Underpin the finance team and be a part of the ever-thriving Student Accommodation sector.
I am representing a growing, well-funded real estate investment and operating business seeking a Financial Accountant to join its London-based finance team.
Reporting directly to the Senior Financial Controller, this role offers the opportunity to become a key member of a high-performing finance function, taking ownership of financial reporting while working alongside an established outsourced finance team.
Experience reviewing, challenging, and managing reporting produced by outsourced accounting providers would be highly advantageous, although not essential.
The business operates within the Purpose-Built Student Accommodation (PBSA) sector, one of the UK's most resilient and attractive real estate asset classes.
Against a backdrop of continued growth in both domestic and international student numbers, demand for high-quality student housing continues to significantly outpace supply across many major university cities.
