Are you a qualified accountant with strong Housing sector experience? Do you enjoy taking ownership of VAT, reconciliations and audit preparation? Are you seeking a part-time role that balances autonomy and impact?

My client, a respected Housing provider in Kent, is recruiting a Part-Time Senior Financial Accountant on a 3-6 month contract to support them during a critical phase of financial delivery. This interim post will play a key role in laying the foundations for a successful FY25/26 audit, while also overseeing the organisation’s VAT compliance and complex reconciliation activity.
