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

Taking ownership of a portfolio of SPVs - preparing and reviewing monthly and quarterly management accounts, journals, accruals, prepayments and balance sheet reconciliations

Producing consolidated quarterly investor reporting, working with internal teams and third-party service providers

Supporting statutory accounts, tax compliance (VAT, Corporation Tax, CIS) and audit processes

Cashflow forecasting and liquidity monitoring across multiple entities, including investor distributions

Getting stuck into the financial side of live acquisitions, disposals and strategic initiatives — not just BAU reporting

Working across modern finance systems (Sage 200, Sage Intacct, Excel), with real scope to shape process improvements

What you'll bring

ACA / ACCA / CIMA qualified, with ideally 1 year post-qualification

Solid grounding in management accounts, journals, accruals, prepayments and reconciliations

Confident, credible communicator, equally comfortable with senior stakeholders and external advisers

Strong Excel skills (VLOOKUPs, pivot tables, comfortable working with data at pace)

Organised, deadline-driven, and unfazed by juggling multiple entities at once

PE or property experience is a bonus but not essential

Available to start within the next 4 weeks

What's on offer

Completion bonus on top of a competitive £60k - £65k base

Polished West End office, hybrid Monday–Thursday in office

Direct mentorship from a senior finance team with genuine institutional PE pedigree

A real springboard, strong platform for what comes next, whether that's within this business or beyond
