Coordinate labor scheduling and logistics related to physical eviction execution.

Client Support, Reporting & Communication

Serve as the financial escalation point for client and tenant inquiries submitted through the customer support system (HubSpot or similar).

Prepare and deliver financial reports for internal leadership meetings and institutional multifamily clients.

Respond to client financial questions with clarity and professionalism, providing ongoing education where needed.

Improve client portal literacy and overall client financial reporting experience.

Financial Reporting, Analysis & Special Projects

Lead complex reconciliation projects (e.g., trust accounting, RFDO, legacy ledger corrections).

Prepare monthly, quarterly, and annual financial reports including budgets, forecasts, cash flow analyses, and variance reports.

Partner with senior leadership to strengthen internal controls, optimize workflows, and implement financial systems enhancements.

Support special projects and ad‑hoc financial analyses tied to company initiatives and property performance.

Qualifications

Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related discipline (CPA or advanced degree strongly preferred).

5+ years of progressive accounting / finance experience, including direct supervisory or team leadership responsibilities.

Strong understanding of GAAP, financial reporting, and real‑estate or property management accounting.

Proficiency with accounting software (QuickBooks, property management systems), Excel, and reporting tools.

Excellent leadership, organizational, and communication skills, with the ability to manage multiple priorities.
