Competitive, aligned to experience | Hybrid (2 days per week in office - 13B St George Wharf, London SW8 2LE)
Role Overview
We need a Senior Portfolio Accountant who can take full ownership of a portfolio and manage it confidently, delivering accurate, audit-ready accounts while supporting the development of others in the team.
You’ll be responsible for a varied portfolio of residential developments, acting as the key contact for financial reporting, audits, and client-facing finance matters.
The role is designed to balance technical delivery with ownership and influence, allowing you to focus on quality, consistency, and continuous improvement.
ROLE EXPECTATIONS
This is a high-responsibility role that requires strong technical knowledge, attention to detail, and sound judgement.
You will need to balance accuracy, deadlines, and stakeholder expectations at the same time and be comfortable taking ownership of audits, reporting, and financial processes rather than escalating them.
You will be expected to run your portfolio, ensuring accounts are audit-ready, issues are identified early, and standards continue to improve, not just maintained.
What Success Looks Like
You’ll be successful in this role if:
- Your accounts are accurate, compliant, and consistently audit-ready
- Audits are delivered smoothly with strong stakeholder engagement
- Property Managers and clients trust your financial expertise and judgement
- Processes are efficient, controlled, and continuously improving
- Junior team members are supported and developing under your guidance

- Reviewing and approving draft accounts with Property Managers and client boards
- Preparing and managing budgets, forecasts, and service charge demands
- Responding to financial queries from clients and leaseholders
- Monitoring cash flow, creditors, and financial performance
- Supporting new client onboarding and system set-up
- Providing guidance, oversight, and mentoring to junior accountants
You’ll work in a hybrid environment, trusted to manage your time, deadlines, and priorities effectively.
