About the Business
Our client is a well-established property management and lettings business based in London, with turnover of approximately £6.5 million and around 80 staff. They are seeking an experienced Fractional Finance Director to bring structure, efficiency and strategic financial oversight to a growing finance function.
The Role
The business currently manages its bookkeeping in-house but recognises the need for stronger financial leadership and more efficient processes, including the potential to streamline reporting to lenders and explore offshore outsourcing of transactional finance work. This is an excellent opportunity for a hands-on Fractional FD to shape and modernise a finance function within a dynamic, growing organisation.

Review and improve current bookkeeping and reporting processes, including assessing options for offshore/outsourced transactional support
Strengthen and streamline management reporting, including reporting to lenders
Support the business through property acquisitions, providing financial input and due diligence
Advise on financial controls, cash flow management and cost efficiency
Work closely with the leadership team to support strategic decision-making
Potential for an ongoing advisory or Non-Executive Director role alongside the fractional FD engagement, for the right candidate
About You
Qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent) with significant FD/CFO-level experience
Strong track record in the property management, lettings, or wider real estate sector
Experience supporting property acquisitions and related financial due diligence
Comfortable working on-site with occasional remote/hybrid flexibility
Experience improving finance function efficiency, including outsourcing or offshoring of transactional processes
