Previous experience in managing outsourced accounting and administration would be beneficial. In addition to the primary functions of the role, the candidate would be required to assist in managing investor reporting and monitoring investor queries.

This position requires someone who is motivated, interested in learning, and very attentive to detail.

The role will involve liaising with parties both within and outside the organisation and requires an individual who has strong communication and presentation skills. This position offers experience in many accounting, reporting, and tax areas of responsibility within a line of business offering excellent growth opportunities.

Responsibilities

• Ability to assist in technical accounting matters arising across the funds, including preparation of accounting treatment memorandums and coordination with the corporate office of accounting policy.
• Liaison with internal and external investors regarding the fund portfolio, providing information in respect of both investment activities and accounting matters.
• Providing support in new investment activity, including due diligence procedures, establishing new investment structures, and participating in negotiations with third-party asset managers regarding financial reporting and asset management responsibilities.
• Review and analysis of financial reporting provided, including GAAP financial statements, cash flows, income tax reporting, and other project-specific reporting.
• Oversight of investment structures and activities, including maintaining ongoing relationships with third-party asset managers, ensuring ongoing compliance with tax structuring in place, and ensuring local regulatory and statutory compliance.
• Assistance with the development of accounting policies, procedures, and internal control issues.
• Managing the fund quarterly reporting process, including preparation of financial statements with the assistance of service providers and preparation of all client reporting.

Experience Required

• Must have Real Estate Fund Accounting experience.
• Qualified Accountant with US GAAP technical knowledge relevant to the business. Minimum three years of experience post-qualification.
• Must have experience working under pressure with various projects and deadlines while reporting to multiple people. There will be significant interaction with joint venture partners, internal groups, third-party property managers, and asset managers.
• Candidate must be proactive with issues and responsive to management. Must have the ability to work in an entrepreneurial environment and possess initiative, organisation, problem-solving, and analytical skills. Demonstrated leadership abilities are essential but also able to work well independently. Detail-oriented and willing to take a hands-on approach in all elements of the job.
