About the Opportunity

We are partnering with a publicly traded hospitality real estate organization to hire a Senior Property Accountant to join a well-established, collaborative accounting team. This is a direct-hire opportunity offering a strong balance of property accounting ownership, public company financial exposure, and long-term career growth—without the constant urgency and fire-drill environment often associated with similar roles.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys review, analysis, and judgment-based accounting work, values strong team support, and wants exposure beyond traditional property accounting.

Key Responsibilities

This position blends core property accounting responsibilities with light but meaningful public company financial reporting exposure.

Property Accounting & Monthly Close

• Own the monthly close and financial review for a defined portfolio of hotel properties

• Review trial balances and financial results prepared by property management teams

• Analyze results, investigate variances, and proactively ask questions to ensure accuracy and completeness

• Prepare and review journal entries, month-end adjustments, and balance sheet reconciliations

• Serve as the primary point of contact for financial questions with property managers

• Support budgeting and forecasting activities, including variance explanations

Financial Reporting & Public Company Exposure

• Assist with quarterly financial reporting in a public company environment

• Support SEC-related tie-outs, roll-forwards, and data integrity checks to ensure property-level data accurately rolls up into consolidated financials

• Contribute to aggregation of financial information, schedules, and supporting documentation used in external reporting

• Partner with corporate accounting and reporting teams during quarterly close cycles (supporting role—not primary SEC preparation)

Process Improvement & Controls

• Participate in process improvement, automation initiatives, and efficiency enhancements

• Operate in a SOX-compliant environment, supporting completeness, accuracy, and internal controls

• Assist with audit and compliance support as needed

This role is review- and analysis-focused—not daily transactional accounting.

---

Team Environment

• Join a six-person Senior Property Accounting team

• Highly collaborative culture with strong peer support and shared best practices

• Structured onboarding and ongoing support—new hires are not left to figure things out independently

• Leadership emphasizes stability, communication, and long-term development

Many candidates compare the team environment to public accounting in a positive way: shared accountability, peer learning, and consistent standards.

---

Systems & Career Development

• Current environment utilizes an Excel-based general ledger

• The organization is in the early stages of a major systems transformation, including:

  • Oracle Fusion

  • Oracle EPM

• This role will provide early exposure to system implementation and transformation work, making it a strong résumé-building opportunity for candidates interested in systems, process design, and long-term growth

---

Qualifications

Required

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting

• Approximately 4+ years of accounting experience

• Strong month-end close and reconciliation experience

• Comfortable reviewing financials prepared by others and asking thoughtful questions

• Analytical, detail-oriented, and confident communicator

• Team-oriented mindset with the ability to manage responsibilities independently

Preferred

• Public accounting or audit experience

• Public company accounting exposure

• Property, real estate, or hospitality accounting experience (helpful but not required)

---

Why This Role Stands Out

• Competitive compensation with bonus and equity

• Supportive, team-oriented accounting culture

• Public company exposure without excessive pressure

• Opportunity to be involved in a major Oracle implementation

• Stable organization with a long-term focus and minimal turnover

Pay Details: $95,000.00 to $102,000.00 per year
