Management Accountant

Equifind is partnering with a highly regarded, well-capitalised private equity real estate investment firm on a rare 6-month opportunity for a newly qualified accountant ready to step up.

This isn't a back-office numbers role. From day one, you'll own a live portfolio of investment entities, acting as finance lead across a genuinely varied book of deals, working directly with asset managers, JV partners, investors and external advisers. If you want real exposure to how a PE real estate business actually runs, not just the accounts behind it, this is it.

What you'll be doing

\n
• Taking ownership of a portfolio of SPVs - preparing and reviewing monthly and quarterly management accounts, journals, accruals, prepayments and balance sheet reconciliations
\n
• Producing consolidated quarterly investor reporting, working with internal teams and third-party service providers
\n
• Supporting statutory accounts, tax compliance (VAT, Corporation Tax, CIS) and audit processes
\n
• Cashflow forecasting and liquidity monitoring across multiple entities, including investor distributions
\n
• Getting stuck into the financial side of live acquisitions, disposals and strategic initiatives — not just BAU reporting
\n
• Working across modern finance systems (Sage 200, Sage Intacct, Excel), with real scope to shape process improvements
\n

What you'll bring

\n
• ACA / ACCA / CIMA qualified, with ideally 1 year post-qualification
\n
• Solid grounding in management accounts, journals, accruals, prepayments and reconciliations
\n
• Confident, credible communicator, equally comfortable with senior stakeholders and external advisers
\n
• Strong Excel skills (VLOOKUPs, pivot tables, comfortable working with data at pace)
\n
• Organised, deadline-driven, and unfazed by juggling multiple entities at once
\n
• PE or property experience is a bonus but not essential
\n
• Available to start within the next 4 weeks
\n

What's on offer

\n
• Completion bonus on top of a competitive £60k - £65k base
\n
• Polished West End office, hybrid Monday–Thursday in office
\n
• Direct mentorship from a senior finance team with genuine institutional PE pedigree
\n
• A real springboard, strong platform for what comes next, whether that's within this business or beyond
