Role Overview

This Property Accountant position sits at the center of the financial operations for a property portfolio, handling the daily flow of tenant billing, collections, reconciliations, and reporting. The role exists to keep tenant and supplier accounts trustworthy, flag revenue or payment issues early, and give property management the financial visibility it needs to run buildings smoothly. By maintaining disciplined records and supporting month-end and audit cycles, the person in this role helps protect cash flow and tenant satisfaction at the same time.

Key Responsibilities

• Work with the property management team to investigate and answer tenant questions about billing, charges, and account balances.
• Reconcile bank accounts and tenant, supplier, and utility ledgers, tracing and correcting mismatches as they arise.
• Record property expense invoices, verify supporting details, and maintain dependable payment records.
• Spot ledger inconsistencies early and resolve them before they affect reporting or tenant relationships.
• Produce tenant ageing reports, financial schedules, and management reports that give property managers a clear view of income and arrears.
• Assist with month-end close activities and provide information for internal and external property accounting audits.

Requirements & Qualifications

• Formal education at diploma or degree level in accounting, finance, commerce, or another relevant discipline.
• Professional progress such as CPA Part II—or an equivalent credential—would strengthen your application.
