I am currently working with an exciting property firm who are seeking their first treasury hire to manage an increasing workflow around cashflow forecasting, compliance and managing bank/lender relationships and administration as well as dealing with legal counterparties.

Reporting into the Financial Controller, this role will be based out of their South West London office, but with lots of flexibility to work from home - up to four days per week if required.

Responsibilities

• Reviewing property transaction statements from lawyers, reconciling figures with relevant staff, and addressing discrepancies.
• Posting accurate journal entries onto Sage, collaborating with the financial controller to meet monthly management account deadlines.
• Gathering and transmitting necessary information to lenders and banks for loan drawdowns, ensuring smooth transactions through coordination with banks and legal teams.
• Tracking cash flow weekly based on projected sales and purchases, anticipating funding needs, and promptly coordinating with shareholders and banks. Providing regular updates through a designed weekly report.
• Ensuring operational teams adhere to finance procedures, fostering strong working relationships.
• Collaborating with the FP&A accountant to understand CRM, automate reports, and develop finance modules alongside the financial controller.
• Assisting the financial controller with stock analysis and reporting on a consistent basis.
• Supporting colleagues with finance-related queries, invoice approval, and other tasks as required.
• Serving as the primary contact for audit sample testing during year-end audits for both sales and purchases.

To be a good fit for this role:

• Experience within a treasury or finance role, with demonstrable experience in forecasting, managing counterparties and producing/developing cashflow reporting capabilities
• High attention to detail; you will be managing high value transactions with complex compliance requirements so will need to be able to get things right first time, and have a good eye for spotting mistakes and discrepancies
• Competent with Excel as well as being able to pick up new systems quickly - experience using Sage accounting software would be helpful
• Ideally be coming from a property/real estate/estate agency background, though very open to other industry backgrounds too

This would be the perfect role for someone with a proven operational treasury background who is keen to move into a smaller business who can offer a lot of autonomy and a high level of flexibility.
