CLIENT ACCOUNTANT
Scanlans Property Management
Competitive
Hybrid - Manchester
Role Overview
You will play a key role in delivering accurate, timely client accounting for a diverse residential block management portfolio. Based in Manchester with hybrid working, you will be the financial partner to our property managers and clients, turning complex numbers into clear insight and dependable outcomes.
You will thrive in a team that values accountability, care, and collaboration. Your expertise will ensure service charge funds are safeguarded, year-end accounts land on time, and clients receive proactive, professional support that builds trust and long-term relationships.
ROLE EXPECTATIONS
You will own the end-to-end service charge accounting cycle for an allocated portfolio, from bank reconciliations and accruals to draft year-end accounts and audit liaison. Most days you will collaborate with property managers, resolve queries from clients and suppliers, and keep ledgers, statements and budgets accurate and up to date.
What Success Looks Like
- Consistently accurate ledgers, reconciled bank accounts and clean month-end close within agreed timelines.
- Year-end service charge accounts delivered on schedule, with clear working papers and minimal audit queries.
- Proactive communication that keeps property managers and clients informed, with queries resolved promptly.
- Forecasts and budgets that are realistic, well-evidenced and easily understood by non-finance stakeholders.
- Strong cash management: timely supplier payments, robust credit control support and clear client statements.
- Continuous improvement mindset that streamlines processes and strengthens financial controls.
