Senior Fund Controller - Real Estate

We are recruiting a Senior Fund Controller for a boutique pan-European real estate investment manager with a very impressive senior management team and an established European investment platform.

The business is continuing to grow and deploy capital across Europe, creating an opportunity for an experienced finance professional to join a high-calibre, entrepreneurial team in a broad and highly visible role.

Reporting directly to the CFO, the Senior Fund Controller will take significant ownership of the financial management and reporting across a portfolio of European investments, while working closely with colleagues across Finance, Investment, Asset Management and Development.

This is not a narrowly defined reporting role. The successful candidate will have considerable exposure across the investment lifecycle and will play an important part in developing the finance function as the business continues to scale.

Responsibilities will include:

• Taking ownership of the financial oversight of investment and property structures across multiple European jurisdictions.
• Managing and challenging third-party administrators and outsourced finance providers.
• Reviewing management accounts, statutory financial statements and underlying financial information.
• Leading quarterly investor reporting and coordinating with internal and external stakeholders to ensure high-quality, timely delivery.
• Working closely with investor and responding to finance-related queries across the underlying investments.
• Managing year-end audit processes across relevant investment entities.
• Supporting annual budgeting and ongoing performance analysis across the portfolio.
• Working closely with Asset Management and property managers on asset-level financial reporting and business plans.
• Monitoring portfolio liquidity, distributions and capital requirements.
• Supporting debt covenant forecasting, reporting and lender requirements.
• Contributing to the ongoing development of financial controls, processes and reporting.
• Identifying opportunities to improve the efficiency and scalability of the finance function through technology, automation and AI.

To successfully apply for this Senior Fund Controller role you will be:

• Qualified Accountant (ACA, CIMA, ACCA or equivalent) with strong financial accounting and reporting experience, ideally gained within real estate, investment management, fund administration or another relevant investment environment.
• Strong experience reviewing management accounts and statutory financial statements.
• Experience working with investment structures, SPVs and/or multiple legal entities.
• Exposure to outsourced administrators, property managers or other external service providers.
• The confidence to manage senior internal and external stakeholders.

This is an excellent opportunity to join a growing and well-capitalised pen-European real estate investment business, working directly with an impressive senior leadership team and gaining broad exposure across finance, investments and the wider organisation.

The role should particularly appeal to someone who enjoys ownership, variety and commercial exposure, and wants to play a meaningful part in the continued development of a growing investment platform.
