Staff Accountant

At Cap Center, we help individuals and families achieve one of life’s most meaningful milestones—home ownership—while building careers that are just as rewarding. By bringing buying, selling, and home financing together in one place, we create a smarter, more human experience for our clients and a collaborative, high-impact environment for our team. Our mission is rooted in protecting people during life’s biggest decisions and making those moments more affordable, transparent, and empowering.

Since 1997, Cap Center has been known for quality, financial stability, and integrity across Central Virginia—offering professionals the opportunity to grow, do meaningful work, and be part of an organization with a strong reputation and an even stronger sense of purpose.

At Cap Center, accounting is more than keeping the books balanced — it’s about trust, stewardship, and doing the right thing for our clients and each other. We’re looking for a Staff Accountant who brings both precision and pride to their work and wants to grow as part of a collaborative, high-performing team. This role offers meaningful ownership across multiple entities, exposure to complex financial activity, and the opportunity to learn from experienced professionals who care deeply about quality and integrity.

• Active participation in internal and external audits (including Financial Statement and RESA audits), along with hands‑on involvement in strengthening internal controls.
• Continuous process improvement — you’ll be expected to ask questions, spot inefficiencies, and help raise the bar for how the Accounting Department operates.

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or Finance from an accredited college or university
• CPA preferred or in progress
