The successful candidate will work across a varied portfolio of real estate and fund structures, partnering closely with financial controllers, senior leadership, external auditors and advisers.

  • Take ownership of the firm’s ISAE 3402 assurance programme, including coordinating stakeholders, reviewing control findings and overseeing remediation activity.
  • Act as an internal technical accounting specialist, advising on complex and non-routine transactions.
  • Prepare technical accounting papers and supporting documentation for audit sign-off.
  • Monitor changes to financial reporting standards and assess their impact across the business.
  • Support accounting for acquisitions, disposals, development activity, debt restructurings and new entity onboarding.
  • Review quarterly management accounts and investor reporting to ensure accuracy and consistency.
  • Contribute to finance transformation and process improvement projects, with a focus on improving controls, data quality and reporting efficiency.
  • Support the evaluation and implementation of new finance systems and reporting tools.
  • Deliver technical training and support the professional development of ACA and ACCA trainees within the business.
Candidate ProfileThe successful candidate will ideally have:
  • ACA, CA or equivalent professional qualification.
  • A strong audit background, ideally gained within a Big Four or top-tier accountancy firm.
  • Experience preparing or reviewing statutory financial statements under IFRS or FRS 102.
  • Strong technical accounting knowledge and the ability to research and document complex accounting matters.
  • Exposure to ISAE 3402 or wider controls assurance engagements would be highly advantageous.
  • Experience within real estate, investment funds, asset management or financial services would be beneficial, although strong technical candidates from other sectors will also be considered.
  • Excellent organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple entities, deadlines and stakeholders.
  • A proactive and commercially minded approach, with a genuine interest in improving processes and controls.
  • Strong Excel skills and confidence working with accounting and financial reporting systems.
The OpportunityThis is an excellent opportunity to join a growing and technically sophisticated real estate investment consultancy. The successful candidate will benefit from:
  • Exposure to a growing, multi-fund real estate investment business with a varied and technically interesting portfolio.
  • Significant autonomy and ownership from day one, with a clear path to taking on broader finance leadership responsibilities.
