• Participate in bi-weekly investor meetings and communicate the financial performance of assets under management
• Review annual budgets and prepare ad hoc forecasts and financial analyses
• Monitor cash management and cost control for properties under management
• Prepare short- and long-term cash flow and liquidity analyses
• Partner with operational leaders to identify opportunities to improve efficiency and profitability

• Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities
• Excellent communication and presentation skills
• Ability to work directly with operational leaders and senior executives
• Comfortable working in a highly collaborative, onsite environment
• Ability to translate complex financial information into clear business recommendations

What You'll Get

This is an opportunity to join a company that offers excellent benefits and exceptional perks, including:

• Company stock with a defined vesting schedule
• Low-cost, competitive benefits
• Strong overall compensation package
• Opportunity to work directly with senior leadership, including the CFO
• High visibility and significant opportunity for professional growth
• A role where your financial analysis directly influences business decisions

If you're looking for a role where you can get out from behind the spreadsheet, work directly with business leaders, build financial models, and have a meaningful impact on the business, this could be an excellent opportunity.
