The details
Marks Sattin Executive Search is working with a distinguished Family Office in central London to appoint a Senior Investment Accountant. This is a key role within a lean, high‑performing finance team, offering broad exposure across investment entities, property companies, partnerships, and trusts.
The position blends technical accounting, financial control, and performance analysis with meaningful involvement in the Family Office's ongoing finance transformation. You will support the development of enhanced reporting frameworks, contribute to system and process improvements, and help strengthen the overall financial infrastructure as the organisation continues to evolve.
Core responsibilities include management and regulatory reporting, multi-currency performance analysis, and the preparation of high quality financial information to support senior leadership. The remit also covers bank reporting, coordination of external audits, and regular engagement with external stakeholders such as property managers, administrators, and financial institutions.
