A growing real estate and investment-focused organization is seeking a Controller to join its finance team. This role offers the opportunity to lead a small team, work closely with senior leadership, and gain exposure to a wide range of accounting functions, including property, project, and corporate accounting. The perfect role for someone who enjoys balancing financial oversight with the occasional existential crisis triggered by acquisition spreadsheets.
About the Role
Reporting to senior leadership, the Controller will oversee day-to-day accounting operations, support financial reporting activities, and help drive process improvements across the organization. This position is ideal for a hands-on accounting professional who is looking to step into a leadership-focused role with long-term growth potential.
What You’ll Do
- Oversee daily accounting operations and manage a team of accounting professionals
- Review financial reporting activities across multiple entities and projects
- Support accounting related to acquisitions, sales, and corporate transactions

- Previous leadership or team management experience is preferred
- Strong understanding of financial reporting and accounting operations
- Excellent organizational, communication, and problem-solving skills
- Career-driven mindset with the ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment
Why Join
This is an excellent opportunity to join a collaborative and growing organization where your work will have visible impact across the business. The company offers a supportive team environment, comprehensive benefits, professional development support, and exposure to senior leadership and strategic initiatives. A place where “wearing multiple hats” mostly means accounting, leadership, operations, and occasionally deciphering whatever someone uploaded to the shared drive without naming properly.
