Accounts Assistant

The Business

This is an opportunity to join a well-established, independent property and lettings business with a strong local presence and a reputation for professionalism, compliance, and long-term relationships on a Part time Basis.

The business manages a diverse residential property portfolio and prides itself on delivering a personable yet well-structured service to landlords and tenants alike. With a stable client base and experienced leadership team, the environment is professional but approachable - ideal for someone who enjoys being part of a close-knit team and having real ownership of their work.

The Role

The Part-Time Accounts & Systems Assistant role is designed for someone who wants to properly learn the portfolio from the ground up and become a trusted part of the day-to-day finance operation.

You'll be involved across the full rental cycle - from rent postings through to landlord payments and arrears management - working closely with the Head of Finance and supporting the wider office as needed.

This is a hands-on role with scope to grow as your understanding of the portfolio, systems, and lettings environment develops.

Key Responsibilities

• Posting and reconciling rent payments across the managed portfolio
• Processing landlord payments accurately and in line with agreed schedules
• Monitoring and actively chasing rent arrears, including liaising directly with landlords and internal teams
• Building a strong understanding of the portfolio and associated financial workflows
• Supporting the day-to-day finance and accounts activities within the business
• Assisting with finance-related aspects of lettings compliance and administration
• Maintaining accurate and well-organised records across the accounts and property systems
• Working closely with, and reporting directly to, the Head of Finance

About You

• Previous experience in accounts, finance, or a finance-admin role
• Exposure to, or understanding of, the property or lettings sector would be highly beneficial
• Some awareness of lettings-related compliance is an advantage
• Confident and comfortable picking up the phone to speak with landlords or stakeholders
• A self-starter who can work independently and use initiative
• Keen to learn, develop, and grow within a role rather than just tick boxes
• Systems-savvy and happy working across multiple processes

Why This Role?

• Flexible part-time hours (20- 25 hours a week)
• A chance to join a stable, well-run independent business
• Genuine exposure to the full end-to-end finance process in lettings
• Scope to develop responsibilities over time as your knowledge grows
• Direct access to, and mentorship from, the Head of Finance
