• Support property tax reporting, 1099 preparation, and other recurring accounting processes.
• Partner with third-party accounting teams to answer questions, provide feedback, and ensure accounting work is completed accurately and on time.
• Maintain organized financial records and continuously look for ways to improve accounting processes and efficiency.

Who We're Looking For

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field preferred.
• 1–5 years of accounting experience, preferably in commercial real estate, property management, construction, or another multi-entity environment.
• Strong understanding of accounting principles and financial reporting.
• Experience with accounting software such as Yardi or similar ERP systems is a plus.
• Highly organized with exceptional attention to detail.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to work collaboratively across teams.
• A proactive, dependable teammate who takes ownership and follows through.
• Why This Role?
• You'll join a growing organization where you'll have meaningful responsibility, exposure to multiple areas of accounting, and the opportunity to continue developing professionally.
• If you're looking for a role where you can build a strong accounting foundation while being part of a collaborative, entrepreneurial team, this could be a great fit.
