Why This Opportunity Stands Out:
- High-impact role with visibility into acquisitions, dispositions, and complex financing transactions
- Direct interaction with ownership, investors, and lenders on strategic financial decisions

- Ensure accounting records and financial reports are accurate, timely, and compliant with GAAP (including debt modifications, acquisitions/dispositions, and interest capitalization)
- Perform general ledger review and analysis; oversee month-end and quarter-end close processes
- Review and prepare Property/Development Management Fees and Construction Management Fees, ensuring proper calculation, invoicing, and recording
- Review monthly and quarterly financial statements and supporting schedules in partnership with Property/Project Managers and Accounting teams
- Research accounting guidance and draft position memos for new or complex transactions
- Maintain strong internal controls and ensure compliance with established accounting policies
- Support Asset Management and Property Management with annual budgets and reconciliations between Argus models and budgets/forecasts
Qualifications:
- Bachelor’s degree in Accounting

- Experience with complex transactions (debt, acquisitions/dispositions, interest capitalization)
- Advanced Excel skills; Argus experience a plus
