A genuine command of real estate GAAP, fund accounting, and construction accounting — paired with the humility to ask questions, learn the business, and listen to the team before making changes. A builder's mindset. Comfortable inheriting a function that needs investment, with the judgment to know what to fix first, what to leave alone, and what to rebuild from the ground up. Operational discipline. A track record of running a fast, clean close and producing financials leaders actually trust. The instinct to systematize and document rather than rely on heroics. Player-coach orientation. Senior enough to set strategy and represent the function externally, but willing to roll up sleeves on a complex consolidation, a tricky waterfall, or a thorny technical accounting question when the moment calls for it. People leadership. A genuine ability to develop talent, create career pathways, and build a team people want to join and stay on. Direct, candid, and supportive in equal measure. Communication clarity. Able to translate accounting complexity into clear narratives for the CEO, CIO, board, lenders, and investors. Writes well, presents well, and listens better. Institutional polish with entrepreneurial fit. Comfortable in rooms with sophisticated capital partners and auditors, while thriving in a growing, hands-on platform that values pace and ownership over bureaucracy. High personal integrity. This role sits at the center of how Roundhouse reports to its investors, lenders, and clients. We expect uncompromising honesty, sound judgment, and the courage to raise hard issues early.
