Job description

Social network you want to login/join with:

I am looking for a service charge accountant who is diligent, self-motivated, and proactive.

Showcasing at least 2 years of experience within property, you will manage and be responsible for all aspects of supporting service charge accounting within your own portfolio.

You will be joining a commercial property consultancy with a varying portfolio including but not limited to office, industrial, and retail spaces.

Encompassing the organisation's ethos of providing a reliable and trusted service to their clients, you will be expected to present your portfolio in client meetings and to partners when required as a major part of your role.

Some of your key responsibilities:

• Preparation and presentation of annual service charge accounts for designated portfolio.
• Deliver efficient communication and responses to client queries, providing support and advice when necessary.
• Adhere to the tight deadlines of the service charge accounts.
• Ensure compliance with relevant industry legislation and best practices.
• Provide support to junior members with a willingness to run training programs.
• Display a strong understanding of VAT reporting & HMRC processes.
• Be the main point of contact for all third-party auditors.
• Service charge reviews & cash reconciliations.
• Create statements of funds.
• Complete journals, accruals, and prepayments.

This is a collaborative organisation that you will be joining. Gone are the moments of waiting for other teams to reply to your email, as you will be sitting alongside the Client Accountants, Property Managers, Surveyors, or Purchase Ledger teams.

So, what are the benefits for you:

If you are looking for a company that supports personal development, then this is it. Financial support is provided, and study leave is granted. They are understanding and encouraging of growing their team's abilities.

Additionally, with an internal mentor scheme, you will be paired with a senior in the business who will support you during your time at the company.

You will be offered a competitive salary based on your experience. A flexible work pattern is available post-probation.

If you are ready for an opportunity where you are supported through your professional development and guided by team leaders while growing your own skills, then send your CV, give me a call, or message me.
