Job Description & How to Apply Below

Looking for an accounting role with more ownership and direct exposure to leadership?

Our client, an established real estate investment and development firm, is hiring an Assistant Controller to serve as a central resource for its corporate finances and property-related financial operations. This is a broad, hands-on position within a small team, offering visibility into investments, financing, transactions, and business decisions.

The Opportunity

You’ll keep the company’s accounting and financial operations moving—from managing corporate books and cash flow to delivering reporting for investors and lenders. You’ll also work closely with asset management, outside accountants, property managers, and banking partners.

Your scope will include:

  • Corporate close, budgeting, intercompany accounting, and financial reporting across multiple entities.
  • Investor reporting, property financial review, funding requests, and distributions.
  • Cash management, banking, debt reporting, and lender requirements.
  • Payroll processing and funding, with related benefits coordination.
  • Oversight of entity compliance, insurance, and property tax administration.
  • Accounting support for property purchases, sales, and refinancings.
  • Improvements to procedures, reporting, and technology-enabled workflows.
Who Would Do Well Here

An experienced accountant who enjoys variety, takes initiative, and is comfortable owning both the details and the deadlines.

The ideal background includes:

  • 8+ years of accounting experience
    , with responsibility for the full close and day-to-day financial operations.
  • Commercial real estate and multi-entity experience
    , including CAM reconciliations, straight-line rent, and construction funding.
  • Experience working with external investors, owners, or lenders.
  • Strong Excel skills and experience with Yardi or a similar real estate accounting platform
    .

A CPA is not required. Experience in a smaller organization with a broad scope of responsibility would translate well.

Why Consider It?
  • Work directly with senior leadership and have a voice in how the business operates.
  • Gain exposure across corporate accounting, real estate operations, and transactions.
  • Join a close-knit team where your work has clear visibility.
  • Hybrid schedule with 2–3 office days per week
    , with more onsite time during onboarding.
