Build Your Career with One of BC's Leading Real Estate Organizations
MatchBox Consulting Group is partnering with one of British Columbia's most established and respected real estate organizations to recruit an Intermediate Property Accountant.
Following a successful recent recruitment partnership, our client is expanding its accounting team and looking for talented professionals ready to take the next step in their careers.
This is an excellent opportunity to join a financially strong, growing real estate business with a substantial portfolio, an exceptional reputation, and genuine opportunities for long-term career advancement.
You'll gain exposure to a diverse portfolio of income-producing properties, work alongside experienced accounting and real estate professionals, and develop the technical and commercial skills needed to progress into senior accounting, management, and finance leadership positions.
This isn't just another accounting job. It's an opportunity to build a career with an organization that invests in its people and promotes professional growth.
The Opportunity
As a Property Accountant, you'll take ownership of full-cycle accounting and financial reporting for an assigned portfolio of commercial real estate assets.
You'll work closely with property management, leasing, finance, and other internal teams, gaining valuable insight into how a sophisticated real estate organization operates.
The position offers a compelling balance of hands-on accounting responsibility, financial analysis, stakeholder interaction, and exposure to broader real estate investment activities.
What You'll Be Doing
Property Accounting & Financial Reporting
- Manage full-cycle accounting for an assigned portfolio of income-producing properties.
- Prepare monthly, quarterly, and annual financial statements and reporting packages.
- Maintain accurate general ledgers, reconciliations, accruals, and amortization schedules.
- Prepare operating cost reconciliations, rent rolls, tenant chargebacks, and management fee calculations.
- Maintain lease and tenant information using Yardi.
Budgeting, Analysis & Portfolio Performance
- Participate in annual property budgeting and forecasting.
- Prepare variance analysis and provide meaningful insights into property performance.
- Support asset valuations, capital expenditures, and financial planning initiatives.
- Monitor working capital requirements, cash flow, and owner distributions.
Collaboration & Continuous Improvement
- Partner with property management, leasing, treasury, and finance teams.
- Support property financings, intercompany transactions, and special projects.
- Identify opportunities to improve accounting processes and reporting efficiencies.
- Contribute to a collaborative, high-performing accounting team.
What You'll Bring
- Approximately 5+ years of progressive accounting experience, ideally within commercial real estate or property management.
- Strong full-cycle accounting skills, including financial reporting, reconciliations, budgeting, and variance analysis.
- Experience with Yardi and strong Microsoft Excel skills.
- A CPA designation, or progress toward one, is highly valued.
- Strong organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple reporting deadlines.
- A proactive, analytical mindset and an interest in understanding the business behind the numbers.
- Excellent communication skills and the confidence to collaborate across departments.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
Real Career Progression
