Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance. CPA, or the Philippine CPA equivalent, strongly preferred
• Minimum 7 years of progressive accounting experience, including at least 4 years in commercial real estate. Experience gained supporting US-based real estate owners, operators, or funds is required
• Demonstrated ownership of a monthly close cycle end to end, including review of work prepared by others rather than only preparing entries
• Hands-on experience with joint venture and fund structures: capital calls, capital contributions and distributions, waterfall and promote mechanics at a working level, and push-down funding between fund, JV, and property entities
• Experience reviewing property-level financials prepared by third party property managers, including the ability to spot miscoded expenses, missing accruals, and variances worth questioning

• Familiarity with lender reporting requirements and loan covenant or draw compliance reporting
• Track record of meeting recurring, externally imposed deadlines across multiple entities simultaneously



Communication, Client Service, and Working Style:

• Native or near-native written English. Correspondence goes directly to institutional investors, lenders, auditors, and property operators. Emails must be concise, correctly formatted, and free of errors
• Proactive follow-up. A large share of the workload is chasing: draw payments that have not cleared, audit items outstanding with an operator, coding questions unanswered. The person in this seat must track open items and pursue them without being reminded
• Comfortable directing people who do not report to them. Third party operators and outside firms must be guided, sequenced, and held to deadlines through influence rather than authority
• Escalates early and accurately. Knows the difference between a problem to solve and a problem to raise, and raises it with a recommendation attached
• Multitasking under fixed deadlines. Six reporting deadlines land between the 10th and the 25th of each month, overlapping with quarterly close, audit cycles, and ad hoc capital activity. The ability to sequence work and protect the deadlines is essential
• Discretion. Handles partner-level financial information, distribution data, and compensation-adjacent detail; strict confidentiality is expected
• Adaptable to a fast pace. Capital calls, draws, and wires arrive with short notice and must be turned around same day or next day

Preferred, Not Required:

• Big 4 or large regional firm background, particularly in real estate assurance or tax
• Prior experience supporting a US real estate sponsor from an offshore or shared services team
• Experience with affordable housing, LIHTC, or public agency and non-profit partner reporting
• Familiarity with Juniper Square or a comparable investor portal
• Prior work in an interim or leave-coverage capacity, with a demonstrated ability to absorb a workload quickly and hand it back cleanly
