💼 Senior GL Accountant | $120K–$150K + Discretionary Bonus

🏢 Privately Owned Real Estate Investment Firm

I’m partnering with a privately owned real estate investment, construction, and property management company focused on multifamily residential real estate throughout the Bay Area.

The firm is looking for a Senior GL Accountant to take ownership of accounting across a complex, multi-entity organization while working closely with leadership and gaining exposure to the broader business.

Even better? An accounting intern already handles much of the repetitive work, giving you more room to focus on analysis, problem-solving, and understanding the business beyond the general ledger.

💡 What You’ll Do

  • Own hands-on general ledger accounting across multiple entities

  • Understand how different legal entities interact and how transactions flow throughout the organization

  • Analyze financial activity and investigate discrepancies rather than simply processing transactions

  • Oversee and delegate recurring accounting tasks to an accounting intern

  • Work with Yardi and other accounting processes to support accurate financial records

  • Partner directly with management and senior leadership on accounting matters and business needs

  • Gradually take on broader responsibilities as you develop a deeper understanding of the organization

Requirements

🧠 Who They’re Looking For

  • Experience in public accounting, audit, tax, or hands-on industry accounting

  • Multi-entity accounting experience is a major plus

  • Strong analytical skills and natural curiosity—you want to understand the why behind the numbers

  • Someone confident, accountable, resilient, and receptive to direct feedback

  • A self-starter who enjoys working in a small, entrepreneurial environment

  • Real estate experience is welcome but not required

🌟 Why This Opportunity Stands Out

  • 💰 $120K–$150K base + discretionary bonus

  • ⏰ Flexible working hours in an on-site Foster City role

  • 📈 High visibility and direct access to senior leadership

  • 🧠 Exposure to real estate investing, construction, property management, and multi-entity operations

  • 🤝 Opportunity to take ownership and manage an intern while developing leadership skills

  • 🚀 Potential to expand into broader business responsibilities, including future exposure to family office accounting

  • 🌱 Leadership that supports employees in growing toward roles aligned with their long-term career goals

  • 🏢 Small, entrepreneurial team with an ambitious culture and plenty of room to make an impact

If you're a CPA looking for more ownership, broader business exposure, and a potential path beyond traditional accounting, this could be an excellent next move.
