Buy Side Recruitment is retained by a London residential investor to hire a management accountant into its central finance team. The business develops, owns and operates its own homes, and runs two strategies through one finance function: a stabilised build-to-rent estate and a growing, distributed private rented portfolio. The seat is open to someone qualified or still studying.
The Seat
You report to the Finance Manager and sit alongside the other management accountants, with FP&A and accounts payable specialists in the same team and a Financial Controller and Finance Director above. The role is the whole transactional and month-end cycle across multiple UK and Jersey entities, not a slice of it. Three areas are written into the job as places to grow into: bad debt provisioning, budget-versus-actual analysis and the quarterly management packs.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

Who This Suits
- Qualified or studying towards ACCA, CIMA or ACA, with solid experience in a similar multi-entity role.
- Strong Excel.
- Property or managing agent exposure helps, and so does coming from a smaller finance team where nothing was somebody else's job.
- The team runs on RealPage; experience of it is useful, not required.
- What matters more is an eye for process and the willingness to improve it.
Terms
- Permanent, full time, Monday to Friday 9.00 to 5.30.
- Central London, hybrid with a minimum of three days in the office.
