SUMMARY:
THIS ISN’T JUST AN ACCOUNTING JOB.
It’s an opportunity to step into a hands-on, high-impact finance role in the property finance space—where the numbers aren’t just numbers, they drive real decisions.
We’re on the lookout for a detail-driven, results-oriented Accountant who’s comfortable juggling multiple portfolios, working closely with different teams, and managing a full range of financial responsibilities from journal processing to site visits.
You’ll be joining a fast-paced and highly collaborative environment where accuracy, accountability, and communication are key.

POSITION INFO:

This role offers full exposure to financial reporting across multiple entities—you’ll own your numbers, and your voice will matter.
Your day-to-day will include:
Monthly reporting, budget variance analysis, and management pack prep
Balance sheet recons, VAT finalisation, and loan/interest calculations
Processing a wide range of journals (depreciation, accruals, salaries, etc.)
Maintaining the Fixed Asset Register and supporting annual valuations
Assisting with audit processes and tax computations
Performing site visits and building a deep understanding of your portfolios
Ad hoc analysis including adjustment accounts and feasibility studies
Working with internal teams to resolve queries and keep things moving
You’ll manage 5–8 portfolios, each with its own nuances—so multitasking, time management, and clear communication are vital.
 
WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR:
