Controller

North Austin | Fully Onsite

$115,000 – $125,000 Base + 10–15% Bonus

We're partnering with a well-established, highly regarded investment firm in the commercial real estate space that's looking to add a hands-on Controller to their team.

This is a high-visibility role within a lean, tightly run organization where you'll work closely with leadership and have meaningful exposure across accounting, investor reporting, and day-to-day business operations.

What really sets this opportunity apart is the environment — a collaborative, low-ego team that values quality work without a burnout mentality. Expect a steady, manageable workload where people perform at a high level but aren't consistently working nights or weekends to keep up.

• Strong work-life balance — consistent, sustainable pace (not a 60-hour/week role)
• Direct exposure to leadership in a highly visible position
• Broad, hands-on role with real ownership and variety
• Stable, established firm with long-tenured employees
• Tight-knit team where your work is recognized and valued
• Opportunity to be deeply involved in the business beyond just accounting

This is a hands-on, roll-up-your-sleeves position within a small team where you'll have ownership across key accounting and reporting functions while also supporting broader business initiatives.

Key responsibilities include:

• Managing financial reporting across multiple corporate entities
• Reviewing and consolidating information from third-party accounting partners
• Supporting investor reporting and partnership activities
• Assisting with distributions and ownership-level reporting
• Coordinating with external CPA firms on tax preparation
• Supporting cash management and day-to-day financial operations
• Contributing to acquisition and investment-related accounting work
• Partnering with leadership on ad hoc financial and operational initiatives

• 4–10 years of progressive accounting experience
• Background in public accounting (audit strongly preferred)
• Bachelor's degree in Accounting (Finance considered from strong programs)
• Experience in small to mid-sized or entrepreneurial environments
• Prior experience reviewing work and/or leading others
• Strong understanding of financial statements and reporting
• Track record of stable career progression (minimal job changes)
• Someone who is adaptable, organized, and comfortable wearing multiple hats

• CPA or CPA-track
• Real estate, investment, or financial services exposure
• Experience working in founder-led or entrepreneurial environments

• Quick Books (this is a nimbler environment vs. large ERP-heavy)
• , Juniper Square and related financial tools

This is a small, high-performing office (approx. 25–30 people) with an entrepreneurial, team-first mindset.

You'll succeed here if you:

• Are easy to work with and low ego
• Take ownership without needing heavy structure
• Are comfortable in a fast-moving, evolving environment
• Enjoy being part of a collaborative, close-knit team

Leadership is actively involved, and the team values accountability, flexibility, and professionalism — without unnecessary bureaucracy.

• Not a pure property accounting role
• Not a large corporate or highly bureaucratic environment
• Not managing a big team
• Not overly structured or process-heavy
• Not hybrid — this is fully onsite

If you're currently an Accounting Manager or strong Senior Accountant with a public accounting foundation and looking for a role where you can have real impact, visibility, and balance — this is a strong opportunity to step into a well-rounded Controller position in a great environment.
