Senior Accountant - Real Estate
Buckingham Search, Chicago, IL, United States
Overview
A fast-growing property management platform with a national portfolio is seeking a Senior Accountant to own corporate accounting operations for a subset of its member companies.
This is a hands-on role with real ownership — ideal for someone who thrives in a multi-entity environment, enjoys building and improving processes, and wants visibility into a scaling organization.
What You'll Do
Own the full monthly close process for assigned entities including journal entries, accruals, deferrals, and prepaid amortizations
Upload, maintain, and reconcile general ledger detail including revenue, payroll, and expenses
Oversee and review daily/weekly cash application and bank reconciliations performed by an offshore bookkeeper
Prepare monthly balance sheet reconciliations including prepaids, accruals, credit cards, and intercompany accounts
Conduct weekly review of 13-week cash flow forecasts and A/P invoice coding with member company controllers
Produce monthly financial statements including variance analyses and supporting schedules
Maintain fixed asset, accrual, prepaid, and intercompany schedules
Support KPI and dashboard development
Prepare audit-ready documentation
Manage, train, and QA one offshore bookkeeper
Identify automation and efficiency opportunities across the accounting function
Why This Role Stands Out
Real ownership across multiple entities, not a support role
Direct interaction with high-performing operators and leadership
Ground-floor opportunity with a rapidly scaling platform
Hybrid flexibility in Chicago with strong upward mobility
Collaborative culture that values process builders and problem solvers
