Staff Accountant

The Klotz Group of Companies is a vertically integrated multifamily investment platform built on execution, accountability, and excellence. We don't hire passengers - we hire drivers. People who thrive in high-performance environments, who want to stretch beyond a "job description," and who push those around them to operate at a higher standard.

We are seeking a Staff Accountant - someone who can bring financial precision and timeliness to a high-performance team. This is not a siloed "back-office" role. It is a critical, high-impact position that demands accuracy, speed, transparency, and intensity across both people and numbers.

This position will:

• Drive financial accuracy and transparency - ensuring our numbers are precise, our reporting is sharp, and our processes are built for speed and scalability.
• Inject energy, intensity, and obsession for success into the daily rhythm of the organization, lifting those around them and raising the bar every day.
• Celebrate the "C Culture" environment, invigorating teammates to commit to collaborate, cooperate, communicate, and create cohesiveness!

Key Responsibilities

Accounting & Financial Execution

• Crave to own property accounting workflows with speed, accuracy, and transparency: AP/AR, journal entries, reconciliations, and financial statements.
• Commit to strengthen policies and procedures through documentation and standardization to ensure consistency, compliance, efficiency, and scalability as the organization thrives through growth.
• Create continuity with accurate payrolls in partnership with our PEO.
• Commit to deliver monthly, quarterly, and annual financials upholding excellence to accuracy, timeliness, and excellence.
• Champion property-level and corporate accounting, including NOI tracking, budgets, forecasts, and variance reports.
• Cooperate with tax filings, audits, and compliance with precision.
• Cost accounting for development projects and facilitate draws.
• Collaborate with construction and operations leaders to provide timely, reliable financial intelligence.

What Success Looks Like in This Role

• Continue accounting outputs that leadership can trust without double-checking.
• Coalesce with a culture where there is clear communication of expectations, a commitment to results without compromise, and performance accelerates.
• Cross-functional leadership - partnering with construction, property management, and corporate teams to solve problems and unlock growth.
• Contribute actions that serve as a force multiplier: someone whose presence sharpens and motivates others and raises the standard.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, HR, or related field (Forensic Accounting + IT background a plus).
• 5+ years of hands-on experience in both HR and Accounting (construction and real estate strongly preferred).
• Advanced proficiency in QuickBooks, Excel, and property/accounting software.
• Track record of building HR systems and managing payroll, compliance, benefits.
• Experience in construction accounting, job costing, AIA invoicing, and progress billing.
• Proven ability to operate at multiple altitudes: strategic thinking + tactical execution.
• Relentless commitment to accuracy, deadlines, and accountability.

What We Offer

• A high-performance culture where accountability and excellence are the baseline.
• Competitive salary and benefits.
• The opportunity to grow with a fast-scaling platform.
• A chance to be part of something bigger than a "job" - to contribute to the culture, performance, and future of The Klotz Group.
