Assistant Controller – Property Accounting (Interim)


Compensation- $50-65 per/hour (commensurate with experience)


Why This Opportunity Stands Out



  • Key leadership contributor supporting financial operations for a $100M+ multi-entity real estate portfolio

  • High-visibility role partnering directly with executive leadership, legal, leasing, and asset management teams

  • Opportunity to take ownership of cash flow oversight, receivables strategy, and financial reporting

  • Interim role with meaningful impact in a fast-paced, operationally complex environment


Position Overview


We are seeking an experienced Assistant Controller-level professional to oversee core property accounting functions with a focus on cash management, accounts receivable, and revenue reporting. This role will act as a critical bridge between transactional accounting and financial oversight, ensuring accuracy, timeliness, and insight across a diverse portfolio.


Key Responsibilities



  • Own and oversee the full accounts receivable and billing lifecycle across multiple properties and revenue streams, ensuring accuracy, completeness, and timely collections

  • Manage complex cash flow activity including wires, electronic payments (ClickPay), and event-based revenue; ensure proper recording, reconciliation, and reporting

  • Lead month-end close activities related to revenue, AR, and cash, including reconciliations, variance analysis, and occupancy reporting

  • Partner with senior accounting leadership to prepare and analyze consolidated cash flow reporting and financial summaries across entities

  • Drive improvements in AR processes, collections strategies, and reporting frameworks to enhance visibility and reduce delinquencies

  • Collaborate cross-functionally with leasing, legal, and operations teams to resolve billing issues, support tenant communications, and align on revenue tracking

  • Serve as a key point of contact for AR and cash-related inquiries, providing insights and recommendations to leadership


Qualifications



  • 5–8+ years of progressive accounting experience, with strong exposure to real estate/property accounting

  • Deep understanding of accounts receivable, cash management, and revenue recognition in a multi-entity environment

  • Advanced Excel skills (pivot tables, lookups, data analysis) and experience working with large datasets

  • Experience with MRI, Yardi or similar property management/accounting systems strongly preferred

  • Proven ability to interface with leadership and cross-functional stakeholders in a fast-paced environment

  • Strong analytical mindset with the ability to identify issues, recommend solutions, and improve processes
