About the Role
The Group Financial Accountant and Analyst will work within the Group Finance Team, reporting to the Group Financial Controller. This is a wide and varied role as part of the corporate head office team, combining financial reporting and financial analysis for a FTSE 250 Group. This position is an excellent first move out of practice for a newly ACA qualified accountant. You will bring the technical discipline built during your training – whether through audit, accounts preparation or advisory work – and apply it in a fast-paced, commercial, real-world business environment. In return, you will gain hands-on exposure to financial forecasting, land and stock analysis, investor and analyst reporting, and Group consolidation that simply isn’t available in practice – all within a small, supportive Group Finance team that invests in your development from day one. There is a proven track record of ACA qualified accountants joining Berkeley directly from practice and building long-term careers here, with many progressing from this Head Office role into senior operational finance positions across divisions within a few years.

Benefits
25 days annual leave, increasing with service to 33 days.
Health and wellbeing benefits including Private Medical Insurance.
Lifestyle benefits including access to an online discount platform.

Experience
