What You’ll Do



  • Own full-cycle property accounting for multiple real estate entities

  • Perform high-volume account reconciliations and detailed balance sheet work

  • Lead month-end close over 5 days, including journal entries and variance analysis

  • Prepare and review financial statements (P&L, balance sheet)

  • Work closely with operations and property management teams


What We’re Looking For



  • 5–6+ years of real estate or property accounting experience

  • Strong reconciliation skills and detail-oriented approach

  • Proven ability to handle short closes and complex entity structures

  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or Finance preferred

  • Strong Excel skills and hands-on accounting mindset


This is a great opportunity for someone who wants ownership, pace, and growth within a collaborative real estate team.
