Service Charge Accountant

I am working with a well-established property management company based in Victoria, South-West London, to recruit an experienced Service Charge Accountant for an interim 3-month contract. This is an excellent opportunity to join a respected organisation with a strong portfolio of residential and commercial properties.

The successful candidate will be responsible for preparing, reconciling, and reporting on service charge accounts, ensuring accuracy, compliance, and timely delivery. You will be working closely with property managers, clients, and auditors to support all aspects of service charge accounting.

Key responsibilities include preparation and reconciliation of service charge accounts, liaising with stakeholders to resolve queries, producing year-end accounts in line with industry regulations (RICS/ARMA), supporting budgeting and forecasting, ensuring accurate cost allocations, maintaining financial records, and contributing to the audit process.

The ideal candidate will have proven experience in service charge accounting within property management, a strong understanding of service charge principles, excellent attention to detail, and strong communication and organisational skills. The ability to work independently and meet tight deadlines is essential. Experience using Propman software is highly desirable, and strong Excel skills are also required.

This is a hybrid role, with 2-3 days per week working from home. The client offers a friendly, professional working environment and is looking for someone to start as soon as possible.

If you are an experienced Service Charge Accountant available at short notice and looking for your next interim opportunity, please get in touch. Applications with experience using Propman will be viewed favourably.
