Controller (Part Time)

Company Overview

Bohm Commercial Real Estate is a Minneapolis-based real estate development and operating company focused on the redevelopment, leasing, management, and long-term stewardship of historic and creative commercial properties. Our work emphasizes adaptive reuse, community-building, sustainability, and creating spaces where innovative businesses, artists, and entrepreneurs thrive.

Our portfolio includes the historic Thorp Building in Northeast Minneapolis — a vibrant mixed-use creative property that is home to artists, makers, architects, photographers, fitness businesses, and other entrepreneurial tenants. We are a collaborative, entrepreneurial organization that values thoughtful decision-making, continuous improvement, and long-term relationships.

Position Overview

We are seeking a detail-oriented and proactive Controller (Part-Time) to provide financial oversight and support the continued growth and operational excellence of our company. This is an ideal opportunity for an experienced accounting professional seeking flexible, meaningful part-time work in a unique and creative real estate environment.

This role combines financial oversight, process improvement, mentorship, and operational support. The ideal candidate enjoys building organized, accurate, reliable financial systems and working collaboratively with ownership and staff in a professional but flexible setting.

The Controller will work closely with ownership on financial operations, reporting, process improvement, budgeting, and long-term asset management strategy. Ownership brings more than 30 years of commercial real estate development and operations experience along with formal real estate and business education, creating an environment where thoughtful collaboration, continuous learning, and strategic decision-making are valued.

The company has an established accounting function, systems, and processes already in place, along with full-time on-site accounting support. The current accountant is newer to the organization, so this role is focused on oversight, mentorship, financial review, process support, and helping ensure long-term consistency and operational excellence rather than rebuilding systems or managing high-volume transactional processing.

This position offers substantial autonomy, scheduling flexibility, and the opportunity to make a meaningful impact within a stable, long-term real estate organization.
