I'm working with an established, privately owned real estate investment, development and management business looking to appoint a Financial Controller to join its finance team in Central London.
Reporting directly to the CFO, this is a broad, hands‑on opportunity offering ownership of the finance function, management responsibility for two direct reports and exposure to the wider commercial and strategic performance of the business.

A strong grounding in financial reporting and management accounts in particular is essential. Beyond this, the business is open-minded on sector experience and is happy to support the successful candidate in developing the wider property and commercial aspects of the role.
Key responsibilities include:
- Financial control and reporting: Oversee quarterly management accounts, group consolidation, subsidiary statutory accounts under FRS 102, year‑end audit preparation, financial controls and lender covenant reporting.
