Your skills should include proficiency in accounting systems and advanced Excel capabilities, while familiarity with real estate accounting platforms will be an advantage. We seek a candidate with a proven track record of successfully leading and developing accounting teams, versatile analytical and problem-solving skills, and outstanding communication abilities.
