Finance Analyst

London | 5 days in office | Up to £50,000 (DOE)

A growing real estate business is looking for a Finance Analyst to join its strategic finance team. The role reports to the Associate Director and covers investment analysis, development appraisals, portfolio valuations and asset management reporting.

The business is building out its investment and valuations capability as it grows, so this role will help shape how those functions are set up. It suits someone from a real estate, investment or development background who is comfortable working with financial models and wants a hands-on analytical role. An accounting background is not required.

Responsibilities

• Update and maintain development appraisal models across multiple projects, working with other departments to keep project information accurate.
• Track live development costs against monthly budgets and report on ROI throughout the project lifecycle.
• Support the move from self‑funded developments to third‑party development finance.
• Update investment and stabilised appraisal models, researching market and operational data to support assumptions.
• Produce quarterly portfolio valuations and analyse market rents, yields and asset performance across different asset classes.
• Use the asset management model, KPIs and dashboards to report on portfolio performance.
• Prepare asset memorandums for lenders, new acquisitions and quarterly reporting.
• Maintain the utilities benchmarking and forecasting model with the Senior Management Accountant.
• Liaise with agents, advisers and internal teams, and provide ad hoc analysis across the business.

Requirements

• Development appraisal experience.
• Experience in real estate, asset management, investment, or construction/development.
• Strong Excel skills and a solid understanding of financial models, including how to review, update and interpret them.
• Analytical, detail-focused and a clear communicator, comfortable dealing with senior stakeholders and external partners.
• Able to work in the office 5 days a week.

Nice to have

• Valuations experience.
• Knowledge of multiple real estate asset classes.
• Power BI or similar reporting tools.
• Strong academic background.

Why apply

This is a chance to help set up the investment and valuations function in a growing business rather than join an established one. You'll get exposure to acquisitions, development finance, valuations and asset management, work closely with senior decision-makers, and your role will grow as investment activity increases over the coming years.
