Accounting Manager

CLV Group is redefining what a Canadian real estate platform can be. As an integrated investor, developer, and operator, we acquire, transform, and manage real estate assets at scale. Our model combines disciplined capital allocation, bold redevelopment strategies, and operational excellence to generate durable long term value.

We are not simply growing. We are building one of the most dynamic real estate platforms in the country.

Our conviction is clear. Real estate has the power to shape cities, strengthen communities, and drive economic progress. But at its core, our work is deeply personal. The buildings we acquire and transform are not abstract assets. They are people’s homes. They are places where daily life unfolds, where milestones are celebrated, and families gather.

The communities we create also support local businesses, entrepreneurs, and thousands of careers that depend on well designed, well managed space. Every decision we make carries responsibility. It impacts residents, partners, and the professionals who choose to build their careers within our organization.

From large scale office to residential conversions to complex mixed use communities, we pursue projects that unlock potential and reimagine what space can become. Sustainability, design excellence, and measurable impact are embedded in every decision because the outcomes matter to real people.

What also differentiates CLV is not only the scale of our ambition, but the strength in our core. We are builders in every sense of the word. We build assets. We build communities. We build careers and we build leaders. We believe careers in real estate are meaningful careers. The work we do shapes neighbourhoods, supports livelihoods, and creates long term stability for residents and investors alike.

Our team is driven, entrepreneurial, and united by a belief that performance and purpose are mutually reinforcing. As we scale, we remain deeply committed to social responsibility, ensuring our growth strengthens the communities in which we invest and creates opportunity for the people who grow with us.  Philanthropy and social responsibility are embedded into our DNA, ensuring that as we grow, so do the communities we serve.  We want to show the world that a business can scale AND do good at the same time.  

CLV is entering a defining chapter. With a landmark acquisition underway and a robust national pipeline, we are expanding our footprint, deepening our capabilities, and accelerating our trajectory. This is not incremental growth. It is transformational expansion that will shape the next era of our organization and the communities we serve. For investors, we offer disciplined growth, institutional strength, and long term value creation at scale. For exceptional talent, we offer something rare: the opportunity to help build a category defining real estate platform from the inside. This is a moment to step into complexity, drive change, and leave a lasting mark on cities across Canada.

Today we are confirming our search for a Manager, Accounting to join CLV Group at a pivotal stage of growth and operational evolution. While the title is broad to attract strong candidates, this role is firmly rooted in property accounting and is best suited to someone with direct real estate portfolio experience.

This position is process led and execution focused. It is less about managing a large team and more about owning, strengthening, and modernizing the end to end property accounting process across a defined portfolio. You will oversee a small team, but your primary impact will come from building discipline, improving workflows, optimizing systems, and ensuring reporting integrity in a high volume environment.

In addition to the duties typically expected of a seasoned accounting professional, responsibilities will include:

Property Accounting Ownership

You will own the full cycle accounting process for an assigned portfolio of properties, ensuring accuracy, consistency, and timeliness.

• Lead monthly, quarterly, and annual close processes across multiple assets
• Review journal entries related to operations, capital activity, and renovations
• Oversee bank and general ledger reconciliations and ensure proper supporting documentation
• Deliver complete and accurate financial statements with clear variance analysis
• Maintain schedules for recoveries, property taxes, utilities, and capital expenditures
• Ensure transactions align with lease terms, internal controls, and accounting policies

Process Design and Control Discipline

This role has a strong mandate to manage and improve process execution.

• Standardize close timelines and deliverables across properties
• Identify inefficiencies, recurring errors, or control gaps and implement practical improvements
• Strengthen documentation and create repeatable, scalable workflows
• Ensure audit readiness through organized working papers and reconciliations
• Reduce reliance on manual work by redesigning processes for clarity and accountability

Technology and System Optimization

We are seeking a leader who understands how to leverage technology to improve property accounting performance.

• Maximize Yardi functionality to enhance reporting accuracy and workflow efficiency
• Improve system configuration and reporting outputs to reduce manual adjustments
• Introduce automation where appropriate to streamline reconciliations and recurring entries
• Support system enhancements and integration of newly acquired properties
• Develop clearer reporting tools and dashboards to track close progress and portfolio performance

Team Oversight

You will build and develop a high performing small team.

• Provide direction on priorities and review work for accuracy and completeness
• Ensure timelines and documentation standards are consistently met
• Support skill development related to systems, controls, and technical accounting
• Create clarity around roles and accountability within the close process

Operational Partnership

• Work closely with property management to explain financial results and resolve discrepancies
• Provide structured financial insight into operating and capital activity
• Support portfolio transitions and acquisition integration from an accounting perspective

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in accounting, finance, or a related field
• CPA designation preferred
• Five or more years of progressive accounting experience, with strong preference for direct property accounting or real estate portfolio experience
• Demonstrated experience managing full cycle accounting for multiple properties or entities
• Strong technical accounting knowledge and understanding of internal controls
• Advanced proficiency with Yardi; experience optimizing modules and improving reporting workflows strongly preferred
• Proven ability to redesign and strengthen accounting processes
• High attention to detail with a disciplined, structured approach to execution
• Ability to operate effectively in a fast paced, growth oriented organization
• Bilingualism in English and French is preferred

Most importantly, we are a small yet mighty team. This is a roll up your sleeves, help where needed role. We show up for one another, pitch in when required, and support each other’s success. We are looking for teammates who are culture builders, who will positively contribute wherever needed just as this team will do for you when you need it.  

The approximate salary range for this role is $85,000–$110,000 per year. Final compensation will be determined based on a variety of factors including skills, experience, educational attainment, professional designations, internal equity, and other job related requirements. We recognize that individuals bring different skill sets, strengths, and career experiences, and we encourage candidates at all stages of their career to apply. If your experience or compensation expectations differ from the posted range, we still welcome your application, as we value potential, growth, and the unique contributions each person can bring to CLV Group.

This role is based in our offices five days a week, giving you the opportunity to work closely with your colleagues, learn from experienced professionals, and grow in a highly engaged team environment.
