About the Role
The Company is in search of a strategic and hands-on Chief Accounting Officer (CAO) to lead its financial operations. This high-impact leadership role is pivotal in ensuring financial integrity, regulatory compliance, and operational excellence. The successful candidate will be responsible for overseeing and managing day-to-day financial and accounting operations, leading the financial close process, and ensuring compliance with accounting standards, tax regulations, and SEC filings. Collaboration with senior leadership to provide financial insights, supervising and mentoring a financial team, and managing cash flow, capital structure, and financial performance are also key aspects of the position.
Applicants for the CAO role at the company must have a strong background in REIT experience, with a focus on public accounting or a publicly traded company. Proven expertise in financial management, accounting, and reporting for public companies is essential, as is a deep understanding of SEC filings, particularly 10-K and 10-Q reports. The role requires a hands-on approach to managing financial close processes and financial reporting, and while a CPA is desirable, it is not mandatory. The ideal candidate will possess strong leadership skills, excellent analytical and problem-solving abilities, and high-level communication skills for interaction with both internal teams and external partners.
