Controller- real estate

CFS
York, NY Full Time
POSTED ON 4/14/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 5/14/2026
Real Estate Controller

Strategic Leadership Opportunity | High Visibility | Growth-Focused Organization

Location: On-site (Metropolitan Area)

Schedule: Monday–Friday

Compensation: $120,000–$170,000 Performance Bonus

Why This Role Stands Out

This is more than a traditional Controller position—it’s a high-impact leadership role where you’ll shape financial strategy, influence executive decision-making, and help drive the continued expansion of a national real estate and senior living platform.

You’ll partner directly with executive leadership, gaining unmatched visibility and influence, while leading modernization efforts across systems and processes. The organization fosters a culture built on trust, autonomy, and accountability, giving you the space to lead effectively without micromanagement.

What You’ll Gain

  • Direct exposure to executive leadership and strategic initiatives
  • A seat at the table influencing operational and financial performance
  • Clear growth trajectory as the platform continues to scale
  • A performance-based bonus that increases with impact and tenure
  • A culture that genuinely supports work-life balance, including Summer Fridays
  • Robust benefits package and generous PTO

What You’ll Do

In this role, you’ll lead and elevate the entire accounting function while driving efficiency and accuracy across a complex, multi-site portfolio.

  • Oversee all core accounting operations (GL, AP/AR, payroll, property-level accounting)
  • Own the financial close process and deliver timely, accurate GAAP reporting
  • Strengthen internal controls, policies, and audit readiness
  • Lead budgeting, forecasting, and financial analysis to guide business decisions
  • Manage cash flow, capital expenditures, and banking relationships
  • Drive systems improvements and automation initiatives to modernize finance operations

What You Bring

  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field
  • 7 years of accounting experience, including 3 years in a leadership role
  • Experience with property-level or multi-site accounting environments
  • Background in senior living, healthcare, multifamily, or real estate preferred
  • Strong command of GAAP and internal controls
  • Advanced Excel skills and experience with systems such as NetSuite, Yardi, Ramp, or Sage Intacct
  • A leadership style that is hands-on, strategic, and collaborative

Compensation & Benefits

  • Competitive base salary ($120K–$170K)
  • Performance-based bonus with consistent upward growth potential
  • Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage
  • Retirement plan with employer match
  • Summer Fridays generous PTO holidays
  • Additional ancillary benefits to support your well-being
