    • Produce VAT returns for relevant companies.
    • Process payroll for small internal and associated company teams.
    • Manage accounts payable and receivable, including receipting and chasing rents and service charge payments (mainly commercial tenants).
    • Produce month-end management reports within five working days of month-end.
    • Prepare ad-hoc financial summaries and reports for Directors and Heads of Department.
    • Respond to account queries and provide supporting documentation as needed.
  • Reporting & Communication:
    • Report directly to Directors and Heads of Department on financial performance and operational issues.
    • Participate in daily video meetings during onboarding to establish SOPs, culture, and expectations.
    • Maintain regular communication via WhatsApp, quick calls, and structured video check-ins.
  • Additional Tasks:
    • Undertake ad-hoc administrative and support tasks as directed by the Directors.
    • Identify and implement improvements in processes, reporting, and efficiency.

  • Proven ability to manage multi-entity bookkeeping and inter-company transactions.
  • Excellent command of written and spoken English, with a confident communication style suitable for UK-based directors and accountants.
  • Track record of accuracy, initiative, and reliability in remote roles.
  • Strong understanding of rent and service charge accounting.
  • Operationally precise but always looking for ways to improve systems.
  • Calm, confident, and adaptable, able to work independently with minimal supervision.

We'll support you with training and development opportunities to help you sharpen your expertise. But career growth at [Employer hidden — sign up to reveal] isn't automatic - it comes from stepping up, solving problems, and showing clients and colleagues what you're capable of.
  • Work with Purpose - and with Accountability: We believe in Excellence, Ownership, Integrity, and building Strong Partnerships. Living those values means being accountable, taking responsibility for your work and relationships, and being someone clients and teammates can rely on.
