Staff Accountant

Bridger Land Group is a Bozeman-based real estate operator with three businesses under one roof:
Bridger Communities (multifamily — Blackwood Groves, Penrose, and Victoria Flats coming online), Bridger Builders Group (construction — for-sale homes, amenity buildings, and community projects), and BLG corporate. We design, build, and operate places we'd want to live, with a quiet excellence we're proud of and a deep care for the residents, homeowners, and community we serve.

Behind every well-run project is a finance function that holds the discipline. That's the seat we're hiring for.

The scope spans AP/AR processing across every entity, the COI/W-9 compliance discipline that keeps every dollar moving cleanly, project budget reconciliation, vendor onboarding, entity compliance filings, and close support. It's substantive work in a real multi-entity environment, with a real growth path on the other side of it.

Own the AP and AR across every entity

• Review and verify the accuracy and completeness of vendor invoices and supporting documentation.
• Verify appropriate authorization and coding for all invoices.
• Match invoices with purchase orders and receiving documents.
• Enter invoices into the accounting system for payment processing.
• Maintain the master COI/W-9 tracker across every active sub and vendor — expiration dates, additional-insured language, W-9 on file.
• Annual 1099 preparation
• Onboard new vendors in Yardi with W-9, tax classification, and payment terms — the basis for clean year-end 1099s.
• Run AP and AR aging review on a regular cadence; flag aging items, coding errors, and double-billings to the Controller before they become issues.
• Manage inter-company AR and distributions receivable across BLG entities.
• Record recurring inter-company transactions.

Job Cost Accounting

• Compile construction draw packages for each active project after initial approval, and hand to the Controller for review and lender submission.
• Reconcile project budgets between our accounting system and construction management software.

Cash and 1099

• Bank reconciliations every month, no exceptions; surface anomalies the day they appear.
• Daily cash visibility support — pull balances across entities for the weekly cash report to the principals.
• 30/60/90-day cash forecasting prep — pull the components (AR aging, AP aging, scheduled distributions, expected draws, known capex), and hand to the Controller for strategic narrative.

Execute entity compliance and recurring filings

• Maintain the entity compliance filing calendar across every entity — what's due, when, and where.
• Execute annual report and registered-agent renewals in every state where each entity is registered, on time.

Support the close and surface what's slowing the function down

• Assist with month end and year end closing procedures
• Prepare monthly general ledger account reconciliations
