Next Step Recruitment
Business Strategy Analyst, Multifamily Assets
Next Step Recruitment, Chicago, Illinois, United States, 60290
About the Role
This is a business-facing analytical role supporting a growing multifamily real estate platform within a privately held investment firm.
You’ll sit on the Investments team and work closely with senior leadership, accounting, and operations to help the firm understand how its multifamily portfolio and property management business are performing. Your job is to connect financial results to real operational drivers and help leadership make informed, data-driven decisions.
This is not a back-office accounting role or a narrow reporting position. It’s designed for someone who wants exposure, ownership, and a clear line of sight between their analysis and business outcomes.
What You’ll Be Doing You’ll support leadership by analyzing performance across a portfolio of multifamily assets and the operating business behind them.
Your responsibilities will include:
Reviewing monthly, quarterly, and annual financial statements across multiple properties
Identifying trends, risks, and performance drivers at both the property and portfolio level
Building financial dashboards and reporting packages used by senior leadership
Supporting forecasts related to staffing, maintenance, overhead, and overall portfolio performance
Working with accounting, property management, and BI systems to extract and validate data
Improving reporting processes to make insights clearer, faster, and more actionable
Supporting scenario modeling and analysis for strategic initiatives, including growth and acquisitions
Collaborating regularly with accounting, operations, and investment teams
This role offers high visibility and real responsibility early in your career.
The Team & Environment You’ll be joining a lean investments team in a fast-growing organization. The environment is hands-on, collaborative, and fast-moving. Analysts are expected to ask questions, understand the business behind the numbers, and take ownership of their work.
If you enjoy working closely with decision-makers and don’t want your work to sit in a spreadsheet that no one reads, this environment is built for you.
Who This Role Is a Strong Fit For You’re likely to thrive in this role if you:
Have 1–3 years of experience in finance, FP&A, consulting, or a similar analytical role
Are comfortable analyzing income statements, balance sheets, and cash flow statements
Enjoy turning financial data into clear business insights
Are strong in Excel and comfortable with forecasting and scenario modeling
Prefer a lean environment with exposure, ownership, and evolving priorities
Are interested in real estate or investing, even if your background isn’t directly in the industry
Common backgrounds include FP&A, consulting, early-career investment roles, or analysts at growing or PE-backed companies.
Who This Role Is Likely Not a Fit For This role may not be right if you:
Are seeking a pure accounting or audit position
Prefer highly structured, large corporate environments
Are looking for a senior-level or people-management role
Want a narrow, repetitive scope with limited cross-functional interaction
Why Consider This Opportunity
Direct exposure to senior leadership and investment decisions
A hands-on role where your analysis directly influences strategy
Broad exposure to multifamily real estate operations and portfolio performance
Meaningful ownership and visibility early in your career
Competitive compensation, bonus opportunity, and long-term growth potential
