Controller – Real Estate Development Team

Controller – Boston-based Real Estate Development Firm

Our client, a real estate firm in downtown Boston, is growing their data center development platform and is seeking a Controller. This opportunity will lead corporate, development, and operating accounting functions and report directly to the Chief Development Officer. The position plays a key role in cost control, financial reporting, development accounting, and overall accounting infrastructure as the platform continues to grow.

This is a strong opportunity for someone with development accounting experience who is comfortable operating in a fast-moving, entrepreneurial environment where responsibilities may evolve and processes are still being built.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead development, accounting for active data center projects
• Maintain Yardi Job Cost, review monthly costs, and support cost reforecasting
• Prepare budget-to-actual variance analysis and development fee calculations
• Support the transition from development accounting to operating accounting
• Oversee monthly reporting packages, operating budgets, CAM reconciliations, and tenant-related accounting
• Manage corporate close, budgets, reforecasts, audits, tax planning, and AP/AR processes
• Partner with construction, development, valuations, portfolio management, acquisitions, dispositions, and investor accounting teams

Qualifications:

• 8+ years of accounting experience
• Development accounting experience required
• BS in Accounting required
• Experience with Yardi, MRI, or similar accounting/property management software
• Strong Excel, communication, organization, and analytical skills
• Ability to manage ambiguity, shifting priorities, and evolving processes

This is an excellent opportunity for a hands-on accounting leader who wants to help build the finance function for a growing digital infrastructure platform. This role is best suited for someone who enjoys ownership, nuance, and a “start-up” type environment rather than a highly structured corporate setting.
