This is a strong move for a part qualified or newly qualified accountant who wants more ownership, more visibility and a broader role inside a growing real estate business.

The role is with a long established private property business with c.£2bn AUM and around 40 years of history in London real estate. The portfolio spans shops, offices, light industrial assets and student accommodation, with a major new operational project now driving the next stage of growth.

This is not just a month end role. You would sit directly under the Finance Director and take ownership across c.8 to 10 entities, while helping build the finance processes around a new operational business that could materially increase the size of the group.

The role covers:

* Full month end ownership across c.8 to 10 entities
* Monthly management accounts, sales imports, accruals, prepayments and balance sheet review
* Budget tracking across construction projects, including actuals vs budget reporting
* Working with project and operations teams to investigate discrepancies and track performance
* Oversight of AP output, bank reconciliations and payment imports
* VAT returns, audit files and year end support
* Supporting system upgrades across operational and construction finance
* Helping set up finance processes for a new operational venture

You will suit this if you have strong management accounting experience, real estate exposure and the confidence to work with operational and project teams.

You do not need to be the finished article. The better fit is someone part qualified or recently qualified who wants to learn quickly, take on more responsibility and become genuinely useful to the FD.

Why it is worth considering:

* c.£2bn AUM private real estate business
* Direct exposure to the Finance Director
* Ownership across 8 to 10 entities
* Project budget control and construction finance exposure
* New operational business being built from the ground up
* Systems, automation and process improvement work
* Proper breadth across month end, projects, operations and finance build out

The trade off is that this is 5 days a week in the office. The upside is that you are joining a smaller finance team where you will be visible, close to the decisions and able to broaden quickly.

This would suit someone who wants more than a standard management accounting role and is ready to step into a business where finance is still being shaped around growth.
