Our client is a real estate private equity firm that manages the full development lifecycle, from land acquisition and entitlements through vertical construction, stabilization, and long-term asset management
We are looking for an experienced Staff Accountant. The firm's active development pipeline comprises six communities across the US totaling more than 706 multifamily units and over $229M in total development budget, along with a hospitality project in Tucson.
If you pair institutional-quality financial modeling with genuine technical depth in data analytics and database work, and you're just as comfortable building the pro forma as writing the query that feeds it, this is a great fit for you.
What's unique about this job?
Reporting to the Controller, you'll support the day-to-day accounting operations of a growing real estate private equity firm focused on ground-up development, build-to-rent communities, and value-add multifamily assets. You'll own the full accounts payable cycle across multiple entities and projects, track contractor billings against long-term construction commitments, handle development management fees and intercompany billing, and carry meaningful general accounting responsibility, including month-end close support, account reconciliations, and job cost tracking.
Here are some of the exciting day-to-day challenges you will face in this role:
- Own the end-to-end AP cycle across all corporate, fund, and project entities, from invoice intake through payment and filing.
- Process vendor invoices, subcontractor billings, and employee expense reports in bill.com/Intuit Enterprise Suite, ensuring accurate entity, project, and job cost coding.
- Prepare weekly payment runs (ACH, check, wire) and reconcile bill.com activity to Intuit Enterprise Suite; maintain vendor master data, W-9s, insurance certificates, and lien waivers.
- Maintain a commitment ledger for every general contractor and subcontractor agreement, tracking contract value, approved change orders, billings to date, retainage held, and remaining commitment by project.
- Review monthly pay applications (AIA G702/G703 or equivalent) against the schedule of values, verifying percent complete billed and prior billings before payment is released.
- Track change orders from request through execution, calculate and record retainage withheld, and collect conditional and unconditional lien waivers with each payment cycle.
- Reconcile the commitment ledger to job cost detail and the general ledger monthly, and provide committed vs. incurred vs. remaining-budget reporting to the Controller and development team.
- Prepare and post recurring journal entries, perform monthly bank and balance sheet reconciliations across multiple entities, and assist the Controller in closing the books on a defined monthly calendar.
- Prepare and issue monthly development management fee invoices and reconcile intercompany billings so receivable and payable balances agree across entities.
- Monitor daily cash positions, support other AR functions, assist with payroll entries, and pull supporting documentation for annual audits, tax return preparation, and lender or investor requests.
You will shine if you have:
- Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field; CPA/CA or working toward this qualification is a nice-to-have.
- 2–4 years of accounting experience, including hands-on accounts payable ownership.
- Working knowledge of US GAAP and full-cycle month-end close procedures.
- Experience with bill.com and Intuit Enterprise Suite strongly preferred; QuickBooks Online experience considered in lieu of Intuit Enterprise Suite.
- Construction or real estate development accounting experience strongly preferred, including exposure to long-term contracts, AIA pay applications, change orders, retainage, and lien waivers.
- Comfort tracking committed costs against contract values and budgets across multiple concurrent projects.
- Multi-entity accounting experience is a significant plus, particularly preparing intercompany billings and reconciling intercompany balances.
- Strong Excel skills (pivot tables, lookups, large data sets).
- Exceptional attention to detail, strong organizational skills, and the ability to manage high invoice volume across many entities.
- Excellent verbal and written English communication skills; a clear communicator who works well with vendors, project managers, and executive leadership.
- Self-starter comfortable in a fast-paced, growing environment.
