✨ Staff Accountant

📍 Emeryville, CA (Hybrid)

🏢 Real Estate Development & Investment Organization

💰 Competitive Base + Bonus

Our client is a highly respected real estate development and investment organization known for tackling complex projects, managing multiple entities, and creating long-term value. They're seeking a Staff Accountant who thrives in a dynamic environment and wants to be viewed as a trusted contributor, not just a transactional accountant.

This role has evolved into a primarily Staff Accounting position, with limited accounts payable responsibilities, making it an excellent fit for someone looking to deepen their general ledger, financial reporting, and project accounting experience.
