Property Accountant

Property Accountant

• Lead budgeting and forecasting across a property portfolio
• Manage funding across commercial development and construction projects
• Part-time or full-time opportunity for the right candidate

My client is seeking an experienced Property Accountant to join a specialist property lending environment, offering the opportunity to combine strong property accounting expertise with loan administration and lending operations.
  
This role would suit someone who enjoys end-to-end ownership of the accounting function, while also looking to gain greater exposure to the commercial side of property lending and the full lifecycle of a loan — from funding through to repayment.
  
You’ll be joining a hands-on, collaborative environment where everyone plays an active role in supporting the team. The role offers genuine variety and the opportunity to take ownership across both accounting and lending-related responsibilities.
  
Part-time or full-time options are available for the right candidate.
  
Key Responsibilities will Include

• Managing month-end and year-end financial reporting processes
• Preparing financial statements, management accounts and financial reporting
• Managing general ledger, reconciliations, accruals, journals and balance sheet accounts
• Managing loan administration from drawdown through to repayment
• Maintaining accurate loan records and ensuring lending documentation and financial information is up to date
• Supporting the ongoing management of the lending cycle, including variations, extensions, refinances and settlements
• Assisting with cash flow management and reporting across the property lending portfolio
• Identifying and resolving discrepancies, ensuring financial information is accurate and timely
• Supporting the broader finance and lending teams with analysis and ad hoc reporting

 
The Successful Candidate will Have

• A relevant degree in finance or accounting
• Experience in property accounting, ideally across commercial property, property funds, property non-bank, development or a related environment
• Strong knowledge of month-end and financial reporting processes
• Ability to work autonomously in a lean environment
• Excellent attention to detail
• Experience with loan drawdowns and settlements
• Strong end-to-end financial management skills, with the willingness and ability to take ownership of loan administration and the broader lending lifecycle.

You will have ownership of the financial reporting function while developing a strong understanding of how property loans operate throughout their lifecycle.
If you’re a property accountant looking for a role in a professional environment with autonomy and a combination of accounting, property, and lending, this could be the perfect role for you.
