What You'll Actually Do
Own the Daily Accounting Engine
→ Run AP, AR, and GL - and deliver accurate financial statements on time across multiple property and corporate entities.
→ Drive a tight month-end close. No one likes a late close. You won't let it happen.

→ Own the tax submission process - coordinate with the external CPA, maintain the calendar, and prep year-end schedules.
→ Support cash management, loan covenant reporting, and investor distributions.
→ Work with the Senior Finance Director to implement new workflow automation and improve efficiency.
Lead the Team & Build Smarter Systems
→ Manage and develop the virtual assistant team - starting with an AP specialist now ramping up - with clear productivity metrics and a relentless focus on improvement.
→ Use AI and agentic tools to redesign how the accounting function works. This is the most exciting part of the job. Make it count.
→ Create clear, simple, scalable systems that support F&F's growth.
Partner Across the Business
→ Collaborate closely with Asset Management, Construction, and Property Operations.
→ Support lender funding of construction projects - documentation, retainage true-ups, timely payments.
→ Monitor budget performance and surface analysis that drives better management decisions.
Requirements
Who You Are
The single most important thing: you're genuinely excited about AI. Not just curious about it - you've already been poking at it, testing it, finding ways to make your work better. That mindset is non-negotiable.
The basics:
→ 5+ years of accounting experience, including month-end close and multi-entity work.
→ Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field.
→ Advanced Microsoft 365 / Excel skills - you turn messy data into clear insights fast.
→ Strong grasp of financial reporting best practices and accounting systems. Appfolio experience is a bonus.
→ CPA is a plus, but not required. Real estate experience is a plus, but not required.
The stuff that really sets you apart:
→ Ownership mentality - you take responsibility and drive things to completion.
→ Comfortable with ambiguity and an entrepreneurial pace. You don't need a perfect playbook.
→ A continuous-improvement mindset - you always think "how could this be better?"
→ Strong communicator who can influence across departments.
→ Can manage, coach, and develop a virtual team, delegate effectively, and prioritize ruthlessly.
→ "Can do" attitude. It sounds cliché. We mean it.
