Commercial Real Estate FP&A Consultant (Lease Planning & Forecasting)

Job Description

Location : On-site in Irvine, CA (5 days / week)

Type : Contract, 3–6 months (possibility of extension)

Start : ASAP

A multi-billion real estate owner-operator is engaging a seasoned FP&A consultant to stabilize and elevate leasing revenue forecasting, planning, and reporting ahead of two incoming full-time hires. You’ll lead process improvements and system optimization across MRI, Argus, and Salesforce to create a scalable, well-documented planning engine for the office portfolio.

What You’ll Do

• System Optimization (MRI, Argus, Salesforce) : Diagnose manual workarounds, streamline reconciliations, and integrate data flows (e.g., MRI rent rolls → Argus planning → Salesforce leasing data). Align occupancy / lease activity with financial planning; limited touchpoints with SAP for financials.
• Leasing Planning & Forecasting : Upgrade quarterly forecasts and annual budgets; build durable, auditable models and documentation. Reduce single-point-of-failure risk by distributing ownership and standardizing workflows.
• Enhanced Reporting & Insights : Refine Excel-based leasing and revenue reports so asset leaders can read beyond raw stats—support storytelling with clear visuals, variance analysis, and driver-based insights.
• Change Enablement : Create clean file structures, backup documentation for assumptions, and pragmatic SOPs so the future team can scale confidently.

What You’ll Bring
