* Lead on integration of new systems or processes to improve efficiency and reporting.
* Ensure timely collection of service charges and effective credit control measures.
* Provide regular performance reports and financial analysis to senior management.

* High level of accuracy and attention to detail.
Desirable:

* Familiarity with property industry compliance frameworks.
What we can offer you:
* Proven track record for career growth and advancement within the company.
