In addition to the primary functions of the role, the candidate would be required to assist in managing investor reporting and monitoring investor queries.

The individual for this position should be comfortable working and contributing to a team environment and enjoy being in a busy environment where new and complex transactions occur. The role will involve liaising with parties both within and outside the organisation and requires an individual who has strong communication and presentation skills. This position offers experience in many accounting, reporting, and tax areas of responsibility within a line of business offering excellent growth opportunities.

Experience Required

* Qualified Accountant with US GAAP technical knowledge relevant to the business. Minimum three years of experience post-qualification.
* Must have experience working under pressure with various projects and deadlines while reporting to multiple people. There will be significant interaction with joint venture partners, internal groups, third-party property managers, and asset managers.
* Candidate must be proactive with issues and responsive to management. Must have the ability to work in an entrepreneurial environment and possess initiative, organisation, problem-solving, and analytical skills.
