Speculative Application – Financial Accountant (Architecture Practice)
Own the ledgers, nail the statutory deadlines and translate project numbers into crystal-clear accounts.
Who We Are
Architecture Social partners with design studios that see finance as a strategic ally, not just a back-office function. Even when these practices aren’t advertising, they ask us to keep skilled Financial Accountants on standby—so we do.
What our clients typically ask for
Newly or recently qualified ACA / ACCA / CIMA (or finalist with strong practice-based experience)
Expertise in management & statutory accounts, balance-sheet reconciliations and year-end audit packs
Fluency with cloud systems—Deltek Ajera, Xero, Sage Intacct, QuickBooks—and advanced Excel for pivot-tables, look-ups and data clean-ups
Up-to-date knowledge of UK GAAP, VAT (plus CIS if projects involve subcontractors) and the confidence to liaise with auditors and HMRC
Experience mapping project WIP and revenue recognition in fee-driven environments (architecture, engineering, consultancy or creative agencies)
A curious, problem-solving mindset—ready to streamline processes, refine dashboards and turn raw data into actionable insight for directors and project leads
