Do you enjoy delivering accurate, well-controlled month-end accounts? Are you confident working autonomously and knowing your work is right before it’s reviewed? Do you thrive in a friendly, down-to-earth finance team where your contribution genuinely matters?

A small-to-medium-sized housing association in London is seeking an Interim Management Accountant for a three-month contract, starting as soon as possible. Based in an attractive, easy-to-reach office three days per week, you’ll play a key role in supporting the month-end timetable and ensuring the integrity of the organisation’s financial reporting.

You’ll be joining a supportive, hardworking finance team where accuracy, collaboration, and professionalism are valued. This role requires someone who is comfortable working independently, understands how their work fits into the wider picture, and brings a positive and proactive approach to a busy period.

• Preparing month-end journals, accruals, and prepayments
• Completing bank reconciliations and balance sheet reconciliations
• Ensuring financial controls are followed and documentation is accurate and up to date
• Assisting with month-end reporting and supporting senior colleagues with analysis
• Identifying and resolving discrepancies promptly, escalating issues when needed
• Collaborating with the wider finance team to ensure deadlines are met and information flows smoothly

This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys structured accounting work and takes pride in delivering clean, accurate numbers. You’ll find an approachable, committed finance team and a role where your impact will be visible throughout a busy quarter.

To be considered, please meet these criteria:

• Proven experience in a management accounting role, ideally within housing or a similar sector
• Confident preparing journals, accruals, prepayments, and reconciliations
• Able to work independently with minimal supervision and ensure your own accuracy
• Strong understanding of financial controls and month-end processes
• Positive, friendly, and professional — someone who integrates well with a motivated team
