• Reconcile operating bank accounts, security deposit and escrow balances, and intercompany transactions across related entities.

• Support tenant-related accounting by reviewing rent activity, tracking lease-driven billings, and validating recovery calculations.

• Assist in preparing financial statements, audit support files, and detailed workpapers for external accounting partners.

• Monitor balance sheet accounts, including accruals, prepaid items, and fixed assets, to maintain reliable financial reporting.

• Identify opportunities to improve accounting workflows, enhance reconciliations, and keep internal records well organized.

• Use real estate accounting platforms and related tools to manage reporting and maintain accurate property-level financial data.

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or Finance.
• At least 3 years of accounting experience, with preference for experience in commercial real estate or property management environments.
• Strong working knowledge of month-end close procedures, general ledger accounting, and account reconciliation practices.
• Experience handling bank reconciliations, intercompany balances, and detailed balance sheet reviews.
• Familiarity with tenant recoveries, lease-related accounting, or CAM reconciliation is strongly preferred.
• CPA certification, or progress toward certification, is preferred.
• Experience with real estate accounting software such as Yardi, Skyline, or comparable systems is a plus.
• Advanced Excel skills and a high level of accuracy, organization, and attention to detail.
