Senior Property Accountant

Join one of Canada’s well-established real estate organizations and take the next step in your property accounting career. Our client is seeking an experienced Senior Property Accountant to join its Calgary team, offering the opportunity to work with a substantial national commercial real estate portfolio. This newly created position is an excellent opportunity for an accounting professional who enjoys taking ownership of complex financial responsibilities, collaborating with experienced industry professionals and contributing to the continued success of a respected organization.

Your New Employer

Our client is part of a highly regarded, Calgary-founded real estate group with more than 30 years of success in the Canadian real estate industry. Managing nearly 21 million square feet across more than 100 commercial properties nationwide, the organization has established a strong reputation for delivering exceptional property management services and building lasting client relationships. Recognized as a Platinum Club member of Canada's Best Managed Companies, our client offers a collaborative, entrepreneurial environment where employees are valued, professional growth is encouraged and individuals have the opportunity to make a meaningful contribution.

Your New Role

You will take responsibility for common area maintenance (CAM) preparation and reconciliations across the managed portfolio, ensuring accurate tenant statements are delivered within established deadlines. You will lead the annual property budgeting process and apply your understanding of commercial leases to resolve accounting and recovery questions.

Working closely with senior management, client representatives, property managers, tenants and external auditors, you will address complex CAM matters and support clear, timely financial communication. You will also provide coaching, training and guidance to colleagues, contributing to consistent standards and continuous improvement within the accounting team.

What Sets You Apart

You bring 10 or more years of full-cycle accounting experience in a property management environment, including direct commercial real estate experience. Strong Yardi proficiency is required, while experience with MRI is an asset. You have substantial expertise in CAM reconciliations, property budgeting and commercial lease analysis and interpretation, along with strong Microsoft Office skills.

You are detail-oriented, self-directed and professional, with excellent written and verbal communication skills. You enjoy collaborating with property management teams and clients and are comfortable mentoring and supporting other accounting staff. A professional accounting designation is an asset but is not required.

Why Join?

This opportunity offers a lucrative base salary plus bonus. The rewards package includes paid vacation, a one-week Christmas closure, five flex days, five sick days and comprehensive group benefits, including short- and long-term disability coverage.

After one year of employment, you will be eligible for RRSP matching, a self-development allowance and education assistance. Following successful completion of probation, the position is eligible for one work-from-home day per week. You will join an established national team that values collaboration, accountability and professional growth.
