• Assisting with annual budgeting and special accounting projects

• Preparing schedules and supporting documentation for tax and audit work

• Partnering with property management and operations teams on accounting-related questions

• Maintaining accuracy within accounting and property management systems

• Identifying process improvements and helping ensure deadlines are met

Ideal background:

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting

• 4+ years of accounting experience, ideally within real estate, property management, hospitality, or public accounting

• Strong understanding of GAAP; tax-basis accounting exposure is a plus

• Strong Excel skills and comfort working with accounting/property management systems

• Experience with systems such as Yardi, Maestro, Concur, or treasury platforms is helpful

• Detail-oriented, analytical, and comfortable managing multiple priorities

• Strong communication skills and a team-first mentality

Compensation & benefits:

• Competitive salary based on experience

• Medical, dental, and vision coverage

• 401(k) match
