Job description

About Us – Martin Property Group

Martin Property Group is part of the Martin Family Office — a family-run investment business with over 45 years of experience across the UK and Ireland. We work as long-term partners across sectors like retail, manufacturing, tech, and food, while our property arm brings together in-house expertise across investment, development, construction, design, and asset management. Our focus is on the thoughtful acquisition and repositioning of both trading businesses and property assets — particularly in the commercial, residential, and retail space.

We keep things simple and straightforward: we work hard, support each other, and do things the right way. As a team, we’re open, collaborative, and always up for finding a better way of doing things. If you’re someone who enjoys being trusted to get on with your work — and likes a bit of craic along the way — you’ll fit right in.

The Role

We’re looking for a motivated and experienced Company Accountant to join our finance team here in our Derry office. This is an office-based role that offers a great opportunity to be part of the day-to-day rhythm of the team — we find working together in person brings better communication, faster learning, and a stronger sense of connection across the business.

You’ll play a key part in shaping the finance function as we continue to grow, working closely with senior management and contributing to decision-making and ongoing operational projects. The role offers real variety, from statutory reporting to cashflow management, systems improvement, and business support.

What You’ll Be Doing

·Preparing year-end statutory accounts (UK & ROI) and supporting schedules for group companies.

·Completing monthly balance sheet reconciliations.

·Preparing monthly and ad hoc management accounts and financial analysis.

·Preparing and submitting UK & ROI VAT returns and resolving related queries.

·Supporting VAT and PAYE compliance across the business.

·Overseeing and mentoring junior finance team members.

·Managing the preparation and submission of other statutory returns.

·Leading the preparation and monitoring of group cashflow.

·Managing cash balances and forecasting.

·Overseeing full ledger processes and ensuring accuracy.

·Strengthening accounting controls and implementing improvements to systems and procedures.

·Supporting the wider business with budgeting, forecasting, and commercial analysis.

·Liaising with HMRC, banks, suppliers, investors, and other external stakeholders.

·Picking up ad hoc financial tasks and reporting as needed.

What We’re Looking For

·A recognised accountancy qualification (ACA / ACCA / CIMA or equivalent).

·Experience preparing statutory accounts for multiple entities.

·A solid understanding of both UK and ROI VAT regimes.

·A track record of implementing or improving financial processes and controls.

·Strong communication skills and the ability to work collaboratively with colleagues and stakeholders.

Bonus Points (Desirable Experience)

·Experience in M&A or corporate finance environments.

·A background in identifying operational or financial inefficiencies and driving system improvements.

·Comfort working in a fast-paced, multi-entity environment.

What You’ll Get From Us

·A welcoming, down-to-earth team culture.

·The chance to make a real impact as we continue to grow.

·Support from a leadership team that values your input.

·Competitive salary and benefits.
