We are seeking an experienced Lead Senior Accountant to join a growing organization operating in the real estate and senior living industries.

This role is ideal for a strong accounting professional who combines hands-on general ledger and financial reporting experience with an audit and controls mindset. The Lead Senior Accountant will play a key role in the monthly close process, financial statement preparation, account reconciliations, variance analysis, and review of accounting activity across multiple entities.

In addition to core accounting responsibilities, this position will help identify accounting discrepancies, evaluate processes and internal controls, support audit readiness, and ensure financial information is accurate, complete, and properly supported.

Ideal Candidate

The ideal candidate is a technically strong accountant who naturally approaches the numbers with an auditor’s mindset. This person does not simply complete reconciliations and close the books—they ask questions, investigate inconsistencies, verify supporting documentation, identify risks, and look for opportunities to strengthen accounting processes and controls.

They should be comfortable owning accounting work from transaction review through financial statement preparation while also serving as an additional layer of review and quality control for the accounting function.
