Job Description
Equifind are partnering with a highly regarded, well-capitalised private equity real estate investment firm, who have an exciting 6-month opportunity for a newly qualified accountant ready to step up.
This isn't just a back-office numbers role. You'll own a live portfolio of investment entities from day one, acting as the finance lead across a genuinely varied book of deals, working directly with asset managers, JV partners, investors and external advisers. If you want real exposure to how a PE real estate business actually runs, not just the accounts behind it, this is it.
What you’ll be doing:
- Taking ownership of a portfolio of SPVs, preparing and reviewing monthly and quarterly management accounts, journals, accruals, prepayments and balance sheet reconciliations
- Producing consolidated quarterly investor reporting, working with both internal teams and third‑party service providers
- Supporting statutory accounts, tax compliance (VAT, Corporation Tax, CIS) and audit processes
- Cashflow forecasting and liquidity monitoring across multiple entities, including investor distributions
- Getting stuck into the financial side of live acquisitions, disposals and strategic initiatives - not just BAU reporting
- Working across modern finance systems (Sage 200, Sage Intacct, Excel) with real scope to shape process improvements
What you’ll bring:
- ACA / ACCA / CIMA qualified, circa 1 year post‑qualification
- Solid grounding in management accounts, journals, accruals, prepayments, reconciliations
- Confident, credible communicator, equally comfortable with senior stakeholders and external advisers
- Strong Excel skills (VLOOKUPs, pivot tables, comfortable with data at pace)
- Organised, deadline‑driven, and unfazed by juggling multiple entities at once
- Private equity or property experience is a bonus, not a barrier - what matters most is a strong technical base and the appetite to learn fast
- Available to start in the next 4 weeks
Why this role:
- Completion bonus on top of a competitive £60k-£65k base
- A polished office based in West-End, hybrid Monday - Thursday in office
- Direct mentorship from a senior finance team with genuine institutional PE pedigree
- A real springboard, strong platform for what comes next, whether that’s within this business or beyond
