This position combines hands-on accounting, AR/AP management, revenue recognition, vendor and customer coordination, and property administration responsibilities across multiple entities and business functions.

The environment moves quickly, priorities evolve, and the right person will see that as energizing rather than intimidating. You will need strong accounting fundamentals, excellent organizational skills, sound judgment, and the ability to manage complexity without constant supervision.

• Notify management of planned absences and ensure coverage for critical responsibilities
• You are highly organized and manage your workload proactively
• You ask thoughtful questions, learn quickly, and retain information
• You are comfortable operating in evolving systems and changing processes
• You communicate clearly and follow through consistently
• You understand how accounting impacts operational decision-making across the business
• When you say something is complete, it is truly complete
