Why This Opportunity Stands Out


This Assistant Controller opportunity offers a rare succession path to Controller within 9–12 months, supported directly by executive leadership including the CFO and Controller.


You’ll join a well-established real estate organization entering a high-growth phase backed by significant capital investment and long-term expansion plans. The accounting function is evolving to support increased scale, creating strong visibility and impact for this role.


This is an ideal opportunity for a hands-on accounting leader with real estate experience and strong Yardi expertise who is ready to step into a future Controller role within a growing, multi-entity environment.



Key Responsibilities of the Assistant Controller



  • Oversee full-cycle accounting across multiple real estate entities, including month-end close and financial reporting

  • The Assistant Controller will manage and support audit and tax preparation processes across the organization

  • Ensure accuracy and compliance within multi-entity financial structures and reporting requirements

  • Leverage Yardi to improve reporting, streamline processes, and enhance accounting efficiency

  • The Assistant Controller will partner with leadership to support financial planning, reporting, and organizational growth initiatives

  • Identify and implement process improvements to support scalability and modernization



Qualifications for the Assistant Controller



  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or Finance; CPA preferred

  • 5+ years of accounting experience with strong real estate industry exposure required

  • Advanced experience with Yardi (Voyager preferred)

  • Strong background in multi-entity accounting and financial reporting

  • Experience supporting audits and tax processes in a complex environment

  • Leadership experience or readiness to step into a Controller-level role



What You’ll Gain as the Assistant Controller



  • Defined succession path to Controller within 9–12 months

  • High visibility role working directly with executive leadership

  • Exposure to large-scale real estate portfolio and multi-entity structure

  • Opportunity to influence process improvement during a major growth phase

  • Hybrid schedule with strong work-life balance and employer-paid parking
