Job Description
Role Overview
Our client in the real estate industry is seeking a highly experienced, CPA-certified Fund Accountant to support the full spectrum of financial reporting, investor accounting, and fund operations across our growing real estate portfolio. This is a senior-level, remote position based in the Philippines, reporting directly to our Fund Controller.
The ideal candidate brings deep, hands-on experience in real estate accounting, fund-level financial reporting, external audit, and tax compliance. Above all, we are looking for someone who is exceptionally detail-oriented: a professional whose accuracy and thoroughness are defining traits, not incidental ones. Every number matters. Every reconciliation must close. Every disclosure must be correct.
Primary Responsibilities
Fund & Financial Reporting
- Prepare monthly, quarterly, and annual GAAP financial statements across all investment entities and properties
- Own the general ledger and execute precise bank and account reconciliations across ~80 accounts with zero tolerance for error
- Produce investor-ready reporting packages and capital account statements on time and with full accuracy
Investment & Investor Accounting
- Maintain and reconcile investor capital accounts including contributions, distributions, and allocations
- Process capital calls and investor distributions in Juniper Square with meticulous documentation
- Prepare and distribute investor statements and period reports; ensure all figures are triple-checked before distribution
Cash Management & Operations
- Monitor fund cash balances and coordinate funding needs across the portfolio on a daily basis
- Process wire transfers, capital funding, and intercompany transactions with full audit trail documentation
- Maintain loan schedules, amortization tables, and interest calculations — updated, reconciled, and accurate at all times
Audit & Tax Compliance
- Lead workpaper preparation and documentation for annual audits; serve as primary point of contact for external auditors
- Coordinate K-1 preparation with tax advisors across a multi-entity LP structure; ensure accuracy and on-time delivery
- Manage tax compliance workstreams including entity-level filings, basis tracking, and year-end tax package preparation
- Proactively identify and flag accounting, audit, or compliance issues before they become problems
Qualifications Required
- CPA designation required with active license preferred
- Minimum 5+ years of real estate accounting experience, with meaningful exposure to investment fund structures (LP, LLC, JV)
- Direct audit experience, either at a public accounting firm or in an in-house audit/compliance role
- Strong tax compliance background: K-1s, partnership returns, multi-entity consolidations
- Advanced Excel proficiency: pivot tables, complex lookups, dynamic models, and AI-assisted workflows
- Hands-on experience with Yardi Voyager; Juniper Square and QuickBooks familiarity a plus
- Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or Finance required; advanced degree (MSA, MBA) is a plus
- Remote-work ready: reliable internet, professional home office setup, and ability to overlap with US Pacific Time business hours
Nice to Have
- Exceptionally detail-oriented as this is our single most important trait for this role. If this doesn’t describe you at your core, this is not the right fit.
- Self-directed and highly organized: you manage your own workload, meet deadlines without reminders, and flag issues early
- Strong written and verbal English communication skills; comfortable interfacing directly with the US-based team
- Analytical problem-solver who digs into discrepancies rather than working around them
- Professional maturity and discretion in handling sensitive investor and fund data
