Accounts Receivable Manager

Accounts Receivable Manager | Residential Property | Stockport (with travel to London)

We're working with a fast-growing UK residential property platform to find an Accounts Receivable Manager to build and lead their AR function from the ground up.

This is a foundational hire at an ambitious business backed by one of Europe's largest residential landlords. You'll design the processes, implement the controls, and own the AR operation as the portfolio scales across multi-family and single-family residential, before growing a significant sized team.

Key Responsibilities

Own the end-to-end AR function: billing, rent collection, cash application, reconciliations, deposits and arrears management

Deliver clean, timely month-end close with a clear audit trail

Lead the AR workstream in a new property management system implementation

Manage the arrears cycle from early intervention through to formal recovery

Build AR reporting and KPIs that give leadership confidence in cash performance

Start as a one-person function and hire and grow a team from 2027 as the portfolio expands

Key Requirements

Solid AR experience in a high-volume real estate environment, ideally residential

Proven ability to design processes and controls from scratch, not just operate within existing ones

Strong track record in cash collection and arrears management

Experience contributing to a property management or finance system implementation

Comfortable as a hands-on operator today, with the ambition to lead a team over time
