Career options
We're growing rapidly and you'll be in a prime position to grow along with us, taking on expanding responsibilities and new challenges. Depending upon your goals and ambition, in time, you might step up to a management role or pursue other opportunities within the company.

Growth without limits

Keys to Success

While your accounting skills will be paramount, to thrive in this role, a cultural fit will also be essential. You will be a collaborative team player who is self-motivated and equally comfortable working independently. You'll take ownership of your responsibilities but while being open to fresh ideas in an evolving function and team. You’ll bring passion and an outstanding work ethic to do things the right way the first time, and always be on the lookout for opportunities to improve. As a senior team member and contributor, you will be ready to help others as needed, transferring knowledge. At the same time, you will be surrounded by highly intelligent people who will provide you the opportunity to learn and develop. You bring the learning acumen and we'll provide the building blocks to develop a long-term career.

To excel in this role, you’ll need the knowledge to understand the properties you are responsible for, and what you’re doing in terms of property accounting so that you can speak fluently about your work. For example, you’ll be able to read a real estate lease and have a good understanding of the accounting implications of what you see there. You'll also be able to close the books for specific properties monthly. Quick question for you - click here
