Trinity Estates Competitive Salary Hybrid (minimum 2 days per week in Hemel Hempstead office following successful probation)

ROLE OVERVIEW

We're looking for a Senior Client Accountant to join our growing Client Accounting team and take ownership of service charge accounting delivery across lost sites.

This is not a traditional transactional accounting role. You'll be responsible for managing the preparation, finalisation and delivery of service charge accounts while ensuring transitions to new managing agents are completed accurately, professionally and compliantly.

You'll work at the centre of operations, partnering with clients, auditors and internal teams to deliver high-quality financial outcomes and maintain confidence throughout the handover process.

This role offers the opportunity to build expertise in a specialist area of residential property accounting while joining a business that continues to invest in people, development and long-term career growth.

ROLE EXPECTATIONS

This role requires strong technical accounting capability, excellent organisation and the confidence to manage competing priorities in a fast-moving environment.

You'll be trusted to take ownership, maintain exceptional attention to detail and deliver consistently high standards without losing sight of deadlines or client experience.

• Service charge and statutory accounts are completed accurately and delivered on time

• Clients and managing agents receive a professional, responsive service

• Workflow targets and service standards are achieved consistently
• You become a trusted point of expertise within the Client Accounts team

HOW YOU'LL SPEND MOST OF YOUR TIME

Most weeks, you'll be:

• Preparing and finalising service charge and statutory accounts (RMC / RTM)
• Producing Interim and Final accounts packs for lost sites
• Managing stakeholder relationships across auditors, clients, managing agents and internal teams
• Supporting VAT reporting, budgeting activity and ad hoc financial reporting
• Investigating and resolving accounting queries efficiently and professionally
• Maintaining reporting trackers and ensuring data accuracy throughout delivery
• Supporting team performance by meeting agreed KPIs and deadlines

You'll work within a hybrid model, balancing office collaboration with focused independent working.

WHO THIS ROLE IS FOR

This role suits someone who:

• Enjoys ownership and delivering outcomes rather than simply processing work
• Has strong accounting fundamentals and takes pride in accuracy
• Can confidently manage deadlines and multiple priorities
• Builds credibility quickly with stakeholders
• Brings a proactive, solutions-focused mindset
• Is interested in developing specialist knowledge within residential property

EXPERIENCE THAT HELPS

• Part-qualified or qualified (AAT / ACCA / CIMA / ACA or equivalent)
• Experience preparing service charge accounts
• Strong bookkeeping and accounting knowledge
• Experience supporting financial reporting and reconciliations
• Property sector experience desirable
• Excellent attention to detail and communication skills

WHAT WE OFFER

We believe people perform at their best when they feel supported, valued and able to build a career they enjoy.

You'll receive a competitive salary aligned to your experience, alongside:

• 24 days annual leave
• Hybrid and flexible working opportunities
• Perkbox membership with discounts across retail and services
