Proven background in management accounting, specifically within service charges or the social housing sector (highly desirable).
Advanced Excel skills (data modeling, pivot tables, and VLOOKUPs) are essential.
A strong understanding of service charge legislation and different housing tenure types.
Ideally you will be a qualified Accountant, or working towards this.
A pragmatic, inquisitive approach with the ability to interpret complex leasehold and tenancy agreements.
