Team Oversight

• Provide direction on priorities and review work for accuracy and completeness
• Ensure timelines and documentation standards are consistently met
• Support skill development related to systems, controls, and technical accounting
• Create clarity around roles and accountability within the close process

Operational Partnership

• Work closely with property management to explain financial results and resolve discrepancies
• Provide structured financial insight into operating and capital activity
• Support portfolio transitions and acquisition integration from an accounting perspective

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in accounting, finance, or a related field
• CPA designation preferred
• Five or more years of progressive accounting experience, with strong preference for direct property accounting or real estate portfolio experience
• Demonstrated experience managing full cycle accounting for multiple properties or entities
• Strong technical accounting knowledge and understanding of internal controls
• Advanced proficiency with Yardi; experience optimizing modules and improving reporting workflows strongly preferred
• Proven ability to redesign and strengthen accounting processes
