Role Overview
Reporting to the Team Manager, the Senior Associate will act as the Functional Accounting Owner for a portfolio of various business sites. This role is a unique mix of hands-on technical accounting and strategic financial stewardship. You will start “in the weeds” for your assigned sites, owning the close process, learning the property management systems, transactions, and reconciliations, and reconciliations — while contributing to the standardization work that scales across the portfolio. You will work closely with Finance and Operations teams and have direct visibility to the Controller and other executive team members.
On the Cutting Edge with AI
Key Responsibilities
• Take full responsibility for the financial reporting of various assigned brands. You will be the primary accounting point of contact for local General Managers and the centralized Finance/Operations teams.
• Manage the full close cycle for your sites. While this includes base accounting items such as AP, reconciliations, and assisting in cash management functions, it goes beyond rote entries to include various accruals, tax evaluations, variance analyses, and evaluating Budget vs. Actual (BvA) results and trends for review meetings.
• Maintain and update complex Excel analyses, including liquidity forecasts, impact of process changes, and ad hoc analyses. Participate in systems migration projects and opportunities to learn and use AI to streamline processes.
• Document process mapping to identify inconsistencies in local accounting (e.g., Gross vs. Net revenue treatment) and contribute to the implementation of standardized workflows across your portfolio and the company.
• Act as the ultimate owner of key reconciliations, specifically Trust Liability (ensuring cash-to-liability accuracy) and local tax compliance filings.
• Support audit and due diligence requests during the company's rapid acquisition cycles, helping onboard new sites into our NetSuite environment and apply standard operating procedures to newly acquired companies.
Competencies for Success
• Holds self and others accountable to meet and follow through on commitments; acts with a clear sense of ownership; establishes clear processes for monitoring work and measuring results.
• Takes on new opportunities and tough challenges with a sense of urgency and high energy; readily takes action on challenges without unnecessary planning; displays a "can-do" attitude.
• Strong verbal and written communication skills; confidently interacts with a wide range of stakeholders including General Manager/local site leadership, financial institutions, and executive management; attentively listens and encourages diverse ideas.
Requirements
• Bachelor's degree in Accounting; CPA or tracking toward eligibility preferred.
• 3–5 years of progressive accounting experience. Experience in Real Estate, Hospitality, or a PE-backed environment is a major plus.
• High proficiency in NetSuite and Excel (pivot tables, complex logic). Experience with Ramp, FloQast, or property management systems (e.g., Streamline, Track, Escapia, Guesty, Breezeway) is an advantage. Familiarity with trust accounting workflows and ACH/NACHA processing is a plus.
• You thrive in environments where you have the independence to own your processes and the resilience to work toward a gold standard of excellence.
