Controller

The Controller is a candidate who can run property accounting for a retail real estate portfolio and keep the numbers right. You'll lead a team of Assistant Controllers, Property Accountants, and the AP/AR/Collections group, and you'll work closely with senior leadership.

This isn't a hands-off role. You'll set the bar for your team, coach people up, and fix what's broken in the accounting function. We want someone who solves problems before they're asked to and earns trust across the business.

Key Responsibilities:

• Run the monthly, quarterly, and annual close: financials, reconciliations, journal entries, accruals, supporting schedules.
• Own CAM and tenant recovery reconciliations, including billing disputes.
• Lead annual property budgeting and support forecasting and variance analysis.
• Oversee AP, AR, collections, and general ledger accounting.
• Build better accounting policies, controls, and systems as the business grows.
• Handle property insurance: certificates, renewals, workers' comp audits, claims.
• Coach your team: clear expectations, real feedback, real accountability.
• Lead accounting through acquisitions, dispositions, and management transitions.
• Support audits, tax prep, and reporting to ownership and lenders.
• Partner with Property Management and leadership to solve problems and improve how things run.

The Opportunity:

This role offers the chance to join well known, highly regarded retail investor with a large portfolio in the Western United States.

The successful candidate will have the opportunity to make a meaningful impact from day one while continuing to develop within a collaborative, entrepreneurial team backed by the resources and reputation of a market leading organization.
