Salary: $110,000 – $120,000 + 5–10% Bonus
Why This Opportunity Stands Out:
• Join a fast-growing commercial real estate developer focused on hyperscale data center projects. • Gain visibility with senior accounting leadership and key business decision-makers. • Play a critical role in large-scale development projects from land acquisition through construction completion. • Enjoy a hybrid work schedule that offers flexibility while maintaining team collaboration. • Build expertise in development accounting within one of the fastest-growing asset classes in real estate. • Work closely with lenders, investors, project managers, and executives across the organization. • Take ownership of impactful projects rather than being limited to routine accounting tasks. • Be part of a company experiencing strong portfolio growth and expansion. • Benefit from a clear long-term career path into accounting leadership opportunities. • Earn a competitive compensation package with bonus potential.
Key Responsibilities for the Senior Accountant – Development Accounting:
• Manage the full project draw process, including funding requests, draw packages, and payment execution. • Perform development accounting for multiple active real estate and construction projects. • Track project costs, budgets, capital expenditures, and project allocations. • Prepare journal entries, account reconciliations, and support month-end close. • Review and process construction invoices while coordinating with project teams and vendors. • Support financial reporting, cash flow planning, and lender/investor reporting requirements.
Qualifications for the Senior Accountant – Development Accounting:
• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or Finance. • 2–3+ years of development accounting experience within commercial real estate, construction, industrial development, or similar project-based environments. • Hands-on experience managing project draws. • Experience with Yardi or similar real estate accounting software preferred. • Experience supporting construction, development, or capital project accounting activities.
