Controller
Park Place Holdings, De Pere, WI, United States
Park Place Holdings is a fast-growing, vertically integrated commercial real estate investment firm based in Northeast Wisconsin. We own and operate a diversified portfolio of office, retail, and multifamily assets, and we are actively acquiring, repositioning, and developing new opportunities.
We do not operate like a traditional real estate company. We move fast. We think like owners. We expect excellence. Our culture is built on:
Stewardship
Integrity
Ownership
Clear communication
Urgency and focus
Curiosity and innovation
We are building a company that leverages technology, operates with discipline (EOS), and delivers a best‑in‑class tenant experience.
The Role
We’re looking for someone who can own the financial engine behind our portfolio. This role sits at the center of everything—property performance, development, cash management, and strategic decision‑making. You’ll work directly with leadership and external partners to keep our numbers sharp, our reporting tight, and our operations running smoothly.
This role is responsible for owning the accuracy, speed, and clarity of all financial reporting across the portfolio, while building scalable systems that support aggressive growth.
If you like being in the details and understanding the bigger picture, you’ll fit right in.
Key Responsibilities
Lead and streamline the month‑end close process (target: fast, accurate, consistent)
Ensure GAAP‑compliant financials and clean, audit‑ready books
Deliver clear, actionable reporting to leadership
Ensure accurate property‑level P&Ls, balance sheets, and cash flow statements
Maintain clean intercompany accounting and entity structures
Support property management and asset management teams with financial clarity
Systems, Processes, and Controls
Own and optimize Yardi as the core accounting system
Build scalable processes that reduce manual work and errors
Implement strong internal controls and approval workflows
Drive automation and AI integration where possible
Cash Flow & Financial Visibility
Partner with leadership on cash flow forecasting
Provide real‑time visibility into cash, debt, and obligations
Help identify risks and opportunities early
Lead and develop the accounting function
Establish clear roles, expectations, and accountability
Build a high‑performance accounting team as the company grows
Foster a culture of ownership and continuous improvement
Strategic Partnership
Work directly with leadership
Support acquisitions, underwriting, and financing decisions
Assist in lender reporting, refinancing, and capital strategy
Help leadership understand true portfolio performance (NOI, cash flow, returns)
Why This Role is Unique
You won’t just be “doing accounting.” You’ll have a front‑row seat to how deals work, how properties perform, and how decisions get made. There’s a lot of ownership here—and a lot of opportunity to shape how we do things as we grow.
Direct exposure to ownership and key decision‑makers
Ability to build and shape the accounting function from the inside
Work on real deals, real assets, and real decisions
High impact on a ~$100M+ portfolio that is actively growing
Opportunity to integrate AI and modern systems into accounting
Be part of a company that is redefining what it means to be a landlord
What We’re Looking For
We’re looking for someone who’s both detail‑obsessed and big‑picture aware—someone who can keep the numbers tight while understanding how they drive decisions across the business.
The ideal candidate will bring:
Strong accounting fundamentals and at least 5 years of related financial experience
Experience managing full‑cycle accounting, ideally across multiple entities or properties
Comfort working with cash flow, budgets, and financial reporting—not just producing numbers, but understanding them
Exposure to real estate, construction, or asset‑based businesses
The ability to stay organized across a lot of moving pieces—projects, properties, and priorities
A proactive mindset—you don’t just flag issues, you dig in and help solve them
Confidence working directly with leadership and external partners
Strong attention to detail without getting stuck in the weeds
A systems‑oriented thinker who likes improving processes, not just maintaining them
Bonus
CPA preferred
Have experience with tools like Yardi or similar property/accounting systems
What Winning Looks Like (12–24 Months)
Month‑end close completed within
5–7 business days , consistently
Financials are
accurate, trusted, and decision‑ready
Leadership has
clear, real‑time visibility
into portfolio performance
A clean, scalable accounting infrastructure is in place to support growth
Yardi is fully optimized and used at an expert level
Cash flow forecasting is reliable and used weekly to drive decisions
Property‑level performance is transparent (true NOI, overhead allocation, etc.)
Accounting team is high‑performing, accountable, and proactive
Minimal surprises. Issues are identified early and solved quickly
