A high-profile mixed-use destination asset in West London is appointing an experienced Estate Property Accountant to take ownership of rental income, service charge accounting and financial controls across a complex, operational environment.

This role sits at the heart of the estate’s finance function and offers genuine breadth, autonomy and visibility. The estate is part‑way through a multi‑year redevelopment and operational transformation, making this a compelling opportunity for a property accountant who enjoys scale, complexity and process improvement.

  • Completion statements, insurance and utilities recharges
  • Funding requests and tenant query management
Service Charge
  • End‑to‑end responsibility for service charge budgets, quarterly accounts and year‑end reconciliations
  • Apportionment setup, billing and balancing charges
  • Improving service charge models, commentary and reporting standards
Treasury & Controls
  • Bank reconciliations, rent deposits and supplier payments
  • OPEX funding oversight and cash controls
  • Month‑end reporting, journals, VAT and CIS
Systems & Process Improvement
  • Lease and property data onboarding and maintenance
  • Driving improvements within Yardi (reporting, workflows, data integrity)
  • Supporting wider initiatives around PO management and audit frameworks
What we’re looking for
  • Strong experience as a Senior Property Accountant or Service Charge Accountant within a complex commercial or mixed‑use estate
  • Solid understanding of RICS service charge regulations, VAT and CIS
  • Confidence interpreting commercial leases and management agreements
