Job details:
A core finance role supporting Lodha UK's development entities, embedded in the day-to-day accounts payable cycle from supplier invoice through to payment and reconciliation. Reporting to the Associate Director in the UK, the post-holder will act as the SAP backbone for the UK finance team, processing a high volume of transactions accurately and on time.
The role requires an accountant with a real estate or property development background who is comfortable operating independently in SAP, communicates confidently with colleagues in London, and takes a proactive, detail-driven approach to closing out queries before they become problems.
Key Responsibilities
Accounts Payable & Vendor Management
- Manage the central accounts inbox effectively, including supplier invoices and payment reminders.
- Submit invoices through the online approval workflow; monitor approval status and issue timely reminders.
- Follow up proactively on outstanding matters, missing information and unresolved queries.
SAP Transaction Processing
- Process a broad range of SAP transactions, including: goods receipt (GRN) postings for purchase orders; service entries for work orders; MIRO and MIGO transactions; accounts payable transactions (supplier invoices, credit notes and payments, with or without purchase/work orders); accounts receivable transactions (billing, credit notes and receipts); fixed-asset accounting and depreciation; intercompany transactions; credit-card transactions; journals and accruals; open-item clearing; and foreign-currency transactions.
- Given the lean structure of the London finance team, cover a wide transaction range rather than a single specialism.
Reconciliations & Record-Keeping
- Perform vendor, customer and bank reconciliations.
- Maintain invoices, bills, bank statements, agreements and other records in an orderly manner to enable easy retrieval.
Stakeholder Communication
- Work in line with UK office hours and the UK holiday calendar.
- Communicate confidently in written and spoken English with colleagues in the London office and with external parties, as required.
- Take on any other relevant tasks as required.
Candidate Criteria
Essential
- At least three years' accounting experience within a real estate or property development group.
- Hands-on experience using an ERP system, preferably SAP, for high-volume transaction processing.
- Confident written and spoken English for daily contact with the London office.
Desirable Technical Skills & Experience
- Familiarity with GRN, MIRO and MIGO processing specifically within a property development context.
- Exposure to intercompany and foreign-currency transactions.
Personal Attributes
- Methodical and detail-driven, with a self-starting approach to closing out queries.
- Comfortable managing a high volume of transactions to tight monthly deadlines.
- Reliable and organised, with a strong sense of ownership over the accounts payable cycle.
