What's unique about this job?
Reporting to the CFO/Managing Partner, you'll build and oversee all fund-level and project-level accounting processes, ensure GAAP compliance, support capital-raising efforts, and serve as a key partner to executive leadership on a growing real estate private equity platform focused on ground-up development, build-to-rent communities, and value-add multifamily assets.
This is a high-ownership role in a fast-growing platform, where you'll also build the FP&A function over time, including hiring and mentoring analysts and establishing a disciplined reporting cadence.
Here are some of the exciting day-to-day challenges you will face in this role:
- Oversee all accounting for GP and LP entities, including consolidations under ASC 810; manage capital calls, distributions, waterfalls, and carried interest calculations.
- Prepare monthly financial statements, partner capital statements, and investor reports; coordinate annual audits and tax returns with external audit and tax firms.

- Own commitment accounting for long-term construction contracts and review and approve monthly general contractor pay applications (AIA G702/G703 or equivalent) against the schedule of values and contracted commitment.
- Establish and enforce change order, retainage, and lien waiver controls, including approval requirements and release procedures at project closeout.
- Manage AP, AR, payroll, cash flow forecasting, and the corporate general ledger; oversee development management fee billing and ensure intercompany billings are recorded, reconciled, and eliminated properly in consolidation.
- Own the annual budgeting and long-range planning process across corporate, fund, and project entities, and build the firm's core forecast models, including rolling 13-week cash flow, multi-year P&L, balance sheet, and liquidity/runway projections.
- Lead the monthly and quarterly re-forecast cycle, reconciling each update to the prior forecast and delivering budget-vs-actual variance analysis with written commentary on drivers, risks, and corrective action.
- Develop and maintain underwriting and investment models for new acquisitions and development opportunities, stress-testing key assumptions through sensitivity and scenario analysis.
- Model capital structure and financing decisions, including construction loan draws, refinancing, and debt sizing, and evaluate their impact on project and fund returns (IRR, equity multiple, DSCR, debt yield).
- Define and track the KPIs and management dashboards used to measure fund, project, and corporate performance, and present financial results and strategic recommendations to the CFO, Managing Partner, and investors.
- Assist in preparing investor reporting packages, capital account statements, and due diligence materials to support capital raises and institutional partners.
- Implement and improve accounting systems (Intuit Enterprise Suite & bill.com), internal controls, and closing procedures; monitor covenants, reporting deadlines, and lender deliverables.
You will shine if you have:
- Master's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field; MBA from a top-tier institution preferred. CPA/CA nice to have.
