This is a rare opportunity to own accounting end-to-end for a flagship mixed-use development project — Little River, just north of Miami — from day-to-day operations through executive-level reporting.

This role includes property- and tenant-level accounting, development fee tracking, tax compliance, payroll processing, and systems management (Yardi and related platforms). The Accounting Manager will partner closely with the Miami-based property management and operational team while working face-to-face with the Chicago-based AJ accounting team, lead financial discussions with executives, support audits, and act as a resource for property managers and the investments team. We are looking for a problem solver with an ownership mindset who embraces change and drives process improvement.
