  • Manage relationships with external auditors, tax advisors, and lenders, coordinating audit and tax preparation processes
  • Support due diligence and accounting integration for new property acquisitions and dispositions
  • Evaluate and implement accounting systems and process improvements to support company growth, including potential ERP or property management software transitions

  • Proven ability to build and scale accounting processes and teams in a high-growth environment
  • Strong leadership, communication, and organizational skills
  • Comfortable operating with a degree of ambiguity and adapting processes as the company evolves

Preferred Attributes
