What I'm looking for

I seek a property accounting role in a collaborative real-estate organization where I can lead month-end close, manage CAM reconciliations, support budgeting, and contribute to audit and lender reporting.

I am a seasoned property accountant with extensive experience managing financials for grocery-anchored shopping centers, residential portfolios, and condominium associations. I consistently complete month-end close, prepare financial statements, and deliver thorough variance analysis and reconciliations.

My background includes CAM reconciliations, RET escalations, escrow calculations, and providing property-level workpapers for investor distributions and lender reporting. I support acquisitions and dispositions with income and expense prorations and prepare year-end schedules for tax filing.

I have strong tenant and vendor management experience, handling AR collections, AP invoice approval and coding, cash management, and coordinating with attorneys on lease and tenant matters. I also assist asset management and leasing teams with budgets, cash flow projections, and lease review for accurate billing.

I am proficient with Microsoft Excel and industry systems including MRI Software, Yardi, AvidXchange, NexusPayables, QuickBooks, Skyline, and Jenark, and I bring a focused, self-motivated approach to meeting strict deadlines and supporting audit and tax processes.
