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...

Financial Controller\n Borehamwood | £70,000-£80,000 | Permanent \n A growing stock-led wholesale and e-commerce business is looking for a commercially minded Financial Controller to take ownership of its accountancy function following a sustained period of growth. \n This is less about inheriting a perfectly polished accountancy department and more about improving what is already there. The business has grown quickly, creating a genuine need to redesign processes, strengthen controls and build better financial reporting for the leadership team. \n Based in Borehamwood, you'll report directly into senior leadership, manage a small finance team and have the autonomy to shape how finance operates as the business moves into its next stage. The role\n As Financial Controller, you'll take responsibility for both the day-to-day finance operation and the development of a more scalable reporting and control environment. \n You'll be joining a stock-led wholesale and e-commerce business where understanding stock, margin, working capital and cash flow is particularly important. \n You'll be responsible for: \n\n • Producing monthly management accounts, including meaningful variance and margin analysis\n, • Redesigning finance processes and controls to support continued growth\n, • Developing management information and financial reporting for senior leadership\n, • Building budgets, forecasts and cash flow models\n, • Improving reporting around stock, gross profit, margins and working capital\n, • Taking ownership of balance sheet reconciliations and financial controls\n, • Managing cash, banking and funding relationships\n, • Overseeing transactional finance across receivables, payables and credit control\n, • Improving systems, automation and the wider finance infrastructure\n, • Managing intercompany accounting and reconciliations\n, • Preparing year-end files and liaising with external accountants and auditors\n, • Managing and developing a small finance team\n, • Working closely with operational and commercial teams across the business\nWhat we're looking for\n The successful Financial Controller will ideally be ACA, ACCA or CIMA qualified and comfortable operating in an entrepreneurial SME environment where finance still needs developing. \n You'll probably have: \n\n • Previous experience leading or significantly managing an SME finance function\n, • Strong management accounting and financial reporting experience\n, • Experience improving processes, controls and reporting following business growth\n, • Good knowledge of stock accounting, margins and working capital\n, • Strong Excel and financial modelling skills\n, • Experience using modern accounting and ERP systems\n, • Confidence working directly with senior management and challenging where appropriate\n, • A practical approach and willingness to remain hands-on when required\n\n Exposure to online retail platforms or e-commerce accounting would be useful, although the core requirement is experience within a stock-led wholesale environment rather than being an e-commerce specialist. What's on offer\n The role offers a salary of £70,000-£80,000 alongside the opportunity to genuinely influence how a growing business manages its finances. \n For someone based around Borehamwood, this is a particularly interesting opportunity if you've reached the point where maintaining someone else's processes is becoming less appealing than actually building better ones. \n Applications are welcomed from qualified finance professionals looking for a broad, visible role where financial reporting, process improvement and commercial involvement all sit firmly within their remit.
