• Experience supporting privately owned U.S. real estate companies with multiple entities and collaborating with offshore colleagues is also highly desirable.

Responsibilities

• The accountant will prepare a full suite of financial statements, such as income statements, balance sheets, cash flow reports, and rent rolls.
• Furthermore, the role involves reconciling bank and credit card accounts, processing semi-monthly payroll, and providing historical data to support property budgeting.
