Join a design-forward real estate firm where you’ll own cash flow strategy, lead accounting operations, and directly influence financial decision-making alongside executive leadership.

Accounting Manager
Salary: $115K–$130K
Why This Opportunity Stands Out:
• Direct visibility and partnership with the CFO in a strategic, high-impact role

• Blend of corporate accounting and strategic finance responsibilities
• Work in a design-driven, innovation-focused organization with a strong market reputation
• Hands-on role with influence over financial reporting, tax strategy, and audit processes
• Diverse exposure including treasury, tax, and even high-trust private accounting responsibilities
• Long-standing, stable company with 40+ years of success in luxury real estate development
Key Responsibilities for the Accounting Manager:
• Oversee daily accounting operations and ensure accurate financial reporting
• Manage and forecast cash flow, providing insights on liquidity and financial strategy
• Coordinate and review multi-entity tax filings and compliance efforts
• Lead audit readiness and enforce accounting policies and internal controls
