We are seeking an experienced Senior Commercial Real Estate Accountant / Accounting Manager to join a privately held real estate ownership and development company.

This is a hands‑on accounting role for someone who enjoys being in the details, not simply managing or reviewing the work of others. The company is undergoing succession planning, creating an excellent long‑term opportunity for the right individual.

The position involves accounting for retail and mixed-use properties, multiple ownership entities, partnerships, and an affiliated development company.

• Manage full-cycle accounting, month-end close, journal entries, reconciliations, and financial reporting.
• Prepare owner and investor reporting packages, partnership allocations, and capital account reconciliations.
• Perform waterfall calculations, preferred returns, and investor distributions.
• Handle accounting for grocery‑anchored retail centers, restaurant tenants, and mixed‑use developments.
• Oversee CAM reconciliations, property expenses, and tenant recoveries.
• Support development accounting, construction‑in‑progress, and intercompany transactions.
• Work closely with ownership and existing leadership through the succession planning process.

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting or related field.
• Ideally 5+ years of progressive accounting experience, preferably in commercial real estate.
• Public accounting foundation highly desirable.
• Strong experience with partnership accounting, owner reporting, and waterfall calculations.
• Experience with retail, mixed‑use, office, multifamily, or other commercial properties.
• Proficiency with MRI and/or Yardi and advanced Excel.
• Strong GAAP knowledge, financial reporting, and full‑cycle accounting skills.
• Comfortable working independently in a hands‑on, roll‑up‑your‑sleeves environment.
• CPA a plus, but not required.
