Job description

The opportunity

Are you an exceptional Management Accountant with a passion for driving process improvements and making the most of our new finance management system, Business Central? Do you thrive on building strong business partnerships? Are you looking to make a meaningful impact on the lives of thousands of people across Wales?

An exciting 1 year fixed term opportunity has arisen to join Wales & West Housing Association (WWHA) – a values-driven organisation with a strong social purpose. We’re looking for a Management Accountant (Operations) who combines business insight, technical expertise, and a proactive approach to support our directors in maintaining our housing stock to the highest standards.

Your attention to detail and strategic insight will be key in developing quarterly rolling forecasts and supporting informed decision‑making. This is a hands‑on role, working closely with teams across the organisation to produce accurate management accounts, supporting schedules, and clear financial narratives that explain performance and guide future action.

As the Management Accountant (Operations), you will play a central role in maximising the benefits of our newly implemented finance system, Business Central. You’ll drive improvements in financial processes, enhance data quality, and increase the timeliness of reporting by automating tasks and streamlining workflows.

You’ll be part of a dedicated finance maintenance team of four, with one direct report, and will work closely with the other two members of team, the Finance Manager and Financial Accountant to deliver timely information and continuous improvements. Your strong interpersonal skills and collaborative approach will help foster a culture of learning and innovation, always looking for ways to do things better.

We’re passionate about our values and committed to delivering the best possible service to our residents, staff and stakeholders. Working in a dynamic environment, where systems and processes are constantly evolving, we’re looking for someone who can be an agent for change and deliver real, measurable benefits to the association to make difference to the lives and communities of our residents in Wales.

If you're looking for the next step in your career or a new opportunity within an ambitious and forward‑thinking organisation, this could be the ideal role for you. We offer a competitive benefits package that includes generous annual leave, flexible working arrangements, a choice of pension schemes, financial support for medical and optical treatments through a Benenden health Cashplan. We offer clear opportunities for career progression, with annual incremental salary increases and inflationary uplifts, along with financial support towards gaining professional qualifications.
