About the Role
Reporting to the head of accounting for the property management division, you'll manage full-cycle accounting for a portfolio of commercial properties, including industrial, office, and retail assets.

- Strong understanding of industrial, retail, and/or office property accounting
- Ability to manage multiple properties with varying lease complexities
- Strong Excel skills and familiarity with property management systems
- Detail-oriented, well-organized, and proactive with minimal supervision

- Comfortable working independently and as part of a team
- Experience with budgeting and tenant reconciliations is a strong asset
This is a stable and people-focused environment that supports work-life balance and values strong performers. You’ll enjoy hybrid flexibility, minimal overtime outside of budget season, and a supportive, close-knit team culture with social events throughout the year.
