Junior Accountant

Junior Accountant

Overview
This is an opportunity to join a boutique firm that provides institutional-quality outsourced accounting, fund administration, and CFO advisory services to real estate investors and developers. The firm combines deep industry expertise with best-in-class technology to help clients manage billions in assets with confidence and scale.

Why This Role Matters
As a Junior Accountant, you will be the backbone of day-to-day accounting for multiple client portfolios. Working alongside CPAs and former Big 4 professionals, you’ll gain hands-on experience in real estate accounting while learning the systems and controls that support institutional-grade reporting. This role is ideal for recent graduates who want to develop a public-company skill set without the traditional audit or tax track.
