Job description

Overview

Some Finance Manager roles are little more than glorified bookkeeping. This isn't one of those. This is a newly created role in a large property business with commercial and residential interests. What they need is someone to oversee those processes, bring structure, and give the MD and FD the kind of insight that helps them make better decisions. It's varied, it's hands-on, and it will grow with you.

What you'll be doing

• Overseeing rent and credit control processes (not carrying them out yourself)
• Ensuring accounts payable and receivable are properly managed
• Balance sheet and intercompany reconciliations
• Supporting with month-end and year-end reporting
• Budgeting and service charge accounts
• Overseeing expenses and petty cash
• Using Xero to run and improve financial processes
• Streamlining, refining, and improving how finance works across the business

What they\'re looking for

• Either an experienced Finance Manager, or a Management Accountant who\'s ready to step up
• Strong knowledge of Xero is essential
• Intercompany experience would be a big advantage
• Experience in the property sector would help, but it\'s not a dealbreaker
• Someone organised, detail-focused and confident enough to work closely with senior leadership
• Above all, someone ambitious who wants to grow with the role

You\'ll be working with a part-time Finance Director and a hands-on Managing Director, so you\'ll have support as well as autonomy. The team is small and close-knit, with flexibility built in. There\'s also free onsite parking which in Durham means avoiding city centre charges.

Unfortunately, due to the urgency of the role, we are only able to consider candidates with 1 month notice or less
