Senior Accountant

We are seeking an experienced Senior Accountant with a strong background in Senior Living accounting. The ideal candidate will be responsible for full-cycle accounting across multiple senior living communities, ensuring accuracy, timeliness, and compliance with U.S. GAAP.

This role requires hands-on experience in multi-entity accounting, complex journal entries, resident billing, and a solid understanding of Senior Living operations, which involve higher complexity than standard residential or multifamily portfolios.

Key Responsibilities

• Perform full-cycle accounting for multiple Senior Living properties (including AR, AP, GL, accruals, and financial statements).
• Prepare and post journal entries related to monthly close, management fees, payroll allocations, utilities, and intercompany transactions.
• Manage and reconcile resident billing, move-ins / move-outs, and care-level adjustments.
• Review and analyze balance sheets, income statements, and cash flow reports for accuracy.
• Ensure compliance with U.S. GAAP, company policies, and internal controls.
• Collaborate with property and regional teams to maintain accurate property-level financials.
• Assist with budgeting, forecasting, and variance analysis.
• Support audits by preparing detailed schedules and reconciliations.
• Identify and implement process improvements for efficiency and accuracy.
• Train and mentor junior accountants, ensuring consistent quality and adherence to accounting standards.
