Junior Accountant

Overview


A boutique firm that delivers institutional-quality outsourced accounting, fund administration, and CFO advisory services is currently seeking a Junior Accountant. 
Why This Role Matters

As a Junior Accountant, you’ll be the backbone of day-to-day accounting for multiple client portfolios. Working alongside CPAs and former Big 4 professionals, you’ll gain hands-on experience in accounting while learning the systems and controls that drive institutional reporting. This is an ideal launchpad for recent graduates who want to build a public-company skill set without the audit-tax grind.

Key Responsibilities

General Ledger & Journal Entries – Record daily transactions, maintain supporting schedules, and ensure accuracy of inter-company postings.
Accounts Payable / Receivable – Code invoices, process payments, post cash receipts, and resolve variances with property managers and vendors.
Bank & Account Reconciliations – Complete monthly reconciliations for operating, trust, and construction-loan accounts; investigate and clear reconciling items.
Month-End Close – Assist Senior Accountants with accruals, depreciation, and work-in-process (WIP) schedules; help prepare trial balances and supporting work-papers.
Financial Reporting – Draft balance sheets, income statements, and partner capital statements for review; roll forward budget-vs-actual analyses.
System Integrity – Enter and verify data in Yardi and other ERP modules; participate in process-improvement and automation projects.
Audit & Compliance Support – Gather PBC items, maintain SOX-ready documentation, and respond to auditor or lender requests.
Team Collaboration – Communicate directly with clients, property managers, and internal advisors to address accounting issues and timeline expectations.


Requirements
What You’ll Bring

Education: Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field (minimum 3.0 GPA preferred).
Experience: 0-2 years of accounting experience; real-estate internships or property-management exposure a plus.
Technical Skills: Solid Excel (pivot tables, lookups).
Professional Development: Intent to pursue (or in progress toward) CPA licensure highly valued.
Soft Skills: Detail-oriented, organized, and proactive; able to manage multiple deadlines and communicate clearly with both finance and non-finance stakeholders.
