With a controllership mindset, the Property Accountant will oversee the financial reporting requirements for a portfolio of real estate assets comprising both residential and commercial properties.

The successful candidate will bring strong financial acumen and a solid accounting background, ideally with a BBA degree specializing in Accounting.
