Your immediate priority will be maintaining operational continuity and robust financial control, while supporting the Head of Finance with the replacement of Sage 50, integration with Re-Leased and documentation of clear, consistent finance procedures - bringing greater control, clarity and confidence to the numbers. You'll own the technical accounting, controls and operational finance processes that ensure the underlying numbers are accurate, reliable and audit-ready. Where You'll Add Value Financial Accounting & Control Lead the monthly close across all entities - from journals, accruals and reconciliations to fixed assets and reporting support, ensuring the underlying records are accurate, consistent and audit-ready. Statutory Accounts, VAT & Compliance Prepare VAT returns, year-end schedules and audit files, maintain the finance compliance calendar and act as a dependable point of contact for external accountants, auditors and advisers. Cash Flow, Working Capital & Banking Prepare short-term cash-flow forecasts, monitor working capital and credit control, and maintain robust banking, payment and access controls with clear approval responsibilities. Payroll & Operational Finance Work with the outsourced payroll provider and Bookkeeper to ensure payroll, pensions, invoicing, payments, reconciliations and transaction processing run accurately and on time. Systems & Process Improvement Support the replacement of the finance system and its integration with Re-Leased, including migration, testing and reconciliation. Document key procedures and introduce practical improvements that increase efficiency, control and operational resilience. About You You re a technically strong, hands-on accountant who enjoys doing, not simply reviewing. You like getting beneath the numbers making sure balance sheets reconcile, controls work and financial information can be trusted. Curious and pragmatic, you re comfortable navigating multi-entity complexity, investigating issues and finding workable solutions when everything doesn t fit neatly into a standard box. You ll be confident taking ownership within a small finance team, balancing competing deadlines and working independently while building strong relationships with finance colleagues, operational teams and external advisers. You'll likely bring • ACA, ACCA or CIMA qualification with strong technical accounting capability. • Strong financial accounting, month-end and balance sheet reconciliation experience. • Experience preparing management accounts and supporting year-end statutory accounts. • Strong understanding of financial controls, banking processes, VAT and payroll administration. • Excellent Excel skills and confidence working with accounting systems. • High attention to detail with a genuine commitment to accuracy and control. • The ability to independently manage priorities and deadlines within a hands-on finance environment. • Clear communication skills and confidence working with finance and non-finance stakeholders. • Experience within a multi-entity accounting environment would be particularly valuable. Knowledge of Sage 50, Re-Leased, partial exemption VAT or finance systems implementation/integration would also be beneficial. What Success Looks Like • Accurate and timely monthly close across all entities. • Fully reconciled balance sheets supported by appropriate schedules every month. • Clean, well-prepared year-end and audit files. • Accurate and timely VAT returns. • Reliable short-term cash flow visibility for the Head of Finance and Directors. • Effective banking, payment and access controls. • Accurate monthly payroll administration and reconciliation. • Clear, up-to-date finance procedures. • Successful support for finance system replacement and Re-Leased integration. • Reduced key-person dependency across critical finance processes. Why Join Aldenham Estate? This is an opportunity to take real ownership within a varied and unusual business environment. Rather than accounting for one straightforward trading business, you'll gain exposure across property, aviation, hospitality, farming and sustainable land management, all within the wider Aldenham Estate. You'll have • £55,000 - £60,000 salary depending on experience. • Genuine ownership of the accounting cycle. • Exposure to a varied, multi-entity family-owned organisation. • Close working relationship with the Head of Finance, Directors and operational teams. • Opportunity to strengthen financial controls and reporting. • Hands-on involvement in finance system replacement and process improvement. • Scope to make practical improvements to how the finance function operates.

Director of Strategy & Architecture Stevenage 150,000 + car allowance & bonus Hybrid - 1 day a week Your new company I am working on behalf of a large, privately-owned infrastructure services organisation that plays a critical role in delivering essential services across the UK. Operating at scale, the business supports a workforce of over 10,000 people and is embedded across sectors including energy, water, transport and telecommunications. The organisation is at a pivotal point in its evolution. Having established a strong operational footprint, it is now accelerating its focus on group-wide transformation, investing heavily in its technology landscape, operating model, and long-term strategic capabilities. This is not a business maintaining the status quo; it is one actively reimagining how it operates, how it leverages technology, and how it positions itself for future growth. Your new role This is a high-impact leadership role for an individual who can build architectural capability in an environment that is evolving quickly and investing seriously in its future technology landscape. The remit is not simply to govern architecture in the traditional sense, but to establish the foundations, create the right level of discipline and ensure that technology strategy develops in a way that supports long-term business growth. At its core, the role is about creating a structure where greater maturity is needed. The successful individual will be responsible for defining architecture principles, standards and roadmaps, while also remaining close enough to delivery to modernise systems, address capability gaps, and improve integration and automation across the estate. It is a position for someone who can operate strategically, but who is equally comfortable being hands-on when required. The broader mandate is to create an environment that can support scalable growth. That means making sure technology decisions are not just right for today, but will stand up to the demands of tomorrow, all while balancing an active change agenda and helping shape a more cohesive future state. Data, AI and emerging technologies are expected to play an increasingly important role in that journey, so this will suit someone who understands how to use architecture as an enabler of competitive advantage rather than simply a control function. From a profile perspective, this is likely to appeal to an experienced enterprise architecture leader who has worked in a complex or rapidly scaling organisation and has a track record of putting proper frameworks in place in environments where standards, governance or maturity have previously been inconsistent. The role requires broad architectural depth across applications, data, infrastructure, integration, cloud, security and AI/ML, alongside the judgement to know where to prioritise effort for the greatest commercial impact. What you'll need to succeed The successful individual is likely to be operating currently as a Head of Enterprise Architecture, Chief Architect or in a comparable group-level role within a complex or rapidly scaling organisation. You will bring a proven track record of establishing architecture frameworks in environments where governance, standards and consistency have historically been less defined and will be comfortable setting direction while building capability around them. From a technical standpoint, you'll bring broad, cross-domain expertise. This includes strong understanding across applications, data, infrastructure, integration, cloud and security, alongside a working appreciation of AI and machine learning and how these can be applied in a practical business context. Experience working with data platforms and analytics, coupled with an understanding of data governance, will be key in helping the organisation move towards a more insight-driven, future-ready operating model. There is also an expectation of formal grounding. You'll hold a degree in a relevant discipline such as Information Technology, Computer Science or Business Administration, alongside recognised enterprise architecture framework knowledge (TOGAF) and exposure to cloud environments such as Microsoft Azure. However, style and approach are equally important in this environment. The role requires someone who can translate architecture into clear, commercially relevant language, influencing senior stakeholders and bringing alignment across diverse parts of the business. The right person will be pragmatic, delivery-oriented and able to balance long-term ambition with the realities of an evolving organisation and active change agenda. Ultimately, this will suit an individual who is comfortable operating in ambiguity, who can bring structure without over-engineering, and who takes a hands-on approach to driving progress. Someone who can set a clear architectural vision, but just as importantly, ensure it is implemented in a way that delivers tangible outcomes for the business. What you'll get in return Company car (or allowance) and fuel card with a range of EV and hybrid vehicles to choose from Private health care and health care cash plan for you (and your family) Discretionary bonus scheme 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays Matched or contributory pension scheme What you need to do now If you're interested in this role, click 'apply now' to forward an up-to-date copy of your CV, or contact If this job isn't quite right for you, but you are looking for a new position, please contact us for a confidential discussion about your career.

Experience working with data platforms and analytics, coupled with an understanding of data governance, will be key in helping the organisation move towards a more insight-driven, future-ready operating model. There is also an expectation of formal grounding. You'll hold a degree in a relevant discipline such as Information Technology, Computer Science or Business Administration, alongside recognised enterprise architecture framework knowledge (TOGAF) and exposure to cloud environments such as Microsoft Azure. However, style and approach are equally important in this environment. The role requires someone who can translate architecture into clear, commercially relevant language, influencing senior stakeholders and bringing alignment across diverse parts of the business. The right person will be pragmatic, delivery-oriented and able to balance long-term ambition with the realities of an evolving organisation and active change agenda. Ultimately, this will suit an individual who is comfortable operating in ambiguity, who can bring structure without over-engineering, and who takes a hands-on approach to driving progress. Someone who can set a clear architectural vision, but just as importantly, ensure it is implemented in a way that delivers tangible outcomes for the business.
