Your New Employer

Our client is a privately held, owner-led real estate developer with an established presence in the GTA and a growing in-house residential property management platform. The organization operates across development, construction, and operations, with a strong focus on disciplined growth and long-term asset ownership.

What sets this organization apart is not scale for scale’s sake, but discipline. Leadership is stable, highly experienced, and deeply hands-on. The company is known internally for promoting from within, investing in people who want to grow with the platform, and maintaining exceptionally high standards around accounting accuracy, accountability, and professionalism. The property management arm of the business was intentionally built in-house to support a growing portfolio of purpose-built rental assets.

It is scaling quickly, but thoughtfully, with a clear long-term vision to operate at an institutional standard while retaining the agility of a lean private platform.

This is not a typical property accounting role, nor is it a narrow, transactional position. As Property Accountant, you will take ownership of the day-to-day residential property accounting for a growing rental portfolio while also supporting the corporate accounting of the property management entity itself. You will work closely with an experienced Accounting Manager and a Vice President of Accounting who is deeply involved in the details and genuinely invested in building a strong team.

A significant part of this role involves participating in the organization’s transition from Yardi Breeze to Yardi Voyager. This is a full-platform implementation across property management, development, and construction. The successful candidate will not simply “use” Yardi, but understand how transactions flow through the general ledger, how accruals and deferrals work, and how to identify and fix issues when something doesn’t reconcile.

The scope of the role will continue to evolve as the portfolio grows. Today, the focus is on residential property accounting. Over time, this position becomes increasingly central to reporting, process improvement, and supporting more complex owner and investor requirements.

This is a role for someone who wants responsibility, visibility, and the chance to become a trusted go-to person within a growing real estate platform.

Success in this role is defined by ownership. You are comfortable standing on your own, asking the right questions, and taking accountability for your work. You understand the “why” behind the numbers, not just the mechanics. You are confident in explaining variances, reconciling issues, and supporting a lean team that relies on each other. You will work closely with a strong manager who is technically sharp, supportive, and respected internally, as well as with senior leadership who value people who take pride in doing things properly.

If you perform well, your responsibilities will expand naturally — not through promises, but through trust.

This is the kind of environment where good people stay. The leadership team values continuity, integrity, and internal growth. The accounting group is small, senior, and collaborative, with high expectations and real support. You will have direct exposure to decision-makers, visibility into how the business operates end-to-end, and the opportunity to grow as the platform scales. For someone coming from a residential property accounting background who wants more than a static role, this is a chance to build something and grow with it.

The expected base salary is $75,000 to $85,000. The role is eligible for a discretionary bonus of approximately 10%. The company offers standard health and dental benefits, is introducing a Health Spending Account, and provides paid vacation and personal days. Support for CPA progression may be available for candidates pursuing the designation.

The role is based in the office in North York and requires an on-site presence. Artificial intelligence-based tools are not used in the screening or selection process.

If you are a property accounting professional who enjoys being trusted with responsibility and working closely with experienced leadership, this opportunity is worth exploring. We are seeking someone who takes pride in their work and wants to grow alongside a residential real estate platform as it scales.

If this role aligns with your experience and interests, we encourage you to apply or connect with us for a confidential discussion.
