About the Firm

We are an established real estate investment manager with a diversified platform across core, core-plus, value-add, and opportunistic strategies.

Our team operates in a highly collaborative, in-office environment in the South Bay.

Position Overview

We are seeking an Accounting Manager to lead accounting and financial reporting across our real estate fund structures and related entities. This role sits at the intersection of fund accounting, property operations, and investor reporting and is ideal for a technically strong accountant with hands‑on experience in private equity‑style real estate funds. This is a highly visible role working closely with asset management, acquisitions, investor relations, external fund administrators, auditors, and tax advisors.

  • Support investor reporting packages and capital account statements
  • Lead year‑end audits and serve as primary contact for external auditors
  • Coordinate with tax advisors on partnership allocations and K‑1 reporting
  • Review property‑level financials from operators and third‑party managers
  • Consolidate operating results across portfolios and funds
  • Support acquisition and disposition accounting, including closing entries
Operations & Controls
  • Maintain and strengthen internal controls across fund accounting processes
  • Manage cash forecasting at fund and management company levels
  • Improve reporting systems, automation, and accounting workflows
  • Liaise with third‑party fund administrators to ensure accuracy and timeliness
Leadership
  • Mentor junior accounting staff or analysts
  • Drive process improvements as AUM and fund complexity grow
Qualifications Required
  • 5–8+ years of accounting experience
  • Direct experience with real estate private equity funds, real estate investment managers, or fund administrators supporting real estate funds
  • Strong knowledge of partnership accounting, capital calls and distributions, waterfall structures, and multi‑entity consolidations
  • Experience working with fund administrators
  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or Finance
Preferred
  • CPA (or progress toward certification)
  • Experience with Yardi, Investran, MRI, Juniper Square, or similar systems
  • Public accounting background with real estate clients (Big 4 or mid‑tier a plus)
Compensation & Growth
  • Base salary: $125,000–$155,000 depending on experience
  • Annual performance bonus tied to individual and firm performance
  • Long‑term incentive opportunity
    , which may include participation in fund‑level carry, deal‑specific incentive pools, or firm‑level performance units
