- Oversee lease accounting reviews and prepare technical accounting documentation to support conclusions and reporting treatment.
- Approve monthly property financial packages and analyze period-over-period variances to identify unusual trends or reporting issues.

- Lead, coach, and monitor the accounting team's daily work, including supervision of Project Accountants and overall workload management.
- Strengthen accounting operations by refining procedures, supporting internal controls, and contributing to policy and process improvements.
- Manage talent activities such as hiring, onboarding, performance feedback, training, and career development for accounting staff.
