Senior Financial Accountant

The Senior Accountant is a hands-on role responsible for all accounting and finance operations across the Shorewood platform. This is not a department-building role—it is an execution-focused position for someone who thrives as a doer, leveraging technology to deliver timely, accurate financial reporting and scalable processes. The Senior Accountant has oversight over the accounts payable process, financial controls, and accounting operations, including the authority to hold payments that do not comply with established procedures.

This role owns the books for Shorewood’s individual real estate entities. The Senior Accountant records journal entries in Yardi Voyager, closes each entity every month, and creates a monthly Excel workbook supporting the financials (i.e. bank reconciliation, balance sheet reconciliations, etc.). Because a number of entities carry historical balances that have not been fully reconciled, the role also includes a cleanup effort that requires close collaboration with ownership and the tax team.

The Senior Accountant will also oversee certain real estate investments and handle all matters related to them, including lender reporting and correspondence, property tax payments, the tax appeal process, and coordination with the tax team.

The ideal candidate is someone who has been trained at a real estate focused firm, understands what professional-grade processes look like, and is now ready to help scale the accounting function at a high-growth developer where they can build systems and see the direct impact of their work.

Begin working on bringing monthly financial reporting current and take full ownership of Yardi Voyager environment. Establish working relationship with the accounting team, tax team, and third parties specific to each individual real estate investment.

Begin reviewing and documenting (where applicable) accounts payable policies and procedures. Build the standard monthly reconciliation workbook template and begin historical cleanup on priority entities in coordination with ownership and the tax team. Take over lender reporting, property tax, and tax appeal calendars for assigned investments.

• Prepare an Excel close workbook for each entity every month that includes a reconciliation for every balance sheet account, tied to the Yardi trial balance, with supporting schedules and explanations for all reconciling items.
• Investigate and resolve reconciling differences promptly, posting correcting entries in Yardi so the general ledger and the workbook agree at each month-end.
• Maintain the monthly workbooks as each entity’s permanent close record, organized so ownership, the tax team, lenders, and outside CPAs can rely on them without rework.

• Review prior-period balances across entities to identify unreconciled accounts, unsupported balances, misclassifications,…
