Job description

The Keller Group is partnering with a growing real estate investment firm in the Phoenix area to hire a Senior Accountant. This is a hybrid seat: roughly half tax-related work and half accounting and review, with the mix shifting by season.

This is a hybrid role (4 days on site; 1 at home), and joins a phenomenal leader, a great culture and offers room for growth. If you are looking for a diverse role with a top ranked company in the Valley, this could be a great fit.

What you’ll be doing:

• Preparing quarterly and annual tax estimates and forecasting, so leadership and investors aren’t surprised at year-end.
• Tracking investor basis and capital accounts across the portfolio’s entities, and working with the outside CPAs on K-1s and returns.
• Producing financials and reconciliations for a multi-entity portfolio, and helping the Controller with year-end close and reporting to outside parties.
• Reviewing the work of two accountants and being someone they can go to for questions and guidance.

What they’re looking for:

• Bachelor's Degree
• CPA or CPA eligible
• Roughly five years of accounting experience with strong fundamentals in reconciliations, financials and the general ledger.
• The ability to read and understand K-1s and tax returns. You don’t need to be a career tax specialist, but you should be comfortable with tax and want to learn more of it.
• Someone who works independently, likes supporting a team and has a steady record of growth in their career.
• Public accounting professionals looking to move into industry are very welcome to apply.
• Real estate or private equity experience and a CPA are both pluses but not required.

You’ll get real exposure to real estate partnership accounting at a firm that’s scaling, with a collaborative culture and leadership that genuinely supports personal and family priorities. They value flexibility, enthusiasm and people who make the team better.
