Service Charge & Reconciliations Accountant (12-Month FTC)

£45,000 | Central London (Hybrid)

We're supporting a well-established commercial property business in their search for an experienced Service Charge & Reconciliations Accountant to join the finance team on a fixed-term contract. This is a hands-on role, ideal for someone who enjoys full ownership of budgets, reconciliations, year-end closure and communication with internal stakeholders.

The Role

You'll be responsible for managing a portfolio of service-chargeable properties, taking ownership of:

  • Preparation of
    annual service charge budgets
    , apportionments and on-account calculations
  • Year-end service charge reconciliations
    , including invoice collation, income/expenditure analysis, journals and accruals
  • Completion of year-end closure
    and billing of balancing service charges to tenants
  • Regular monitoring of costs and variance analysis against budget
  • Reviewing leases to ensure correct apportionments and coding
  • Liaising with Asset Managers, Building Managers and external Managing Agents
  • Supporting GL maintenance and improving efficiency between finance and operational colleagues

This is an FTC role, so we need someone who can pick things up quickly, work independently and bring best practice and attention to detail from day one.

What We're Looking For

We're looking for someone who has:

  • At least 3 years' service charge accounting experience
    within a commercial property environment
  • Strong
    Excel skills
    (vlookups, pivot tables, reconciliations)
  • Experience of
    property management systems
    (TRACE, TRAMPS, Bluebox or similar)
  • A proactive mindset and the confidence to
    deal with challenging stakeholders
  • A methodical, organised approach and
    excellent attention to detail

If you've prepared year-end packs, dealt with auditors, and can manage a portfolio with minimal supervision, we'd love to speak with you.

The Opportunity

  • Full ownership across budgeting, reconciliations and year-end
  • Exposure to a varied commercial property portfolio
  • Hybrid, flexible working
  • A tight-knit finance team where your input is valued
  • 12-month FTC – ideal for someone who wants stability with impact

Hours & Benefits

Working hours are 09:00-17:30 Monday to Friday. The benefits include the following:

  • 25 days holiday
  • Employee discounted rates in certain hotels
  • Hybrid working (1 day a week remote)
