Job Description

Fixed Term Contract until 30-Jun-2027

Are you looking for an exciting opportunity to make a difference in the housing community?

We’re on the hunt for a dedicated and enthusiastic Financial Systems Accountant to join our amazing Finance and Resources team at Fairhive! If you enjoy helping others, working in a supportive environment, and contributing to meaningful projects, this could be the perfect role for you.

About the role…

This is a rare opportunity to step into a pivotal role at a critical point in our finance transformation journey. With a number of major system upgrades and projects underway, we are investing in additional expertise to ensure we deliver smarter, more efficient and future-ready financial systems. You will support a significant programme of change while helping to maintain and enhance our existing finance systems.

Over the coming year, you will be instrumental in delivering a range of system improvements, including the migration of Asset 4000 and SUN Accounting to the cloud, alongside the scoping and implementation of a new forecasting, budgeting and reporting solution. At the same time, you will play an important role in supporting the testing and rollout of the new Housing System, ensuring finance requirements are fully understood and embedded.

Working at the intersection of Finance and IT, you will take ownership of system integrity, controls and performance, ensuring that systems are configured to provide accurate, meaningful data for reporting, forecasting and decision-making.

We are looking for someone who combines strong financial understanding with a passion for systems and change. You will be comfortable working in a fast-paced environment with multiple priorities, able to analyse complex requirements and translate them into practical, effective solutions. Strong communication skills and a proactive mindset will be key, as you collaborate with colleagues across the business and support users through change.

If you are looking for a role where you can combine finance, systems and transformation, and play a key part in shaping the future of financial operations, this is an excellent opportunity to make your mark.
