Stanton House is partnering with a leading real estate company to appoint an experienced Interim Property Finance & Operations Director on an initial 3-month contract. Reporting into the CFO, this is a technically focused role supporting the finance team across property finance operations, policies, and procedures, including service charge reconciliations and portfolio-level accounting.

This role will suit a technically strong property finance professional with experience in real estate or REIT/asset-heavy environments, who can review and improve processes, ensure best practice, and strengthen controls across the finance function.

Key Responsibilities

Review and strengthen the property finance framework, ensuring alignment with best practice and regulatory requirements.
Develop, formalise, and implement property finance policies and procedures, covering service charge accounting, lease treatment, and capex/cost allocations.

Perform and oversee service charge reconciliations, identifying and resolving discrepancies, and ensuring accurate tenant billing and recoveries.

Review property-level P&Ls, ensuring accurate reporting, consistent accounting treatments, and adherence to UK GAAP/IFRS.

Provide expert advice on technical property accounting issues, complex transactions, and portfolio-level reporting.

Support the finance team in month-end, year-end, and ad hoc reporting, ensuring timely and accurate outputs.

Identify and implement process improvements, automation opportunities, and enhanced controls to support the CFO and business growth.

Act as a subject matter expert, providing guidance to the finance team and stakeholders on property finance matters.

To be suitable:

Fully qualified accountant (ACA / ACCA or equivalent) or experienced real estate finance professional.
Strong technical property finance experience, including service charge accounting, lease accounting, and property-level reporting.
Experience in real estate, REITs, or asset-heavy environments is highly desirable.
Proven ability to review and improve finance policies, procedures, and controls.

Comfortable liaising with senior finance leaders, operational teams, and auditors.

Highly organised, detail-oriented, and able to deliver under tight deadlines.

Strong knowledge of UK GAAP and/or IFRS, with the ability to interpret and apply standards to property finance.

This is an excellent opportunity for a technically skilled interim property finance professional to join a dynamic real estate business, working closely with the CFO and finance team to strengthen controls, streamline processes, and deliver best practices across the property portfolio.
