This is an opportunity to join a company that blends traditional accounting excellence with modern systems, data insights, and process innovation.

Why This Role Stands Out

Tech-forward environment: Work with a company that embraces automation, systems optimization, and data-driven decision-making—ideal for someone who enjoys leveraging technology to improve accounting processes.

• Own the month-end and year-end close processes, including complex reconciliations, journal entries, and system-driven workflows

• Analyze financial performance, property-level results, and portfolio trends to support strategic decision-making

• Identify opportunities for process improvements, automation, and system enhancements—particularly within ERP and reporting tools

• Partner with cross-functional teams to improve financial visibility and streamline reporting across the organization

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting (required)

• 3 years of experience as a Senior Accountant, ideally within real estate, property management, or a related industry

• Strong analytical mindset with a track record of improving processes and leveraging technology

• Advanced Excel skills

• Compensation: $90k-$105k plus bonus potential
• Schedule: Hybrid, 3 days onsite and 2 days WFH
