Additional Notes:
Our client is seeking a Senior Accountant to support the Controller within the Property Management division of their business. Operating in a dynamic and entrepreneurial real estate environment, this role will be responsible for managing accounting activities across a portfolio of commercial and residential assets. The Senior Accountant will play a key role in maintaining accurate financial records, supporting leadership with financial reporting, and ensuring effective financial oversight of the portfolio. This position will oversee the accounting for approximately 20 commercial tenants and fewer than 100 residential tenants, including cash management, financial reporting, and reconciliation activities. Working closely with the Controller and Property Managers, the Senior Accountant will assist with budget preparation, variance analysis, and financial statement preparation for multiple entities. The role also involves managing month-end and year-end close processes, ensuring accurate reporting, and maintaining strong relationships with external stakeholders such as bankers, auditors, and vendors. This opportunity offers the chance to work in a close-knit, family-oriented environment where employees are valued for their ability to contribute in an entrepreneurial setting while enjoying long-term stability.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Manage cash management and cash flow reporting for stakeholders
  • Maintain financial records for a commercial and residential property portfolio
  • Prepare financial statements for multiple entities and assets
  • Lead and support month-end and year-end close processes
  • Partner with Property Managers on budgeting and provide variance analysis
  • Perform high-volume and complex reconciliations
  • Manage accounting for multiple entities and intercompany transactions
  • Liaise with bankers, auditors, and vendors to ensure accurate reporting and compliance
  • Support the Controller with workflow management and financial processes
  • Provide guidance and mentorship to junior accounting staff

Qualifications:

  • Strong understanding of intercompany transactions and reporting

What Will Make You Stand Out:
