About the Opportunity

The company is a South Florida organization with deep roots in real estate development. Its accounting runs across a complex, multi-entity structure — roughly 100 LLCs, 60–70 separate QuickBooks Desktop files, and multiple sets of books and bank accounts.

The work itself is not complicated; the structure is. Success in this role is less about advanced technical accounting and more about staying organized and confident across a high number of entities without getting overwhelmed. Much of the activity is management accounting: many entities with low transaction volume spread across a large number of books.

This person will focus on the real estate and general corporate entities, working alongside the Controller, an investment accountant (who covers private equity, hedge fund, and securities activity), and an in-house administrator. We are looking for someone with a strong foundation, the capacity, and initiative to take on more.

Key Responsibilities

- Multi-entity bookkeeping — maintain accurate books across numerous LLCs in QuickBooks Desktop, managing multiple sets of books and bank accounts in parallel.
- Transaction tagging & categorization — code and tag transactions correctly to the right entities and accounts.
- Accounts payable / bill pay — process and support bill payment across entities.
- Reconciliations — perform regular bank and account reconciliations across a high volume of accounts.
- Management accounting — record periodic activity across investment and holding entities, including capital calls, distributions, and K-1 activity.




- Month-end support — assist with close activities across entities and keep records clean, organized, and audit-ready.
- Real estate & corporate accounting — support day-to-day accounting and reporting for the real estate and general corporate entities.
- Proactive communication — stay responsive and collaborative with the Controller and team during US business hours via Teams, WhatsApp, and email.

Required Qualifications

- Experience: 4+ years in accounting or bookkeeping, including direct experience supporting US-based companies.
- QuickBooks Desktop: hands-on proficiency (QuickBooks Online a plus).
- Multi-entity comfort: proven experience working across many entities or companies without losing track — real estate, family office, or fund-administration backgrounds strongly preferred.
- Core accounting: strong reconciliations, accounts payable, general ledger, and month-end close fundamentals.
- Tools: Microsoft Office / 365, SharePoint, and Teams.
- Communication: excellent written and spoken English.
- Initiative: a self-starter who takes ownership, flags issues early, and offers recommendations — not only checklist execution.
- Availability: able to work full-time on US Eastern hours.

Preferred / Bonus





- Real estate development or property accounting background — familiarity with how development and holding entities are structured and booked.
- Family office or fund exposure — comfort with capital calls, distributions, and K-1 activity.
- High entity counts — prior experience managing 50+ entities or QuickBooks files.
- Growth mindset — interest and capacity to grow into broader responsibilities over time.
