Sonoma County, California | Private Real Estate Investment Firm

Take ownership of the accounting behind a diverse real estate portfolio. This is an opportunity to work closely with the Controller, CFO, and investment team at an established Sonoma County firm where your work helps shape clear reporting and informed decisions.

You’ll join a collaborative, close-knit team that values sound judgment, dependable follow-through, and long-term relationships.

Why Join Us

  • Meaningful ownership: Manage accounting and reporting for assigned investment entities, with visibility across the broader portfolio.
  • A stable, supportive team: Join a long-standing firm with enduring investor relationships and colleagues who value collaboration.
  • Room to grow: Expand your experience in entity-level accounting, consolidations, and portfolio reporting.
  • Competitive benefits: Health coverage, a 401(k) with company match, paid time off, and professional development opportunities.

What You’ll Do

Reporting to the Controller, you’ll manage the accounting cycle for assigned real estate investment entities and help turn detailed financial activity into accurate portfolio-wide reporting.

  • Maintain general ledgers, prepare journal entries, and complete balance sheet and bank reconciliations.
  • Own monthly and annual close activities for assigned entities, delivering timely, reliable financial statements.
  • Prepare and review consolidations and roll-up reporting across multiple entities, including intercompany activity, eliminations, and supporting schedules.
  • Reconcile entity-level results to portfolio-level reports and investigate variances.
  • Monitor cash balances, forecast funding needs, and prepare transfers between entities.
  • Process payables, receivables, investor distributions, and intercompany transactions.
  • Prepare quarterly and annual reporting for lenders and investors.
  • Coordinate with external CPAs on annual tax preparation, supporting schedules, and year-end adjustments.
  • Maintain accurate records and reporting in Yardi.
  • Partner with the Controller, CFO, and investment team on analysis, process improvements, and special projects.
  • Apply GAAP and maintain sound internal controls.

What You Bring

  • A bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field.
  • At least five years of progressive accounting experience; real estate or investment entity experience is strongly preferred.
  • Hands-on experience with multi-entity consolidations, intercompany accounting, and financial roll-ups.
  • Strong GAAP knowledge and the ability to produce and explain accurate financial reports.
  • Advanced Excel skills and proficiency with Yardi or a comparable accounting system.
  • The organization to manage multiple deadlines and the curiosity to resolve discrepancies.
  • A collaborative approach and clear communication with both accounting and investment colleagues.
