stakeholder engagement;\n, • statutory financial reporting;\n, • capital programme monitoring;\n, • process improvement; and\n, • the opportunity to work across finance through a matrix structure.\n\n The GLA has a unique role in shaping the future of London. For a capital finance professional, this provides the opportunity to apply your technical expertise within an organisation whose investment decisions can have a significant and visible impact on the capital. \n \n Who we are looking for \n You will be a CCAB-qualified accountant, or equivalent, with substantial experience of capital accounting within a large and complex local authority environment. \n You should bring strong technical knowledge of local government capital accounting together with the credibility to advise, influence and challenge senior stakeholders. \n The successful candidate is likely to have: \n\n • CCAB qualification or equivalent, with up-to-date CPD.\n, • Significant experience working within the capital accounting function of a large and complex local authority.\n, • Strong knowledge of the CIPFA/LASAAC Code of Practice on Local Authority Accounting, the CIPFA Prudential Framework and relevant capital and finance accounting regulations.\n, • Experience of delivering published financial statements.\n, • Experience of working directly with external auditors.\n, • The ability to interpret accounting standards and legislation and apply them to complex capital projects.\n, • Experience providing credible professional advice and constructive challenge to senior stakeholders.\n, • A track record of improving finance systems, processes or reporting.\n, • Strong analytical skills, including the ability to interrogate financial systems and work effectively with Excel.\n\n \n Just as importantly, you will need to be comfortable operating across organisational boundaries. The role requires somebody who can translate complex technical issues into clear advice, build effective relationships and bring together stakeholders from finance and the wider organisation. \n The GLA is looking for someone who can combine technical authority with pragmatism: somebody able to challenge assumptions, solve complex problems and ensure that sound capital accounting supports better strategic investment decisions. \n \n Please apply here, or for a confidential chat, reach out to thomas@mlcpartners.co.uk
