Controller

Job DescriptionJob Description Controller North Austin | Fully Onsite $115,000 - $125,000 Base + 10-15% Bonus We're partnering with a well-established, highly regarded investment firm in the commercial real estate space that's looking to add a hands-on Controller to their team. This is a high-visibility role within a lean, tightly run organization where you'll work closely with leadership and have meaningful exposure across accounting, investor reporting, and day-to-day business operations. What really sets this opportunity apart is the environment - a collaborative, low-ego team that values quality work without a burnout mentality. Expect a steady, manageable workload where people perform at a high level but aren't consistently working nights or weekends to keep up. Why This Role Stands Out Strong work-life balance - consistent, sustainable pace (not a 60-hour/week role) Direct exposure to leadership in a highly visible position Broad, hands-on role with real ownership and variety Stable, established firm with long-tenured employees Tight-knit team where your work is recognized and valued Opportunity to be deeply involved in the business beyond just accounting The Role This is a hands-on, roll-up-your-sleeves position within a small team where you'll have ownership across key accounting and reporting functions while also supporting broader business initiatives.

Key responsibilities include:

Managing financial reporting across multiple corporate entities Reviewing and consolidating information from third-party accounting partners Supporting investor reporting and partnership activities Assisting with distributions and ownership-level reporting Coordinating with external CPA firms on tax preparation Supporting cash management and day-to-day financial operations Contributing to acquisition and investment-related accounting work Partnering with leadership on ad hoc financial and operational initiatives What They're Looking For 4-10 years of progressive accounting experience Background in public accounting (audit strongly preferred) Bachelor's degree in Accounting (Finance considered from strong programs) Experience in small to mid-sized or entrepreneurial environments Prior experience reviewing work and/or leading others Strong understanding of financial statements and reporting Track record of stable career progression (minimal job changes) Someone who is adaptable, organized, and comfortable wearing multiple hats Nice to Have CPA or CPA-track Real estate, investment, or financial services exposure Experience working in founder-led or entrepreneurial environments Systems QuickBooks (this is a nimbler environment vs. large ERP-heavy) Bill.com, Juniper Square and related financial tools Culture & Environment This is a small, high-performing office (approx. 25-30 people) with an entrepreneurial, team-first mindset. You'll succeed here if you: Are easy to work with and low ego Take ownership without needing heavy structure Are comfortable in a fast-moving, evolving environment Enjoy being part of a collaborative, close-knit team Leadership is actively involved, and the team values accountability, flexibility, and professionalism - without unnecessary bureaucracy. What This Role Is NOT Not a pure property accounting role Not a large corporate or highly bureaucratic environment Not managing a big team Not overly structured or process-heavy Not hybrid - this is fully onsite If you're currently an Accounting Manager or strong Senior Accountant with a public accounting foundation and looking for a role where you can have real impact, visibility, and balance - this is a strong opportunity to step into a well-rounded Controller position in a great environment.
