The Accounting Manager / Controller will be the primary hands-on accounting operator for monthly close execution, general-ledger activity, AP/AR supervision, recurring reporting, accounting documentation, and control discipline.

§ Supervise AP/AR workflow, coding and approval discipline, vendor setup controls, collections follow-up, aging discipline, dispute documentation, and audit trails.

§ Support budget inputs, variance analysis, mid-year reforecasting, property-level explanations, JV reporting, and owner/principal-level reporting as assigned.

§ Document accounting processes, approval routing, close checklists, control points, reporting assignments, and recurring workflows so the department is more resilient and cross-trained.
