Oversee common area maintenance and tenant-related reconciliations, ensuring calculations align with lease requirements and supporting documentation is audit-ready.
Partner with property accountants and operations teams to address tenant billing questions, resolve discrepancies, and explain complex accounting structures such as expense pools, gross-ups, and caps.
Monitor multifamily accounting activity, including rent support, concessions, revenue recognition, vacancy-related analysis, and security deposit reconciliations.
Help implement and reinforce accounting policies, internal controls, proper workflow design, and segregation of duties across the department.
5+ years of accounting or controllership experience, preferably supporting real estate portfolios with commercial and multifamily assets.
Strong knowledge of financial reporting, month-end close procedures, account reconciliations, accruals, and supporting schedules.
Experience reviewing tenant-related reconciliations and applying lease terms to accounting and billing processes.
Understanding of multifamily accounting concepts, including rent activity, concessions, revenue recognition, vacancy analysis, and security deposits.
Ability to interpret accounting policies, strengthen internal controls, and promote consistent process execution across a team.
