Description

I'm partnering with a well-established real estate organization seeking a Controller to join its leadership team. This is a newly created role that combines responsibilities previously handled by a long-tenured finance leader along with strategic projects currently supported by the CFO. Reporting directly to the CFO, the Controller will serve as a key business partner and oversee the full finance and accounting function.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead and develop a finance and accounting team of approximately six professionals

• Oversee financial reporting, month-end close, GAAP compliance, and overall accounting operations

• Manage balance sheet, income statement, cash flow, and third-party transaction reporting

• Analyze real estate performance metrics including IRR, cash-on-cash returns, rent rolls, CAM reconciliations, and recoveries

• Partner closely with executive leadership on strategic initiatives, special projects, and operational improvements

• Serve as a polished representative of the finance team when interacting with clients, lenders, board members, and other external stakeholders

Requirements

What We're Looking For

• CPA required

• 15+ years of accounting and finance experience

• Real estate/property accounting experience required

• Strong operational accounting and financial reporting expertise

• Advanced Excel skills

• Proven leadership and team management experience

• Highly detail-oriented, adaptable, and comfortable managing multiple priorities in a lean environment

Why Consider This Opportunity?

$180K-$200K + bonus

Onsite role with potential flexibility over time

Free parking and a beautiful office environment

100% employer-paid healthcare for an individual

3 weeks PTO plus sick time

Excellent work-life balance with no late nights or weekend expectations

Small, collaborative team where you'll gain exposure to many aspects of the business

This is an excellent opportunity for a seasoned Controller who enjoys being hands-on, partnering with leadership, and making a meaningful impact within a growing organization.
