Controller, Accounting, Financial Reporting

Location:

Chicago, IL | Bethesda, MD | Boca Raton, FL

My client, one of the fastest-growing private equity-backed property management companies in the multifamily space, is looking to hire a Controller
- Multifamily.

This is a hands‑on leadership role with real strategic weight. You will own the entire accounting function, report directly to senior leadership, and have visibility into every corner of a growing and complex portfolio.

This is not a processing role. The right person is a builder who wants to put their fingerprints on the financial infrastructure of a company that is acquiring aggressively and scaling fast.

• Own month‑end and year‑end close across multiple entities, including consolidated reporting up to the corporate level
• Lead a distributed accounting team and serve as the connective tissue between the books and executive decision‑making
• Drive cash flow forecasting, treasury oversight, and liquidity planning for a portfolio in active growth mode
• Build and enforce internal controls that hold up as the company scales and the entity count grows
• Manage all third‑party financial relationships including auditors, tax advisors, and banking partners
• Evaluate and improve the tech stack, including accounting platforms and reporting tools, to get ahead of operational complexity
• Deliver owner‑level reporting and performance analysis that informs acquisition and asset management strategy
• Partner cross‑functionally with operations and asset management to translate numbers into decisions

• Controller
  - Multifamily: 15+ years in accounting with at least 5 years in multifamily or real estate
• Deep GAAP knowledge and hands‑on experience with multi‑entity consolidations
• Experience with property management accounting platforms such as Sage Intacct, Yardi, Real Page, or similar

• Experience managing offshore or distributed accounting teams
• Background supporting portfolio company reporting in a private equity or consolidation environment
