Full Job Description
Real Estate Controller for Award-Winning Local Company

We9re now hiring a Controller to take our financial operation to the next level.

The foundation is built. Our systems are in place, our processes are documented, and our books are clean. What we need is someone to run them sharper and faster as we push past 300 rental doors on our way to 500.

This is a high-leverage seat.

You9ll own the close across every company we operate, deepen the reporting our leaders actually make decisions with, and raise financial awareness across every department. You9ll have direct access to ownership, a real playbook to build on, and a clear runway to Director of Finance as we scale.

If you9ve spent your career closing books for other people9s companies, or you9re the strongest accountant in a department where the next seat isn9t opening any time soon - then this is your jump.

When you apply to join our team, you will be asked to complete a short Google Form to help us get to know you better as well as submit a 1-3 minute introduction video telling us more about yourself, your experience, and why you9d be excited to join the company.

We9re looking forward to hearing from you.

Responsibilities

$42

Qualifications
• 5+ years of progressive accounting experience with full ownership of the close.
• Multi-entity experience - consolidations, intercompany, allocations. You9ve done it, not just seen it.
• Strong QuickBooks Online skills across multiple company files, plus advanced Excel - modeling and forecasting, not just pivot tables.
• Real estate, construction, or property management accounting background strongly preferred - job costing, WIP, retainage, or lien waivers a big plus, and AppFolio or similar is a bonus.
• CPA welcome, not required - we care more about what you9ve built than what9s on your wall.
• Hands-on and self-directed - you9re comfortable in the books, and you don9t need hand-holding.
• Energized by scale - you want to take a solid system further, not just keep it running.
