Staff Accountant (CPA)

Founded in Richmond, Virginia in 1997, CapCenter exists to help individuals and families achieve one of life's most meaningful milestones-homeownership. By bringing mortgage, realty, and insurance services together under one roof, we provide a simpler, more transparent experience designed to save clients time and money. Our commitment to innovation, including our Zero Closing Cost mortgage, has earned the trust of thousands of clients and fueled our growth through repeat business and referrals.

At CapCenter, our mission extends beyond serving clients. We foster a collaborative, high-impact environment where employees are empowered to do meaningful work, grow professionally, and make a real difference in the lives of the people we serve.

Job Overview:

At CapCenter, accounting is more than keeping the books balanced - it's about trust, stewardship, and doing the right thing for our clients and each other. We're looking for a Staff Accountant who brings both precision and pride to their work and wants to grow as part of a collaborative, high-performing team.

This role offers meaningful ownership across multiple entities, exposure to complex financial activity, and the opportunity to learn from experienced professionals who care deeply about quality and integrity. You'll be challenged, supported, and encouraged to contribute ideas that make our processes stronger and our team better.

If you're someone who values accuracy, thrives on accountability, and enjoys working with people who hold themselves to high standards - you'll feel at home here.

Key Responsibilities:

• End-to-end responsibility for daily accounting activity across balance sheet, settlement, escrow, and operating accounts - with a focus on accuracy and control.
• Timely and precise general ledger entries, reconciliations, and reviews that ensure clean books and reliable financial reporting.
• A key role in monthly and year-end close processes, including analytical review of balance sheet and income statement accounts.
• Daily cash and loan balancing, monthly account reconciliations, and proactive issue resolution in partnership with other departments.
• Close collaboration with Senior Accountants to master CapCenter's accounting policies, systems, and processes - and to continuously improve them.
• Active participation in internal and external audits (including Financial Statement and RESA audits), along with hands-on involvement in strengthening internal controls.
• Continuous process improvement - you'll be expected to ask questions, spot inefficiencies, and help raise the bar for how the Accounting Department operates.

Qualifications:

• Solid working knowledge of GAAP and a commitment to applying it thoughtfully and consistently
• Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance from an accredited college or university
• CPA required
• 2-3 years of public accounting and/or industry experience preferred
• High standards of professionalism, ethics, and integrity
• Ability to handle sensitive and confidential information with discretion
• Comfort in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment
• Strong Microsoft Office skills, especially Excel, and experience with ERP systems
• A collaborative, growth-oriented mindset - motivated to improve, willing to learn, and eager to contribute as a team player

Compensation:

The salary range for this position is $65,000 - $100,000. Individual compensation will be determined based on job-related business considerations, such as relevant qualifications, experience, education, certifications, and skills. Where applicable, this position may also be eligible for incentive compensation and/or discretionary bonus opportunities.

Benefits:

CapCenter offers a comprehensive benefits package, including medical, dental, vision, life insurance, a 401(k) plan with company match, paid vacation, paid holidays, and other programs designed to support the well-being and professional growth of our employees.
