Controller, Accounting, Financial Reporting

About the Role

Saturday Properties is a growing real estate services platform operating five lines of business: development, property management, maintenance services, leasing services, and low voltage. We need a Controller who wants to do more than keep score — someone who wants to help build the systems, processes, and team that let this platform keep scaling.
