  • Coordinate audit, tax, lender, and ownership reporting requirements.
  • Supervise accounting staff while remaining actively involved in day-to-day accounting.
  • Identify opportunities to improve accounting processes, internal controls, and reporting efficiencies.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting required; CPA preferred.
  • 7+ years of progressive accounting experience, including supervisory or management responsibilities.
  • Commercial real estate accounting experience required or strongly preferred.
  • Strong experience with multi-entity accounting, intercompany transactions, and financial reporting.

  • Strong analytical, organizational, and problem-solving skills.
  • Ability to balance hands-on accounting responsibilities with team leadership.

Why Join?

  • Opportunity to oversee accounting across a diverse portfolio of commercial real estate and operating businesses.
  • High-visibility role working directly with the CFO.
  • Broad responsibility across accounting, financial reporting, payroll, treasury, and financial planning.

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.
