About The Role If you're a technically strong Financial Accountant looking for a role with real ownership, variety and visibility, this is an excellent opportunity to join the Royal British Legion on a 2 year fixed term contract as the lead accountant for a number of subsidiaries within the organisation. You'll take responsibility for statutory accounts, VAT and corporation tax returns, audit management and month end and year end accounting activity, ensuring accurate and compliant reporting across multiple entities. This is a role where you'll quickly become a key point of contact, working across different teams and business areas to keep financial processes running smoothly and reporting standards consistently high. Come and be part of the leading Armed Forces charity, making a difference to the lives of those who have served to keep us safe and protect our way of life. We're looking for someone with strong financial accounting experience who enjoys working in a complex environment and can confidently manage competing priorities across multiple subsidiaries. You'll need solid technical knowledge covering statutory reporting, reconciliations, intercompany accounting and audit requirements, alongside the ability to build strong relationships with both finance and non-finance colleagues. This role would suit someone who is naturally organised, analytical and proactive, with the confidence to challenge processes, resolve issues and improve the way subsidiary accounting activities are managed.
