Accounting Manager

Why This Role Is Different

Build, don't just maintain. Use AI tools to genuinely redesign how accounting works. Lead the team & build smarter systems. Partner across the business.

What You'll Actually Do

• Own the Daily Accounting Engine
• Run AP, AR, and GL — and deliver accurate financial statements on time across multiple property and corporate entities.
• Drive a tight month-end close. No one likes a late close. You won't let it happen.
• Manage all account and bank reconciliations, invoice coding, vendor setup, and insurance requirements.
• Own the tax submission process — coordinate with the external CPA, maintain the calendar, and prep year-end schedules.
• Support cash management, loan covenant reporting, and investor distributions.
• Work with the Senior Finance Director to implement new workflow automation and improve efficiency.

Lead the Team & Build Smarter Systems

• Manage and develop the virtual assistant team — starting with an AP specialist now ramping up — with clear productivity metrics and a relentless focus on improvement.
• Use AI and agentic tools to redesign how the accounting function works. This is the most exciting part of the job. Make it count.
• Create clear, simple, scalable systems that support F&F's growth.

Partner Across the Business

• Collaborate closely with Asset Management, Construction, and Property Operations.
• Support lender funding of construction projects — documentation, retainage true-ups, timely payments.
• Maintain budget performance and surface analysis that drives better management decisions.

Requirements

• The single most important thing: you're genuinely excited about AI. Not just curious about it — you've already been poking at it, testing it, finding ways to make your work better.
• 5+ years of accounting experience, including month-end close and multi-entity work.
• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field.
• Advanced Microsoft 365 / Excel skills — you turn messy data into clear insights fast.
• Strong grasp of financial reporting best practices and accounting systems.
• Appfolio experience is a bonus.
• CPA is a plus, but not required.
• Real estate experience is a plus, but not required.

The stuff that really sets you apart

• Ownership mentality — you take responsibility and drive things to completion.
• Comfortable with ambiguity and an entrepreneurial pace. You don't need a perfect playbook.
• A continuous-improvement mindset — you always think "how could this be better?"
• Strong communicator who can influence across departments.
• Can manage, coach, and develop a virtual team, delegate effectively, and prioritize ruthlessly.
• "Can do" attitude. It sounds cliché. We mean it.
