Job Description:

Hays Senior Finance are exclusively partnering with an established housing association based in Gloucestershire who are on an exciting journey of growth. We’re looking for a Finance Change and Improvement Management Accountant to play a key role in driving efficiency, automation, and consistency across our finance team. This is a fantastic opportunity to improve financial processes, enhance reporting, and support better decision-making across the business. Reporting to the head of finance, you’ll work closely with stakeholders to identify areas for improvement and implement innovative solutions that streamline financial reporting and processes. You’ll support the transition to a regional finance structure, ensuring high-quality outputs, consistency, and automation to reduce manual workloads.

A key part of your role will be enhancing financial systems, including Pamwin and COINS, to provide more accurate and insightful reporting that guides strategic decisions. You’ll ensure accurate financial accounts, reconciliations, and cash flow forecasts while supporting budgeting and financial modelling. Collaboration will be central as you work alongside finance teams and business planning colleagues to improve forecasting and deliver robust financial insights. You’ll also contribute to regulatory reporting, taxation, and compliance, ensuring the business meets its financial obligations.

Beyond the numbers, you’ll champion a culture of continuous improvement, encouraging colleagues to embrace change and new ways of working. You’ll build strong relationships across the business, helping to create a finance function that is proactive, efficient, and future-focused.

This role is a fixed-term contract for 12 months, working full-time. You will be based at my client's head office in Tewkesbury and travel to our other workspaces across the South West and Midlands with regular homework available. The role requires a DBS check.

What We’re Looking For:

• Qualified accountant (ACCA, ACA) with post-qualification experience.
• Strong background in business partnering, ideally in construction or housing associations.
• Excellent finance and operational systems knowledge, with expertise in financial reporting, internal controls, and business process management.
• Confident communicator, able to engage with senior stakeholders across finance and non-finance teams.
• Proven ability to translate financial data into meaningful insights and drive business improvements.
• Experience leading change initiatives and continuous improvement projects.
• Strong process mapping and data analysis skills; experience with Microsoft D365, Power BI, or Visio is a plus.
• Highly organised, methodical, and resilient, with the ability to manage multiple priorities.
• Collaborative and results-driven, with strong people skills and a practical approach to problem-solving.

If you’re a strategic thinker with a passion for financial transformation and process improvement, we’d love to hear from you.
