Ideal Background: Loan Processing, Underwriting, or Financial Document Review
About SEB Housing, LLC
SEB Housing is a Massachusetts-based leader in affordable housing compliance and consulting, with over 40 years of success. We work with property owners and management companies to ensure housing programs are administered accurately and fairly. We are a growing organization that is fundamental in implementing housing policy initiatives, by both enforcing the guidelines that give integrity to the programs, while also helping people who need housing through a process that can be sometimes daunting. We are a high-performing but down-to-earth team who takes our work seriously but tries not to take ourselves too seriously.
The Role
As a Compliance Officer, you will manage a pipeline of applicant files and determine eligibility for affordable housing programs. This role is highly similar to:

All team members begin with brief onboarding in Administrative Support to understand our workflow, then transition fully into Compliance. If you’ve worked in mortgage processing, underwriting, banking operations, tax prep, or similar, this role is a strong fit. You’ll use the same skills (reviewing financial documents, verifying eligibility, and managing files) but without sales pressure or commission-based work .

- Tax returns (1040s)
- W-2s, pay stubs
- Bank and asset statements
- Verify income and assets against program guidelines
- Identify missing or inconsistent information

- Manage a high-volume pipeline of files with accuracy and speed

Strong fit backgrounds include:
- Mortgage loan processing or underwriting
- Banking or lending operations
- Tax preparation or bookkeeping
- Paralegal (financial/document-heavy roles)
- High-volume financial or administrative processing
Core skills:
- Excellent attention to detail
- Ability to manage multiple files at once
- Strong written communication (this is critical)
- Comfort working with financial documents

Work Environment & Culture

- High level of personal responsibility
- Daily optional “Training Time” sessions with managers and teammates
- Standard bearers in our field
Compensation & Growth
- Base salary: $64,000
