Development Accountant
Posted 4 days ago by Peabody
Fixed-term contract for 9 months
South East London – Hybrid working available
Your typical day might start by reviewing financial data from recent property sales, ensuring all transactions are accurately posted and reconciled. You could then be introducing process improvements and meeting with the Sales and New Homes team to discuss budget variances and provide financial insights that support decision-making. Later, you might be preparing detailed reporting packs for internal review, ensuring that all documentation is ready for external auditors and presenting updates on Peabody’s sales pipeline.
As a Development Accountant, you will play a key role in managing Peabody’s diverse and growing sales pipeline, which includes market sales, shared ownership, and build-to-rent schemes. You’ll work closely with both the Development and Finance teams to ensure all accounting entries are completed on time, budget variances are clearly understood, and financial reports are accurate and delivered to stakeholders. Your work will contribute directly to the organisation's social objectives, helping ensure Peabody’s development activities align with its mission.
You’re someone with a passion for detail and a drive to ensure high-quality financial processes. Working in a collaborative environment, you’ll support the Finance Manager and Sales and New Homes team, contributing to monthly and year-end accounting processes, budget management, and financial reporting. You’ll need to be in the office for key meetings and project reviews, but you’ll also have the flexibility to work remotely when required.
Your role will involve managing the financials for Peabody’s sales and development projects, ensuring transactions are processed accurately, budgets are well-understood by all stakeholders, and reports are produced and distributed in a timely manner. You will also play a key role in year-end audits and support the Group’s long-term financial planning. If you’re enthusiastic about development finance and want to help Peabody deliver more homes to meet its goals, we want to hear from you.

- Able to work collaboratively with senior professionals, providing financial insights and support.
- Meticulous with a high level of attention to detail.
- Proactive in identifying issues and proposing practical solutions.
- Passionate about contributing to Peabody’s mission of delivering more homes.
