Controller
Are you a Controller who thrives in a growth environment and wants the opportunity to build something from the ground up?
A rapidly expanding commercial real estate investment and management firm is seeking a Controller to lead and scale its accounting function. With a portfolio of 80+ properties, 100+ legal entities, and more than $500M in assets under management, this organization is investing heavily in its future growth and building the infrastructure needed to support a path beyond $1B in assets.

The Controller will partner closely with executive leadership while transitioning responsibilities from an outsourced accounting model to an internal finance organization.

- Ensure accurate and timely financial reporting in accordance with GAAP.
- Manage budgeting, forecasting, cash flow, variance analysis, and financial compliance.
- Oversee CAM reconciliations, tenant billings, lease-related accounting activities, and property-level financial performance.
- Optimize and enhance accounting systems, including Rent Manager and QuickBooks.
- Develop internal controls, accounting policies, and scalable financial procedures.
- Support acquisitions, dispositions, and strategic growth initiatives.
- Hire, mentor, and develop future accounting and property accounting staff.
Controller Qualifications

- Experience managing multiple entities, properties, and complex legal structures
