Finance Manager

£50K

Central London (4 days in the office, 1 from home)

My client is an acquisition-led property and lettings group and are looking for a Finance Manager to join the team.

About the Role

You will own the day-to-day finance operation across a growing multi-entity group, working closely with the Founder and senior advisers. This is a hands-on role for someone who can build robust systems and reporting while remaining comfortable with imperfect information during a period of rapid change.

Responsibilities

• Produce monthly management accounts, branch/entity performance reporting and meaningful commercial commentary.
• Maintain a rolling 13-week cash flow, working-capital visibility and lender/covenant reporting.
• Help select and implement a scalable multi-entity accounting system and improve data flows from existing property/franchise systems.
• Build and formalise central client-account processes covering landlord receipts, fees, landlord and contractor payments and reconciliations.
• Recruit, manage and delegate repeatable transactional work to a junior finance/client-accounts team member.
• Support integration of acquired businesses, including travel to new locations to roll out group processes and controls.
• Work with external accountants and prepare the business cleanly for statutory accounts/audit.
• Use AI, automation and modern finance tools to simplify processes and reduce unnecessary manual work.
