In-House Chartered Accountant (Hands-On) – Caring & Leading Group

This is a rare role for someone who enjoys both high-level accounting and the practical, day-to-day bookkeeping required to run a multi-entity care group.

• Manage group-level accounts and consolidations where needed
• Work with external accountants only for filing support (if required)
• Ensure accuracy, completeness, and compliance with all statutory requirements

5. Financial Reporting & Business Support

• Produce monthly management accounts for each home
• Provide budgeting, forecasting, and cashflow updates

• Chartered Accountant (ACA or ACCA) – essential
• Comfortable doing both high-level and hands-on bookkeeping
• Strong understanding of payroll, VAT, HMRC processes, and multi-company accounting
