• Monitor cash flow requirements, distribution schedules, and debt service compliance.

• Audit & Tax Compliance:

• Coordinate with external auditors for year-end reviews and tax preparation.

• Ensure compliance with local, state, and federal tax requirements specific to real estate (e.g., 1031 exchanges, depreciation schedules).

• Leadership & Process Improvement:

• Manage and mentor a team of Staff/Senior Accountants.

• Identify and implement process improvements to streamline accounting workflows and enhance data integrity within ERP systems.
