Senior Accountant

I'm working with a client on a confidential opportunity for an experienced Senior Accountant or Manager with a strong background in Client Accounting Services (CAS) and tax.

This is a hands‑on role supporting a substantial and diverse portfolio. It would suit someone who enjoys getting into the detail of multi‑entity accounting, taking ownership of client relationships and providing practical guidance to an in‑house accounting team.

The position offers a good mix of outsourced accounting, financial reporting and partnership tax work, with the opportunity to take a leading role in improving processes and overseeing the financial operations of a sizeable portfolio.

Responsibilities will include:

• Managing monthly and quarterly closes across multiple entities.
• Reviewing general ledger activity, bank reconciliations, accruals and balance sheet accounts.
• Investigating and resolving intercompany balances, member loans and lines of credit.
• Maintaining debt and mortgage schedules, tracking capital improvements and reconciling tenant security deposits.
• Handling retail lease accounting, including CAM, real estate tax and operating expense reconciliations.
• Preparing monthly financial reports and consolidated portfolio summaries.
• Preparing partnership and LLC tax returns, including Forms 1065 and relevant New York State filings, ensuring the financial statements reconcile to the tax returns.
• Working directly with the client's leadership team and providing direction, training and support to its internal accounting staff.

Ideally, you'll bring:

• At least five years' public accounting experience, with a combination of CAS, outsourced accounting and tax.
• Excellent general ledger, month‑end close and reconciliation skills, including the ability to identify and resolve historical accounting issues.
• Experience with partnership and pass-through taxation.
• CPA qualification or currently working towards your CPA.
• The confidence to work directly with senior client contacts, manage relationships and oversee junior accounting personnel.
• Flexibility to spend time on‑site with the client in Nassau County as required.

Experience with Quick Books and property management platforms such as MDS, Yardi or similar systems would be advantageous.

This is an opportunity to take ownership of an important client relationship and work across both the accounting and tax functions, rather than being restricted to one particular area.

You'll have considerable involvement in the day‑to‑day financial operations of a substantial real estate portfolio, with the opportunity to make a tangible difference to reporting, processes and the development of the client's internal accounting team.

The position could suit an established Senior Accountant looking for the next step, or an existing Manager who enjoys a hands‑on client‑facing role.
