The Director, Controllership & Accounting will own the full accounting function as the first dedicated accounting hire on the platform. Reporting directly to the CFO, this individual will translate Montera’s development pipeline into a disciplined, institutional-grade financial platform; establishing REIT-ready accounting infrastructure from day one, building the chart of accounts, governing project accounting across a multi-billion-dollar capital program, and ensuring that financial reporting aligns with underwriting models, lender covenants, and investor expectations.

This is a hands-on builder role, not an oversight role. In the first 12-18 months, this person will personally own the close, post entries, build reconciliations, stand up the ERP, write the policies, and execute REIT testing—while designing the systems and processes that will let the function scale. The right candidate is a CPA who is energized by being in the details, has deep technical depth in REIT accounting and tax, has lived in CIP and capitalization in capital-intensive development environments, and is excited to build rather thanmaintain.

As Montera scales, this role is expected to evolve. The successful candidate will have a clear path to grow intoVPController, and ultimately Chief Accounting Officer as the platform brings assets online, builds a team underneath them, and matures into a fully institutional finance function. This is a unique opportunity to step into a top-tier accounting leadership trajectory inside a rapidly growing, well-capitalized digital infrastructure platform.

At Montera, weoperatewith urgency, ownership, and accountability. The right candidate will thrive in an environment that values high standards, clear thinking, and the ability to build something enduring from day one.
