What are the responsibilities and job description for the Controller position at ALNA Management?
About the Role
ALNA Management, a Dallas–Fort Worth real estate investment and property management firm, is seeking a hands-on Controller to own the accounting for our portfolio of entities — single-family rentals, multifamily communities, our property management company, and related holding entities. This is the senior accounting seat in the company: you will own the books end to end, with your work reviewed by our senior reviewer, and you will have a junior accountant working under you.
This is a build-and-grow role. You will start hands-on in the books, and over time you will help us build out and oversee a back-office support team, shifting your own focus from producing entries to owning accuracy, process, and the financial operation. We are looking for someone who is both a strong accountant and an operator — someone who can run the numbers today and build the function for tomorrow.
What You'll Do
● Own full-cycle accounting across all company entities — property-owning LLCs (single-family and multifamily) and the property management company
● Manage the general ledger, AP/AR, bank and account reconciliations, intercompany entries, and month-end close across entities
● Produce accurate monthly financial statements per entity
● Work within our review process — all work is reviewed by our senior reviewer
● Supervise and develop a junior accountant
● Help build and eventually oversee a back-office support team (including offshore) — moving toward owning exception handling, accuracy, and process rather than data entry
● Partner with ownership and operations on financial reporting, controls, and process improvement
What We're Looking For
● REQUIRED: strong full-cycle accounting experience owning the books for multiple entities — you have personally run the GL, close, and financial statements across several companies, not a single set of books
● REQUIRED: advanced QuickBooks
● Real estate / property management accounting experience strongly preferred (Buildium, ResMan, AppFolio, or Yardi a plus — trainable)
● Demonstrated ability to build process and improve systems, and to review and develop other accounting staff — not just produce entries
● Operational mindset: comfortable owning accuracy and process, and growing into managing a team
● Highly reliable and consistent — this is the seat the whole accounting function depends on
● Able to work in-office in Plano, TX every scheduled day (this role is not remote)
Compensation & Details
● $75,000–$100,000 per year, depending on experience
● Full-time, in-office in Plano, TX
● W-2 employee
● Benefits: paid time off; health insurance (company pays 50%)
