Description

About the Role

The Assistant Controller will manage full-cycle accounting for a multifamily ( non-HOA ) property portfolio, ensuring reporting accuracy, operational efficiency, and alignment with property stakeholders. You'll be responsible for month-end close, budget inputs, reconciliations, and owner-facing reporting. The ideal candidate combines deep accounting experience with the ability to scale workflows, communicate clearly, and take ownership with minimal supervision.

This role will also lead a team of 4-7 accountants, providing guidance, training, and oversight to ensure timely and accurate reporting.

The Assistant Controller will work on-site out of our corporate headquarters in the heart of Orlando's vibrant Milk District!

SALARY: $90,000 - $105,000 annual salary + bonus eligible

Salary is commensurate with experience and portfolio complexity

SCHEDULE: Full Time, Monday thru Friday 8:30am - 5:30pm
