Senior Accountant (Washington DC-Baltimore Area)

Why Mogul?

Mogul is a highly motivated team building platforms and products for the future of real estate.

We are driven by the belief that technology can fundamentally reshape the entire real estate industry. We leverage cutting-edge tools and artificial intelligence to increase transparency, lower the barriers to entry, and create efficiencies across all facets of real estate.

Our real estate investing platform provides all investors direct access to high-quality, cash-flowing, residential US properties. With additional products / platforms implemented at scale, we architect the new infrastructure of real estate.

Our team's culture of inclusion and open discussion drives efficiencies, innovation, and autonomy. We operate in the exact way you had been saying your former employer should have operated this entire time (if the meeting could be an email, it will be; no PowerPoint presentations with fancy renderings).

Join our mission to bring one of life's necessities (shelter) into the AI digital age, open the asset class to millions, and in doing so, enhance financial literacy and shrink the wealth gap.

• We, Not I — A company is just a collection of people striving towards a goal. To achieve the goal, we all need to be striving for the goal together

• The Highest Quality (1 of 1) — Approach everything with quality, every interaction, product, property, everything. The little things matter
• Client obsessed — We are nothing without our customers. Treat them like you would treat family, assuming you love your family
• Input focused, Output oriented — Everything is measurable, our inputs drive outputs, and the scientific method is how we learn & grow
• Let's F*cking Grow — Pretty simple, grow, learn, act. Just make sure you are pushing forward in all areas at a rapid pace
• Execute — Execute. Execute. Execute

About the Role

Mogul is seeking a systems-minded finance professional who is looking to further their growth as an accounting professional at a company with a portfolio scaling to billions of dollars of assets under management. You'll report directly to our Director of Accounting and Tax. We are growing our portfolio, and growing it fast: past 150+ properties and climbing.

As the Senior Accountant, you will prepare and maintain property accounting, the monthly, quarterly, and annual close, and partnership tax returns, plus special projects.

Location: This role is hybrid, based out of our Washington, DC or New York City office. You must be located within driving distance of one of the two offices, or willing to relocate.

• Property Accounting: Maintain the books for a growing number of single-asset LLCs and reconcile property management statements into the general ledger
• Close: Own the monthly, quarterly, and annual close and keep improving the close checklist
• Tax & Compliance: Prepare partnership tax returns (Form 1065 and K-1s), supporting workpapers, and the recurring entity compliance filings
• Working knowledge of accounting and bookkeeping is ESSENTIAL. Real estate experience is a MAJOR value-add, and tax preparation experience is a plus. What is non-negotiable is the desire and ability to learn and grow in your role.

What You'll Do

• Report directly to the Director of Accounting and Tax
• Property accounting and close
• Maintain the books for a growing number of single-asset LLCs
• Prepare reconciliations of property management statements into the general ledger
• Prepare fixed asset and depreciation schedules
• Run month-end close, including bank reconciliations, accruals and reversals, and prepaid and deferred amortization
• Document, maintain, and improve the close procedure and close checklist
• Maintain AI-assisted coding rules across banking and ERP platforms to support a rapidly scaling business model
• Tax
• Prepare Form 1065, K-1s, and related forms
• Prepare supporting M-1 adjustments and tax workpapers
• Entity compliance
• Prepare recurring compliance forms: 1099s, annual reports, LLC formation filings, and more
• Own the entity compliance process, including new LLC formation requests, tax ID registrations, foreign qualifications, and certificates of good standing, automated in partnership with the development team

Where This Goes

• We're building this role as the preparer seat in a preparer / reviewer model that scales with the portfolio. As more of the books, tax, and compliance work gets automated, you'll take on special projects and become the finance resource other departments lean on.

Required Skills & Technology

• Ability to quickly learn concepts, skills, and processes on the fly
• Working knowledge of Excel (lookups, pivot tables)
• Working knowledge of debits and credits, accrual accounting, and reconciliations
• Comfort using AI tools in daily work
• Creative problem-solver who seeks multiple solutions to one problem rather than one solution to multiple problems

Required Experience

• Education: Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or Business Administration
• Accounting: 3-5 years of experience; bookkeeping experience required

Nice to Have

• Experience in partnership tax and K-1 preparation
• Experience implementing or operating in an ERP
• Experience in entity compliance management
• Real estate-related experience

What Mogul Offers

• Opportunity to advance the entire real estate industry and become part of the new face of real estate
• Efficiency, transparency, and open lines of communication
• Creative environment with room to grow in both your role and career
• Growth and performance based on work product, not on hours spent working (if Leonardo Da Vinci was based on quantity rather than quality, he would be considered the worst painter of all time)
• Autonomous level of responsibility, with direct engagement of key stakeholders and leadership
• Competitive compensation
• Competitive equity compensation package
• In-office Benefits: Washington DC & NYC
• Comprehensive benefits plan
• Flexible work environment
