About Us – Martin Property Group
Martin Property Group is part of the Martin Family Office — a family-run investment business with over 45 years of experience across the UK and Ireland. We work as long-term partners across sectors like retail, manufacturing, tech, and food, while our property arm brings together in-house expertise across investment, development, construction, design, and asset management. Our focus is on the thoughtful acquisition and repositioning of both trading businesses and property assets — particularly in the commercial, residential, and retail space.
We keep things simple and straightforward: we work hard, support each other, and do things the right way. As a team, we’re open, collaborative, and always up for finding a better way of doing things. If you’re someone who enjoys being trusted to get on with your work — and likes a bit of craic along the way — you’ll fit right in.
The Role
We’re looking for a motivated and experienced Company Accountant to join our finance team here in our Derry office. This is an office-based role that offers a great opportunity to be part of the day-to-day rhythm of the team — we find working together in person brings better communication, faster learning, and a stronger sense of connection across the business.
You’ll play a key part in shaping the finance function as we continue to grow, working closely with senior management and contributing to decision-making and ongoing operational projects. The role offers real variety, from statutory reporting to cashflow management, systems improvement, and business support.
What You’ll Be Doing
· Preparing year-end statutory accounts (UK & ROI) and supporting schedules for group companies.
· Completing monthly balance sheet reconciliations.
· Preparing monthly and ad hoc management accounts and financial analysis.
· Preparing and submitting UK & ROI VAT returns and resolving related queries.
· Supporting VAT and PAYE compliance across the business.
· Overseeing and mentoring junior finance team members.
· Managing the preparation and submission of other statutory returns.
· Leading the preparation and monitoring of group cashflow.
· Managing cash balances and forecasting.
· Overseeing full ledger processes and ensuring accuracy.
· Strengthening accounting controls and implementing improvements to systems and procedures.
· Supporting the wider business with budgeting, forecasting, and commercial analysis.
· Liaising with HMRC, banks, suppliers, investors, and other external stakeholders.
· Picking up ad hoc financial tasks and reporting as needed.
What We’re Looking For
· A recognised accountancy qualification (ACA / ACCA / CIMA or equivalent).
· Experience preparing statutory accounts for multiple entities.
· A solid understanding of both UK and ROI VAT regimes.
· A track record of implementing or improving financial processes and controls.
· Strong communication skills and the ability to work collaboratively with colleagues and stakeholders.
Bonus Points (Desirable Experience)
· Experience in M&A or corporate finance environments.
· A background in identifying operational or financial inefficiencies and driving system improvements.
· Comfort working in a fast-paced, multi-entity environment.
What You’ll Get From Us
· A welcoming, down-to-earth team culture.
· The chance to make a real impact as we continue to grow.
· Support from a leadership team that values your input.
· Competitive salary and benefits.
