Property Finance
 At Ringley a career in our Property
Finance Team requires you to see the
world in more than numbers. We do not
develop accountants and finance people
we develop Property Finance people. The
difference is that we are custodians of
circa £15M of Client money which has to
be accounted for accurately, according to
the lease. A successful career in
Property Finance means not compiling a
set accounts but a set of service charge
accounts.
We are therefore look for people who can
grasp the legal concepts that under-pin
the property industry: the lease,
service charge schedules, Landlord &
Tenant legislation, Commonhold &
Leasehold Reform Act and Company Law.
After all the Property Finance Team
supports Ringley’s Estates Operations
Team in managing the most valuable asset
most people have ‘their home’.
We have invested massively in technology
and are gradually eradicating mass
transactions so that we can concentrate
on teaching the skills of risk
management, reconciliation, validation
and budget reporting. Property Finance
at Ringley underpins all aspects of the
business.
Customers to the Property
Finance Team are both internal and
external and won’t just want to know the
balance on their account. They will also
want to know how it is
made up, what is service charge, what
happens to their reserve fund payments, etc.
We work to a quarterly cycle and
look for customer oriented people who
understand numbers.
Entry at GCSE is
dependent on good grades in maths,
otherwise we look for A Level entrants
or those with previous purchase ledger,
sales ledger or cashier experience.
Excellent spoken English is essential as
is the ability to draft responses to
emails/letters and have the confidence
to say “No” if other internal
departments try to cut corners rather
than do things right.
We sponsor suitable candidates in our
Property Finance Team to achieve
accountancy qualifications and as well
as weekly internal training sessions
external training courses will cover
service charge accounting. It takes
about 6-9 months to study for the
Institute of Residential Property
Management’s exams and on passing you
get letters after your name and a £1,000
pay rise guaranteed. So if you
understand numbers, fancy working in
property and want to build a career in a
Client facing Property Finance Team we
want to hear from you.
People who aren't passionate about helping Customers understand the numbers need not apply.
