Oversee income tax preparations for multiple entities, ensuring timely filing, compliance with federal, state, and local tax regulations, and advise on tax strategies and implications of business decisions. This involves staying updated on tax laws and coordination with our external tax preparers and advisors.
Review and analyze accounting data to produce accurate financial reports, which are essential for strategic planning and decision-making.
Enforce proper accounting methods, policies, and principles to ensure that all financial activities align with legal standards and company policies.
Monitor systems and procedures and initiate corrective actions to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of the accounting department, if necessary.
Assign projects and direct staff to ensure compliance and accuracy, providing guidance and leadership to the accounting team.

Manage personal accounting activities for one family member, including bill pay, account reconciliations, and financial recordkeeping, while maintaining strict confidentiality and professionalism.

What You'll Need

Bring approximately 5-7 years of robust experience in accounting management, with a preference for candidates with a background in real estate.
Demonstrate the ability to manage and complete projects and priorities within agreed-upon deadlines.
Consistently produce high-quality, accurate deliverables.

Exhibit strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
Ability to work both autonomously and within a team framework.
Have strong written and oral communication skills.

What Will Set You Apart

A proven track record in leading accounting operations within a dynamic real estate environment, demonstrating a strategic impact on business growth and financial health.
A history of innovation in financial processes and systems, with a focus on efficiency and accuracy in financial reporting and cash flow management.
Exceptional ability to communicate complex accounting information to non-financial stakeholders, facilitating informed business decisions.
Leadership experience in mentoring and developing accounting professionals, fostering a culture of continuous learning and operational excellence.
Hands-on experience in both Timberline Sage and Yardi software systems along with strong Excel skills
