• Support development and operations teams with real‑time financial insights.
• Oversee investor‑related financial reporting in coordination with internal teams and external partners.
• Assist with capital stack tracking, funding schedules, and draw management as needed.
• Improve financial processes, reporting cadence, and internal controls as the portfolio scales.

• 7–12+ years of experience in accounting, finance, or CFO‑level roles.
• Strong experience with real estate development, construction accounting, or project‑based finance.
• Hands‑on experience managing budgets, cash flows, and cost controls for active projects.
• Experience coordinating with external accounting firms and fund administrators.
• Advanced Excel / financial modeling skills.
• Highly organized, detail-oriented, and comfortable operating in a lean environment.
• Strong communicator who can work cross‑functionally with leadership, development, and operations teams.

• Experience with construction cost management and draw processes.
• Experience supporting investor reporting and private capital structures.
• Background in hospitality or mixed‑use projects.
• Familiarity with project management and cost‑tracking tools (e.g., Northspyre or similar).
