With a portfolio of more than 50 multifamily buildings and plans to add 250+ additional units this year, the firm partners with major institutional investors to support a portfolio that includes units ranging from luxury Class A to affordable, and rent-stabilized buildings throughout New York City.

They are seeking an experienced Controller to oversee the day-to-day accounting operations for its growing portfolio. This role is ideal for a hands-on operational accounting leader with deep multifamily experience, strong Yardi expertise, and a proven ability to manage remote and offshore accounting teams in a high-growth environment.

The Controller will play a critical role in ensuring the accuracy, efficiency, and scalability of accounting processes. The ideal candidate brings 10–15 years of multifamily accounting experience and has the operational mindset to identify process improvements while maintaining strict financial reporting deadlines.

  • Coordinate audits, tax filings, and lender reporting requirements
  • Manage and mentor a team of remote/offshore property accountants and accounting support staff
  • Help scale accounting operations and improve workflows as the portfolio continues to grow
  • Drive operational efficiencies, process improvements, and strengthened internal controls
  • Assist with onboarding newly acquired assets, including opening balance sheets, establishing accruals, coordinating bank account setup and treasury functions, and transitioning assets to assigned property accountants
  • Partner with Asset Management teams on variance analysis and NOI drivers
  • Participate in bi-weekly client and ownership update calls to address financial and operational matters
  • Build and enhance financial reporting and analysis tools utilizing advanced Microsoft Excel skills
  • Serve as the system lead and subject matter expert for Yardi
  • Oversee preparation and review of NYC regulatory filings, including TC (Tax Commission / certiorari support), RPIE (Real Property Income & Expense filings), and independently review and sign off on RPIE filings

Qualifications

  • 8+ years of accounting experience within real estate accounting
  • Strong multifamily property accounting experience
  • CPA Designation Preferred
  • Experience overseeing large portfolios and multiple entities/assets simultaneously
  • Experience managing remote and/or offshore accounting teams
  • Advanced proficiency in Yardi and Microsoft Excel
  • Deep understanding of accrual accounting and property-level financial reporting
  • Experience with NYC regulatory filings including TC and RPIE
  • Strong organizational, communication, and deadline management skills
  • Ability to operate effectively in a fast-paced, high-growth environment

What Success Looks Like

  • Financial reporting deadlines are consistently met with accuracy

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
