Management Accountant

Accounts Manager / Management Accountant

Location: SW London

Working pattern: Full-time, office-based

We are partnering with a growing, design-led property business specialising in exceptional private residential projects across the UK and internationally.

Following significant growth, the business is looking for an experienced Management Accountant/Accounts Manager to take ownership of its day-to-day accounts function while also supporting cash-flow forecasting, budgeting and wider financial reporting.

This is a hands-on, standalone position within a small, close-knit team. It would suit someone who combines strong bookkeeping experience with the confidence to manage their workload independently and provide forward-looking financial information to senior stakeholders.

• Managing the accounts inbox and responding to supplier and internal queries
• Processing invoices, payments, income, receipts and employee expenses
• Maintaining accurate financial records and completing reconciliations in Xero
• Entering and managing financial information within the company’s construction management software
• Preparing and maintaining rolling cash-flow forecasts across the wider group
• Supporting the preparation of budgets and financial forecasts
• Producing regular cash-flow reports and highlighting potential risks and opportunities
• Providing financial analysis to support business planning
• Working closely with the external accountant and assisting with year-end preparation
• Contributing to the continued development of finance processes as the business grows

The successful candidate will ideally have:

• At least five years’ experience in an accountancy, bookkeeping or similar finance role
• Strong hands-on experience across day-to-day accounts management
• Experience preparing or maintaining cash-flow forecasts
• Strong Xero and Excel skills
• A high level of accuracy and attention to detail
• The ability to organise and manage a standalone workload with limited supervision
• Confident written and verbal communication skills
• The ability to work effectively with colleagues, suppliers, senior management and external advisers

A relevant accounting qualification, or progress towards one, would be advantageous. Previous construction or property experience, including exposure to CIS or construction VAT, would also be beneficial but is not essential.
