• Perform waterfall calculations, preferred returns, and investor distributions.
• Handle accounting for grocery-anchored retail centers, restaurant tenants, and mixed-use developments.

• Work closely with ownership and existing leadership through the succession planning process.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting or related field.
• Ideally 5+ years of progressive accounting experience, preferably in commercial real estate.

• Strong experience with partnership accounting, owner reporting, and waterfall calculations.
• Experience with retail, mixed-use, office, multifamily, or other commercial properties.
• Proficiency with MRI and/or Yardi and advanced Excel.
• Strong GAAP knowledge, financial reporting, and full-cycle accounting skills.
• Comfortable working independently in a hands-on, roll-up-your-sleeves environment.
• CPA a plus, but not required.
