Accounting Manager

What if your next accounting job was actually about building the future of accounting?

At F&F Properties, we're not looking for someone to keep the books exactly the way they've always been kept. We're looking for an Accounting Manager who sees AI and automation not as a threat — but as the most exciting toolkit they've ever had access to.

This role gives you real ownership: of the accounting engine, of a growing virtual assistant team, and of redesigning how financial work gets done using cutting-edge AI and agentic tools. You'll free up senior leadership for strategy while you build something better, faster, and smarter from the ground up.

✨ Why This Role Is Different

️ Build, don't just maintain.

Use AI tools to genuinely redesign how accounting works.

Manage and develop a virtual assistant team.

Join a fast-growing real estate company at a pivotal moment.

What You'll Actually Do

Own the Daily Accounting Engine

→ Run AP, AR, and GL — and deliver accurate financial statements on time across multiple property and corporate entities.

→ Drive a tight month-end close. No one likes a late close. You won't let it happen.

→ Manage all account and bank reconciliations, invoice coding, vendor setup, and insurance requirements.

→ Own the tax submission process — coordinate with the external CPA, maintain the calendar, and prep year-end schedules.

→ Support cash management, loan covenant reporting, and investor distributions.

→ Work with the Senior Finance Director to implement new workflow automation and improve efficiency.

Lead the Team & Build Smarter Systems

→ Manage and develop the virtual assistant team — starting with an AP specialist now ramping up — with clear productivity metrics and a relentless focus on improvement.

→ Use AI and agentic tools to redesign how the accounting function works. This is the most exciting part of the job. Make it count.

→ Create clear, simple, scalable systems that support F&F's growth.

Partner Across the Business

→ Collaborate closely with Asset Management, Construction, and Property Operations.

→ Support lender funding of construction projects — documentation, retainage true-ups, timely payments.

→ Monitor budget performance and surface analysis that drives better management decisions.

Requirements

Who You Are

The single most important thing: you're genuinely excited about AI. Not just curious about it — you've already been poking at it, testing it, finding ways to make your work better. That mindset is non-negotiable.

The basics:

→ 5+ years of accounting experience, including month-end close and multi-entity work.

→ Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field.

→ Advanced Microsoft 365 / Excel skills — you turn messy data into clear insights fast.

→ Strong grasp of financial reporting best practices and accounting systems. Appfolio experience is a bonus.

→ CPA is a plus, but not required. Real estate experience is a plus, but not required.

The stuff that really sets you apart:

→ Ownership mentality — you take responsibility and drive things to completion.

→ Comfortable with ambiguity and an entrepreneurial pace. You don't need a perfect playbook.

→ A continuous-improvement mindset — you always think "how could this be better?"

→ Strong communicator who can influence across departments.

→ Can manage, coach, and develop a virtual team, delegate effectively, and prioritize ruthlessly.

→ "Can do" attitude. It sounds cliché. We mean it.
