Hilda Canales
@hildacanales
I manage property accounting, financial reporting, reconciliations, and system implementations across multi-unit real estate portfolios.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
At Stone Creek Living, I analyze apartment-community financial statements, implement Entrata and Yardi processes, and supervise two team members to deliver accurate, timely reports. I've helped improve team efficiency by 10% while supporting acquired-property transitions, chart-of-accounts setup, bank reconciliations, owner distributions, wires, transfers, and accounts payable.
I've built my accounting career across Four Mile Capital, Mission Rock Residential, Grand Peaks Properties, Spectrum Retirement Communities, and Island Hospitality Management. My work spans GAAP-compliant journal entries, month-end close automation that saved 23 hours monthly, financial analysis for portfolios and assets exceeding $14M, payroll accounting, audit support, and property-manager training.
