Job description

Reports To: Director of Corporate Operations

Numbers matter, but people, systems, and momentum matter more.

We’re looking for a Controller with property management accounting experience, who can lead with clarity, build smart processes, and bring energy to the accounting function. This is not a “keep the lights on” role. It’s a chance to shape how accounting works, mentor a talented team, and help drive the business forward while staying true to our culture and values.

What You’ll Own:

• Be the steady financial compass, leading the Accounting and AP teams with confidence, collaboration, and accountability


• Turn property financials into a well-oiled machine: accurate, timely, and delivered when promised


• Build and protect strong accounting controls that reduce risk and keep surprises off the balance sheet


• Modernize workflows by embracing technology and smarter systems (less friction, more efficiency)


• Partner closely with Operations and Admin teams to solve problems, streamline processes, and improve communication


• Keep a pulse on cash flow, reserves, reimbursables, and banking activity, raising flags before issues become fires


• Step in when needed to support complex accounting matters, transitions, or tight deadlines

You’ll Thrive Here If You:

• Know GAAP inside and out and can explain it without putting people to sleep


• Have property management accounting experience (minimum 2 years)


• Enjoy mentoring, coaching, and building strong teams


• Are comfortable talking directly with clients and leadership on complex financial topics


• Love improving systems and aren’t afraid of change or new tech


• Hold a Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or equivalent experience

Why This Role Stands Out:

You won’t be boxed into outdated processes or siloed decision making. You’ll have influence, trust, and the opportunity to leave the accounting function better than you found it.

Join Nevada’s largest locally owned property management company, Stout Management Company. Since 1978, we’ve grown to manage more than 9,500 units across the state, without losing our small-business heart. We believe in promoting from within, building long-term career paths, and supporting our teams so they can succeed.
