• Research and analyze technical accounting matters, including consolidation, lease accounting, and project cost accounting, and apply U.S. GAAP guidance to business transactions

Joint Venture & Partner Relations

• Serve as a key accounting liaison between Alexandria and external joint venture partners, building and maintaining productive partnership relationships

• Prepare and present cash flow projections to executive management and joint venture partners and manage capital funding requirements and distributions

• Partner with Asset Services to deliver annual property budgets to joint venture partners

• Respond to partner inquiries and provide timely, accurate financial information and analysis

Financial Reporting

• Prepare monthly joint venture partner reporting packages, including financial analytics, fluctuation analyses, operational overviews, and executive summaries

• Prepare stand-alone audited financial statements and coordinate directly with external auditors to successfully complete annual audits

• Stay current on new accounting pronouncements and evaluate their potential impact on joint venture financial statements and accounting practices

• Provide financial reporting support for the preparation of the Company’s quarterly and annual SEC filings, including Forms 10-Q and 10-K, as well as quarterly supplemental reporting

Qualifications and Experience:

• Bachelor’s degree in accounting, finance, or a related field required

• CPA or progress toward CPA certification preferred

• At least years of relevant accounting experience required

• Public accounting experience highly preferred

• Commercial real estate accounting experience at a public company preferred

• Strong knowledge of U.S. GAAP and demonstrated ability to research and apply technical accounting guidance

• Experience preparing financial statements and managing general ledger accounting activities

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with exceptional attention to detail

• Ability to successfully manage multiple priorities, meet deadlines, and perform effectively in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills with the ability to interact effectively with colleagues, senior management, joint venture partners, auditors, and other external stakeholders.

• Advanced proficiency with Microsoft Excel and working knowledge of Microsoft Word and PowerPoint.

• Experience with Yardi is desirable.
