About

The Role

We’re looking for a kick‑ass, growth‑oriented Senior Accountant to join our core operations team. You’ll be the go‑to person for monthly close execution
, client reporting
, and banking operations across a complex and rapidly growing portfolio. You’ll work hand‑in‑hand with our offshore accounting team (MAS), our U.S.

-based property managers, and our investor clients. This isn’t a back‑office role—it’s a chance to lead from the center
, roll up your sleeves, and help us build an accounting function that’s fast, accurate, transparent, and built to scale. You’ll ensure our reporting meets the highest fiduciary standards while staying tightly aligned with the realities of property operations.

Key Responsibilities Month‑End Close & Review

• Own the close calendar across 50+ entities—track deliverables, follow up, unblock issues
• Review financials prepared by MAS (offshore team), including GL, AP/AR, and bank recs
• Identify and correct inconsistencies before reports go out to clients

Client and Team Coordination

• Act as the primary accounting liaison for investor clients and their controllers
• Coordinate with Property Managers on missing invoices, accruals, and exceptions
• Prepare and deliver final reporting packages—accurate, polished, and on time

Banking & Treasury

• Manage day‑to‑day banking: initiate wires, maintain access, track balances, handle fraud controls
• Coordinate reserve tracking and banking compliance
• Maintain relationships with banking partners in coordination with the Controller

Process & Systems Improvement

• Document and improve month‑end SOPs, especially handoffs with our offshore team
• Collaborate on systems, tech tools, and automation opportunities
• Help us build a lean, modern, audit‑ready accounting stack

What You Bring Must‑Have

• 5+ years of accounting experience, preferably in property management, real estate, or multi‑entity environments
• Hands‑on month‑end close experience
• Strong review skills—you catch what others miss
• Clear communicator, especially in writing (email, Teams, reporting notes)
• Comfortable working across time zones and functions, including with offshore teams
• Available to come to the office 2 days/week

Bonus Points

• Experience coordinating with offshore teams
• Client‑facing or fund admin experience
• Exposure to App Folio, Yardi, or similar platforms
• CPA, or CPA track (a plus, not a requirement)

Why Join Arboreal

• Mission‑driven:
  We do this to make housing better, not just to make money
• Growth‑stage:
  Big company ambition with small team flexibility
• Remote‑first:
  Work where you want, with quarterly in‑person meetups
• Room to grow:
  This role can evolve into Assistant Controller or beyond
• Great people:
  Smart, scrappy, good‑humored, and allergic to bureaucracy
