Staff Accountant

A growing real estate investment and operating platform based in Cedar Rapids is hiring a Staff Accountant to join its finance team. This is an individual-contributor role with broad, hands-on exposure across the accounting function — not limited to one task — supporting the Controller and Assistant Controller on the team's day-to-day workload. The business has outgrown what its current staff can own well, and this role offers real runway to grow into more ownership over time.

• Support the monthly close process across a property portfolio and operating companies — preparing reconciliations, journal entries, and supporting schedules
• Assist with consolidating property-level and company-level financials into accurate, reliable reporting
• Partner with leasing and property management teams on tenant receivables and property-level payables, helping resolve discrepancies and keep the ledger current
• Assist with accounts payable, accounts receivable, and general ledger maintenance as needed
• Support debt payment postings and other recurring accounting processes alongside the finance team
• Take on ad hoc accounting projects and analysis as priorities shift — this role isn't limited to one recurring task
• Hold a disciplined close timeline, meeting deadlines or communicating proactively when something will slip

• Solid general accounting fundamentals and a demonstrated ability to handle reconciliations and recurring close work with minimal oversight
• Previous public accounting experience is a strong plus
• Real estate or CAM reconciliation experience is a plus, not a requirement
• Eager to take on a variety of work rather than specialize narrowly — this role is intentionally broad
• A collaborative, solutions-first attitude
• Wants to be part of an in-person, fast-paced, high-energy team — this isn't a fit for a fixed remote-work schedule
