A rapidly expanding real estate investment group in Florida is seeking a Property Controller to oversee financial operations for a diverse commercial property portfolio. This confidential search is ideal for a hands-on accounting leader who excels in an entrepreneurial environment and can build scalable systems as the organization grows.

- Strong background in commercial real estate and property management accounting
- Leadership and team development experience
- Proficiency with Yardi or comparable software
- Highly organized, deadline-driven, and detail-oriented
- Ability to create scalable systems and improve process efficiency
Why This Role Stands Out
