Senior Accounting Manager

GC Realty & Development, LLC
Roselle, IL Full Time
POSTED ON 3/22/2025
AVAILABLE BEFORE 4/20/2025

Are You a Systems-Driven Leader Who Thrives in High-Volume Accounting?

  • Are you confident leading a team through thousands of transactions without losing your grip on the details?
  • Are you ready to own accounting operations in a fast-moving, high-accountability environment?

If you said yes, we're talking to you!! GC Realty & Development is hiring an Accounting Manager to lead our finance team through scalable growth and operational clarity.


🎯 The Challenge: Lead & Scale Accounting with Precision

We're not looking for a traditional accounting manager who checks boxes and closes books. We're looking for a leader who builds systems, drives accountability, and can guide a team through 5,000-7,000 transactions per month without breaking a sweat.

You'll report directly to the CEO and will be responsible for:

  • Ensuring financial accuracy and timely execution
  • Streamlining processes to support scale
  • Coaching a team of 4 through volume and complexity
  • Aligning day-to-day accounting with company-wide performance goals

🧠 Who You Are (The Right Fit)

You are a:

High-Volume Operator - You've led accounting functions with intense transaction volume and tight deadlines. You don't flinch-you organize.

Process Builder - You see inefficiencies and fix them. You document processes, simplify workflows, and build sustainable systems.

Team Leader - You coach, manage, and hold people accountable. You don't micromanage, but you never abdicate.

Detail-Obsessed - You take pride in clean numbers, reconciled books, and catching what others miss.

Finance-Operations Bridge - You understand how operations impact financial results-and how finance can drive better decision-making.


What You'll Be Doing

  • Lead a 4-person team across corporate and property management accounting
  • Own monthly close, account reconciliations, AP/AR, and trust accounting
  • Manage 5,000-7,000 invoices/month across maintenance and property management
  • Ensure accuracy, compliance, and internal control within a high-volume environment
  • Optimize systems and processes-streamline, automate, and scale
  • Partner with leadership to support financial planning, forecasting, and reporting
  • Use tools like QuickBooks and AppFolio to drive real-time accuracy and clarity

What You Bring

  • 5 years in accounting (property management or real estate a strong plus)
  • 2 years in a supervisory or leadership role
  • Proficiency with QuickBooks and AppFolio (must-have)
  • Strong knowledge of general accounting principles
  • Experience managing high-volume financial operations
  • Comfortable leading people and driving accountability
  • Bonus: WIP (Work In Progress) or construction accounting experience

Why You Want This Role

  • Make a measurable impact on a growing company
  • Lead a capable team in a business with real operational scale
  • Own the accounting function-not just tasks
  • Work in a company where clarity, speed, and ownership are valued
  • Be part of a leadership culture that values results over excuses

What You'll Get

  • $100,000-$120,000 base salary
  • Up to 10% performance-based bonus
  • 15 PTO days paid birthday 7 holidays
  • 401K company match
  • Medical, Dental, Vision, Life, Disability, FSA
  • Better Book Club (we pay you to read!)
  • Leadership & professional development
  • Hybrid work potential
