Electric Land
Watch Finance Manager Sameera Bedi explain how Aqilla supports the finance operations at the real estate investment company.
Electric Land is a specialist real estate investor focused on the acquisition, development, and long-term leasing of freehold Powered Land across Europe. The business has a 9GW development pipeline spanning the UK, Ireland, and Germany, and is actively pursuing opportunities across additional European markets.
Electric Land’s operations span the full investment lifecycle – from early-stage site identification and detailed due diligence through to project development, planning, and risk management – creating a complex operating and reporting environment.
As the portfolio has grown, so too have the demands on the finance function. Supporting long-term ground leases, infrastructure development, and cross-border activity requires a flexible cloud accounting software capable of handling regulatory and external reporting requirements.
Electric Land uses Aqilla cloud accounting software to manage its financial operations.
Watch Finance Manager Samira Bedi explain how Aqilla supports the finance operations at the real estate company.
Managing reporting complexity in a growing real estate investment group
Growth in a real estate investment business brings increased scrutiny from stakeholders, regulators, and external parties. Finance teams must meet internal and external reporting requirements while managing more entities, transactions, and data.
As Samira Bedi explains:
“The challenge now is that there are a lot of external reporting requirements because the business is getting a lot more complex, and with that in mind there is also a lot of regulatory reporting.”
In this context, finance systems must scale with the organisation and remain flexible as reporting demands evolve.
Handling intercompany activity and large data sets
For investment groups, intercompany accounting and high-volume data are a constant challenge – particularly where portfolios span multiple entities and long-term lease arrangements.
Aqilla provides a structured, cloud-based accounting platform designed to support multi-entity real estate finance, enabling teams to manage complexity without relying on fragmented spreadsheets.
An intuitive cloud accounting platform for finance teams
Although Samira is relatively new to Electric Land, she highlights how easy it is to use Aqilla compared to other finance systems.
“I’m relatively new in the company, and compared to the previous systems that I’ve used, I think it is quite user-friendly, Aqilla.”
