About the Opportunity

JRP-Atlanta is conducting a confidential search on behalf of a successful and growing commercial real estate investment and development firm headquartered in Atlanta.

Our client specializes in acquiring, developing, and managing industrial commercial real estate throughout the Southeast. The company is seeking a highly organized, dependable, and detail-oriented Administrative & Accounting Assistant to provide direct support to its founder.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys working in a small, entrepreneurial business environment and has a strong combination of administrative, accounting, and bookkeeping skills.

The primary objective of this position is to take ownership of the company's day-to-day administrative and accounting support functions, allowing the founder to devote more time to acquisitions, development, and business growth.

This is a hands-on role for someone who is comfortable working independently, managing details, maintaining accurate financial records, and ensuring that important administrative responsibilities are handled efficiently and consistently.

Key Responsibilities

Accounting & Bookkeeping

·         Assist with day-to-day bookkeeping and accounting using QuickBooks.

·         Process vendor invoices, payments, and expense documentation.

·         Maintain accurate financial records and organized accounting files.

·         Assist with account reconciliations and tracking financial transactions.

·         Monitor accounts payable and receivable as needed.

·         Coordinate with outside accountants, tax professionals, and other financial partners.

·         Help gather and organize financial information for reporting and tax preparation.

Administrative Support

·         Manage routine administrative responsibilities and daily office support.

·         Organize company records, contracts, correspondence, and electronic filing systems.

·         Prepare correspondence, reports, spreadsheets, and presentations.

·         Coordinate communications with vendors, lenders, brokers, contractors, and business partners.

·         Maintain company calendars, track important deadlines, renewals, and other obligations.

·         Assist with maintaining acquisition pipeline information, company databases, and property documentation.

·         Organize due diligence materials and maintain accurate electronic property files.

·         Handle special administrative and accounting projects as needed.

Qualifications

·         Three or more years of relevant experience in bookkeeping, accounting support, administrative assistance, or a combination of these functions.

·         Practical working knowledge of QuickBooks.

·         Proficiency with Microsoft Office 365, particularly Excel, Word, and Outlook.

·         Strong organizational skills and exceptional attention to detail.

·         Excellent written and verbal communication skills.

·         Ability to manage multiple responsibilities, prioritize effectively, and meet deadlines.

·         Comfortable working independently and taking ownership of assigned responsibilities.

·         Resourceful, dependable, and proactive, with a willingness to identify and resolve everyday operational issues.

·         Experience supporting an entrepreneur, small business owner, or executive is highly desirable.

Commercial real estate experience is a plus but not required. We are more interested in finding someone with solid accounting, bookkeeping, and administrative capabilities than someone with an extensive real estate background.

An associate or bachelor’s degree in accounting, business, or a related field is preferred but not required. Relevant professional experience may substitute for formal education.

Compensation & Benefits

·         Annual salary of $65,000–$80,000, depending on experience.

·         Discretionary performance bonus opportunity.

·         Health insurance allowance.

·         Paid time off.

·         Initially remote, with a transition to a hybrid work arrangement as the company establishes its office.

·         Opportunity for a long-term position with a growing entrepreneurial company.

Why Consider This Opportunity?

This position offers the opportunity to work directly with the founder of a growing commercial real estate investment and development company.

Rather than being one person in a large accounting or administrative department, you will have the opportunity to take ownership of important responsibilities and make a meaningful contribution to the company's day-to-day success.

The ideal candidate will enjoy being a trusted resource, bringing organization and consistency to the accounting and administrative functions, and allowing the company's founder to concentrate on growing the business.

If you are a hands-on accounting and administrative professional who takes pride in doing things right, enjoys working independently, and appreciates the opportunity to make a difference in a growing company, we would like to hear from you.

All inquiries will be handled in the strictest confidence.
