Our client is a fast-growing startup reimagining urban living through flexible, fully furnished co-living spaces in NYC. They’re looking for a hands-on, tech-savvy Controller to take ownership of accounting operations in a lean, fast-paced environment — ideal for a Senior Associate Accountant or experienced Bookkeeper ready to step into a Controller role.
Own the financial truth of the company. Keep cash predictable, close the books without drama, and turn data into decisions the founders actually use. That’s it.
Responsibilities:
1. Financial stewardship
- Close the books within 7 business days each month; surface wins, losses, and weird trends—no sugarcoating.
- Build board-ready financial decks that mix facts, context, and “so-what” insights.
- Coordinate income, sales, and 1099-tax filings; keep us audit-ready.
2. Operational accounting
- Run a tight A/P process—approve, pay, and log vendor bills with zero late fees.
- Maintain unit-level P&Ls inside our property-accounting stack; flag margin leaks by building.
- Keep fixed-asset and lease schedules current so depreciation never surprises us.
3. Cash & capital
- Drop a rolling 13-week cash forecast every Monday; update the model with actuals Monday AM.
- Own investor file: rents, occupancy, new-lease economics vs. budget—no waiting for ops.
4. Team & tools
- Hire, coach, and—when needed—replace accounting talent; build a bench, not a bottleneck.
- Slash manual work with smarter processes or software; brag about every hour you save.
5. Payroll & people ops
- Process semi-monthly payroll, handle onboard/off-board in the portal, sync benefit changes.
6. Risk & insurance
- Renew corporate, property, and employee benefit policies on calendar—not crisis—timelines.
Requirements:
- 6-10 yrs accounting experience; at least 2 in real estate or property-tech.
- You’ve owned a 13-week cash forecast and lived to tell the tale.
- Fluent in GAAP, lease accounting (ASC 842), and sales-tax quirks across NY counties.
- CPA or CMA preferred—prove you know the rules before we break them.
Nice-to-haves:
- Startup or PE-backed growth stories on your résumé.
- Experience with property-management PMS (AppFolio, Yardi, etc.).
- Opinionated about dashboards and willing to ship your own SQL
