To ensure Norwich is Fit for the Future, Norwich City Council is increasing its commercial activity through the development of affordable and private sector homes via its wholly owned company, Norwich Regeneration Ltd (NRL), striking a balance between number of homes, affordability and quality. The council is also insourcing its property and grounds maintenance joint ventures into subsidiary companies, providing significant opportunities for integration and efficiency.
We’re looking for a qualified, commercially astute and talented company accountant to manage a small team of finance employees providing financial advice, accountancy and bookkeeping services to the council’s wholly owned subsidiary NRL, as well as any other wholly or partially owned subsidiary companies insourced from joint venture arrangements. Company experience is essential and property-related businesses are even better for this hands-on role.
You will play a pivotal role in contributing to the development of NRL’s business plan and will be providing insight and commentary on financial performance through your preparation and presentation of monthly management accounts including variance analysis, profit monitoring and other financial KPIs for reporting to the Board. You will also work closely with the Managing Director to proactively manage cash flows and bank balances.
If you can bring energy, enthusiasm and have a proven track record in improving accounting processes and procedures then we want to hear from you.
