About the Company

A privately held, entrepreneurial real estate investment and property management company with a long-standing presence in the Bay Area. The organization owns and manages a diverse portfolio of multifamily residential properties and operates across multiple related entities.

About the Role

The Senior GL Accountant will take ownership of accounting across a complex, multi-entity organization. This is a hands-on position for someone who enjoys understanding the bigger picture, connecting the dots between entities, and digging into the why behind the numbers rather than simply processing transactions.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage day-to-day general ledger accounting across multiple related entities and understand how transactions flow throughout the organization

• Perform account reconciliations, journal entries, month-end accounting, and other core accounting activities

• Analyze financial information and investigate variances or unusual activity

• Maintain accurate accounting records and support reporting needs across the organization

• Review and delegate routine accounting tasks to a part-time accounting intern

• Work closely with management and senior leadership on accounting-related projects and business needs

• Identify opportunities to improve processes and develop a deeper understanding of the company's operations

Requirements

• Active CPA license required

• Strong accounting fundamentals with hands-on experience in general ledger accounting

• Analytical and naturally curious with a desire to understand the business behind the numbers

• Comfortable working independently in a small, entrepreneurial environment

• Strong attention to detail with the ability to see the big picture

• Multi-entity accounting experience is highly preferred

• Real estate accounting experience is not required

• Yardi experience is a plus, but not required

Backgrounds that could be a strong fit include:

• Big 4 or public accounting professionals coming from audit or tax

• Industry accountants with strong hands-on accounting experience

• Experienced accountants looking to transition into a smaller organization with broader responsibilities and exposure

What Makes This Opportunity Different

This role offers significantly more than traditional GL accounting. Because the team is small, you'll have the opportunity to:

• Gain a broad understanding of the business beyond the accounting function

• Work closely with senior leadership and have high visibility within the organization

• Take ownership of meaningful responsibilities and see the impact of your work

• Develop your career within a growing, entrepreneurial environment

• Gain exposure to additional areas of the business, including potential opportunities supporting family office-related accounting

• Build a role around your strengths and long-term career interests as you grow with the organization
