Role title: Senior Finance Officer (Housing Revenue Account)
Location: Hybrid, London Borough of Harrow Forward Drive, Harrow, HA3 8NT
Contract: 6 months
Rate: £400 per day (Umbrella)

About the Role:
London Borough of Harrow is seeking an experienced Senior Finance Officer to provide expert financial analysis and business partnering support to the Council's Housing Revenue Account (HRA). This is an exciting opportunity to play a key role in ensuring the financial sustainability of housing services while supporting strategic decision-making that directly impacts tenants and the Council's long-term housing delivery objectives.
Working closely with senior stakeholders, you will be responsible for delivering high-quality financial advice, ensuring compliance with statutory and regulatory requirements, and supporting the effective management of housing income streams, including rent and service charge setting.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Provide expert financial analysis and business partnering support across the Housing Revenue Account.
  • Lead and support the annual rent and service charge setting process, ensuring compliance with relevant legislation and guidance.
  • Deliver accurate financial forecasting, budgeting, and monitoring for housing services.
  • Support strategic financial planning and contribute to long-term housing delivery and investment programmes.
  • Prepare and present financial reports, business cases, and recommendations to senior management and key stakeholders.
  • Ensure robust financial controls and compliance with statutory, regulatory, and corporate requirements.
  • Analyse complex financial data and provide insightful recommendations to support operational and strategic decision-making.
  • Work collaboratively with service managers to improve financial performance and income sustainability.

Requirements:

  • Proven experience working within a local authority finance environment, ideally supporting a Housing Revenue Account (HRA).
  • Strong knowledge of HRA accounting, rent setting, service charges, and housing finance regulations.
  • Experience providing business partnering support to senior stakeholders.
  • Excellent budgeting, forecasting, and financial analysis skills.
  • Strong understanding of local government finance and statutory reporting requirements.
  • Ability to communicate complex financial information clearly to both finance and non-finance audiences.
  • Qualified, part-qualified, or qualified by experience accountant (CIPFA, ACCA, CIMA, ACA desirable).
