Controller

The Role : Controller

Location : Austin, TX (Hybrid Schedule 1 or 2 days in office)

The Company

Our client has grown to manage more than 11,500 units across 40+ multifamily communities in Texas. From the beginning, they have been dedicated to creating high-quality, affordable living environments and building strong, thriving neighborhoods. Our client’s mission is rooted in serving residents, supporting partners, and strengthening communities.

The Role

We are seeking a highly motivated and detail-oriented Controller to lead and actively participate in the financial operations of the multifamily housing portfolio.

The Controller will supervise a team of 10 Financial Administrators while also personally managing property-level books to fully understand workflows, constraints, and opportunities for improvement. This role is critical in ensuring timely, accurate reporting to investors, equity partners, and lenders, while fostering a collaborative relationship between finance and operations.
