Accounting Manager

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

If you’re looking for more than just a title — and want a role where your work is visible, valued, and positioned for real advancement — this opportunity delivers.

We’re partnering with a mission-driven, community-focused organization that believes strong accounting is a strategic advantage. You’ll join a respected, high-performing team that collaborates closely with leadership and plays a meaningful role in the organization’s growth and impact.

This is a place where people stay — not just because of the work, but because of the culture. Leadership is supportive, mentorship is intentional, and work-life balance is genuinely respected.

Most importantly, this role offers a clear and supported path to Controller within approximately two years for the right individual.


What You’ll Gain

  • Defined career growth with a realistic path to Controller

  • Broad exposure across corporate, property, and operational accounting

  • High visibility and partnership with executive leadership

  • A collaborative, people-first culture built on mentorship and development

  • Meaningful work within a community-focused organization

  • Work-life balance that leadership actively protects


Your Impact as Accounting Manager

You’ll take on a hands-on leadership role in a multi-entity environment, working across both corporate and operational accounting. Because the team is lean and highly collaborative, you’ll gain exposure across functions rather than being siloed into one area.

This is an ideal opportunity for someone who enjoys leading, improving processes, and preparing for the next step in their career.


What You’ll Do

  • Lead day-to-day accounting operations across multiple entities

  • Own and manage the month-end close process, including journal entries, reconciliations, and financial review

  • Support both corporate accounting and property/project-level accounting

  • Review financial statements for accuracy and GAAP compliance

  • Partner with operations, development, and senior leadership

  • Strengthen internal controls and drive process improvements

  • Mentor and develop accounting staff in a collaborative team environment

  • Support audits and manage external partner relationships


What You Bring

  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or Finance

  • 5–8+ years of progressive accounting experience

  • Strong knowledge of GAAP and full-cycle accounting

  • Experience in real estate, construction, development, or project-based environments (highly preferred)

  • Comfort working in a smaller, high-visibility organization where your contributions truly matter


The Bottom Line

This is more than an Accounting Manager role — it’s a leadership development opportunity within an organization that values people, purpose, and long-term growth. If you’re ready to step into broader responsibility and move toward a Controller position, this is a role where that future is intentionally built.
