Development Entity Accountant

Position summary

LFG Homes is seeking a highly organized, detail-oriented Development Entity Accountant to manage accounting, reporting, and investor support for multiple real estate development entities.

This role is responsible for maintaining separate books for each development LLC, supporting GP/LP ownership structures, coordinating with outside tax accountants, preparing quarterly investor reporting, managing QuickBooks, tracking expenses, and helping ensure each entity remains accurate, compliant, and well-documented.

This is not a basic bookkeeping role. The right candidate should be comfortable managing multiple entities, multiple bank accounts, investor records, tax support schedules, and recurring reporting deadlines with minimal hand-holding.

Key responsibilities

• Maintain accurate books for multiple development LLCs and related entities.
• Ensure each entity’s accounting records, expenses, bank accounts, and investor activity remain separate and properly documented.
• Manage QuickBooks activity, including coding transactions, reconciliations, journal entries, payables, deposits, and monthly close items.
• Reconcile bank accounts, credit cards, expenses, vendor activity, and intercompany transactions.
• Track development-related expenses, capital contributions, distributions, reimbursements, and entity-level costs.
• Prepare quarterly financial statements, investor statements, and investor update materials.
• Maintain investor records, ownership percentages, contribution history, distribution history, and reporting files.
• Coordinate with outside accountants on annual tax returns, K-1 support, tax schedules, and year-end reporting packages.
• Prepare annual reports, regulatory filings, entity compliance items, and related deadline tracking.
• Support quarterly and annual reporting for each development entity.
• Report regularly to the LFG Homes Accounting Manager and ownership regarding entity status, cash balances, reporting deadlines, and outstanding issues.
• Create and maintain clean schedules, backup documentation, and organized accounting files for each entity.
• Identify accounting discrepancies, missing documentation, or process issues and help resolve them.

Required qualifications

• 5 years of accounting, bookkeeping, property accounting, construction accounting, fund accounting, or real estate accounting experience.
• Strong QuickBooks experience.
• Experience managing multiple entities, bank accounts, reconciliations, and accounting files.
• Strong understanding of debits, credits, journal entries, reconciliations, and month-end close.
• Strong Excel skills.
• Ability to prepare clean schedules and reports for internal use, investors, and outside tax accountants.
• High attention to detail and strong organizational skills.
• Ability to work independently and manage recurring deadlines.
• Strong written communication skills.
• Comfortable working with confidential financial and investor information.

Preferred qualifications

• Experience with real estate development, construction, property accounting, fund accounting, private equity, or family office accounting.
• Experience with LLCs, partnerships, GP/LP structures, capital contributions, distributions, and investor reporting.
• Experience preparing tax support packages for outside CPAs.
• Experience preparing quarterly investor statements or owner reports.
• Bachelor’s degree in accounting, finance, or business preferred but not required if the candidate has strong relevant experience.

Ideal candidate profile

The ideal candidate has already managed accounting for multiple LLCs or investment entities and understands the importance of keeping each entity’s books, cash, expenses, and investor records separate. This person should be able to come in, organize the accounting process, manage recurring reporting cycles, coordinate with outside accountants, and keep ownership informed without needing constant direction.
