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.

This is far more than a standard reporting role. You’ll work closely with teams across Trading, Finance Systems, Data Services and Business Processes, helping to strengthen controls, improve consistency and support the delivery of accurate financial information across the subsidiary structure. From leading external audits and advising on VAT treatment to supporting operational teams and implementing process improvements, you’ll have the opportunity to make a visible impact from day one. For someone who enjoys technical accounting but also wants involvement in wider finance operations and continuous improvement, this is a genuinely rewarding opportunity within a well-known national organisation.

You will be contracted to our Haig House hub with a minimum expectation of two days per week working in person at the hub and flexibility for working remotely/at home when not on site.

Employee benefits include -

- 28 day’s paid holiday (plus bank holidays) increasing with service, with optional annual leave purchase scheme of up to 5 working days

- Generous pension contributions, with Employer contributions ranging from 6% to 10%
