Financial Controller
Equifind is working with a London-based real estate developer and asset manager, based in Victoria, to hire a Financial Controller.
They've built a massive portfolio throughout the UK spanning logistics, retail, office and industrial assets, and have a strong track record of delivering market-leading returns for their investors. With a new fund launch on the horizon, it's an exciting time to join, and they're looking to strengthen the finance team ahead of that next phase of growth.
This is a senior hire, effectively deputising for the CFO and acting as the day-to-day lead across the finance function. A big part of the brief is helping to take reporting and analysis up to an institutional standard as the new fund comes on board, so there's a real chance to shape processes and put your stamp on things.
You'll also take ownership of a team of 5, ranging in experience and seniority. They're keen to find someone who genuinely enjoys managing people and will invest time in developing and mentoring the team, rather than just overseeing the numbers.
