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.

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 with travel to our other workspaces across the South West and Midlands with regular home working 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.
