About The Position

We need a Portfolio Accountant who can take ownership of a designated portfolio and manage it confidently while continuing to build experience in residential property accounting. You’ll be responsible for maintaining the accuracy and integrity of accounting records across a designated portfolio of properties, ensuring financial reporting, year-end delivery and strong financial control. The portfolio is designed to remain manageable, allowing focus on service quality, financial accuracy and stakeholder relationships.

You will need to balance reporting quality, compliance and deadlines at the same time and be comfortable making decisions rather than escalating them.
