Property Accountant

At Taylor+ we believe that adding value for our customers in Commercial Office, Retail or Industrial assets is fundamental to our approach. Our Taylor+ approach will seek innovative ways to support the success of our customers and will find opportunities for customer and customer employee engagement. We realize that to be truly different as a Company, the Taylor+ approach must be innovatively built for our customers and teammates to establish the value of the Taylor+ environments.

The role requires a highly motivated, seasoned individual that will have property accounting & finance responsibility for a group of retail properties that are managed by Taylor Co on behalf of third-party owners. This is a senior-level role requiring hands-on experience accounting for retail malls and retail portfolios — experience that differs significantly from accounting for office portfolios. The opportunity exists for this individual to build a long-term career with a dynamic, growing, reputable real estate group.

You are a leader in relationship building, have a 360-degree view of community building and provide meaningful leadership and support to your colleagues.

Taylor+ is an organization that puts customers and clients first. We believe in success by anticipating needs, being honest and considerate. All Taylor Co. team members go above and beyond in this pursuit.
