About the Role

The company is a growing multifamily real estate investment and property management company serving communities across the Southeast. The company manages a multi-entity property portfolio and operates in a fast-paced, detail-driven environment where financial accuracy directly impacts operational performance and investment decisions.

Leadership expects clean numbers, disciplined reporting, and strong ownership of the accounting function. This role replaces the current onshore Staff Accountant and serves as a key financial partner to the Controller. You will oversee full-cycle accounting across multiple properties, review downstream work, and ensure financial reporting is accurate, timely, and audit-ready.

This client delegates real responsibility. They expect you to own your numbers, proactively identify discrepancies, and bring solutions — not just surface problems. Clear communication, tight month-end execution, and follow-through are critical to building trust.
