Organising audits, posting journals and responding to queries
Preparing trial balances and management reporting
Approving draft accounts and liaising with boards and property managers
Preparing budget templates and uploading onto systems
Reviewing handover information and setting up new clients
Monitoring cashflow and managing outstanding creditors
Preparing VAT returns where applicable
Preparing and controlling void service charges
You’ll work in a hybrid environment, trusted to manage your time and priorities effectively.
