About the role
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
