About the Role
As a Rents Data Assurance Analyst, you will play a critical hands-on role in ensuring the integrity of rents-related financial data. This includes reconciling transactions between NEC (housing management system) and D365 (financial ledger system), validating the accuracy of arrears, bad debt provisioning, and related balance sheet entries. You will work closely with Finance and Housing Systems teams to investigate discrepancies, resolve historic mismatches, and support accurate financial reporting.

You will strengthen confidence in financial reporting by ensuring that rents, arrears, and related transactions are accurately reflected in the general ledger. Your work will directly support audit readiness and the successful transition to D365, helping to clear legacy issues and establish robust reconciliation practices.

Your key responsibilities will include reconciling rents, arrears, bad debt provisioning, and related creditor/debtor balances primarily in D365; investigating and resolving discrepancies between NEC and the general ledger, including historic mismatches; validating the accuracy of P&L and balance sheet entries related to housing income; collaborating with Finance and Housing Systems teams to understand data flows and root causes of variances; producing clear documentation and reporting on reconciliation outcomes and risks; supporting the Finance team in ensuring data integrity post-D365 go-live; and maintaining accurate data while managing large complex data sets on Excel and in-house systems.

We value and respect difference and are committed to building an inclusive culture by creating an environment where you can balance a successful career with your commitments and interests outside of work. We support flexible working arrangements that foster collaboration, combined with the power of in-person interactions. Our optimal balance of three days a week in the office or with customers ensures we're at our prime, crafting exceptional customer experiences and achieving outstanding business outcomes. Some roles lend themselves to flexible options more than others and we are open to discussing agile working opportunities during the hiring process.
