United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Senior Accountant with prior CPA certification and 15+ years of experience spanning commercial and residential real estate accounting and public accounting. I manage multi-property portfolios generating $42M+ in annual revenue, owning month-end journal entries and accruals to ensure timely, accurate financial close, reporting, and GAAP compliance.
I’m known for driving operational efficiency through full general ledger reconciliations, resolving discrepancies, and improving month-end reporting accuracy to reduce close delays. I partner closely with property managers and executives on monthly financial statements, variance analysis, AR/AP cycles, fixed assets and depreciation, and CAM reconciliations—while supporting external audits by preparing detailed schedules and responding to inquiries.
