Fixed Asset Accountant role - Basingstoke - £58k-£68k depending on experience

An established, large-scale organisation within the property and infrastructure sector is seeking a Senior Fixed Asset Accountant to join its central finance function. The role is primarily hybrid, combining home working with time spent in a modern head office environment in the South East, with occasional travel to a secondary London office if required.

The organisation manages a substantial national asset base and plays a key role in long-term investment, development and community-focused projects across multiple regions in England.

The Role

This position sits within the capital and financial accounting team and takes ownership of fixed asset accounting across a complex, high-value asset portfolio. Reporting to the Capital Accounting lead and working alongside other experienced accountants, you will be responsible for ensuring robust control, governance and reporting over fixed assets, supporting accurate month-end reporting and statutory compliance.

You will have a hands-on role in maintaining and improving fixed asset processes, overseeing additions, disposals and transfers, and ensuring the asset register is complete, accurate and aligned with accounting policies. You will also contribute to policy development and work closely with non-finance stakeholders to embed best practice across the business.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Leading fixed asset accounting processes to ensure accurate and timely monthly reporting
  • Maintaining and reconciling a large and complex fixed asset register, including component accounting
  • Producing monthly analysis and commentary, including depreciation and amortisation forecasting
  • Supporting the development and application of capitalisation policies and accounting guidance
  • Acting as a subject matter expert on fixed assets, strengthening controls and driving process improvements
  • Supporting the preparation of annual statutory accounts and liaising with external auditors
  • Delivering fixed asset–related projects to improve efficiency, controls and data quality
  • Coordinating balance sheet reconciliations and working closely with the wider financial accounting team

About You

You will be a qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA or CIMA) with strong experience in fixed asset or capital accounting, ideally gained within property, housing, infrastructure or another asset-intensive environment. Candidates from large commercial organisations with complex asset registers are also encouraged to apply.

You will bring:

  • A strong technical understanding of fixed asset accounting and related controls
  • Working knowledge of relevant accounting standards and legislation such as FRS 102 and sector-specific guidance
  • Excellent analytical skills with the ability to produce clear, insightful financial commentary
  • Strong attention to detail and a high level of numerical accuracy
  • The ability to communicate complex financial matters clearly to non-finance stakeholders
  • Proven stakeholder management skills across finance and the wider business
  • Strong Excel skills and confidence working with finance and asset systems

If you feel you are a good fit for the above role then please apply attaching your most recent up to date CV and we can discuss the role in more detail and I can answer any questions you may have.
