Our client, a growing and privately held commercial real estate firm based in Fort Wayne, IN, is seeking a hands-on Controller to lead corporate financial operations and contribute directly to strategic growth.
This is an ideal opportunity for someone who thrives in a smaller, fast-paced environment, enjoys variety, and isn’t afraid to say, “I don’t know — but I’ll figure it out.”

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Lead all corporate-level accounting, reporting, and compliance
• Oversee a small team (3–6) including accounting staff and administrative support
• Manage 16–20 sets of monthly books, including multi-building portfolios
• Ensure accuracy of financials at the corporate level (property-level accounting is well-established)
• Oversee HR functions: benefits, employee relations, and insurance programs
• Collaborate with ownership on strategic decisions and growth planning
• Assist with client financial communications and issue resolution
• Manage financials for both the real estate portfolio and a third-party maintenance company
• Coordinate with outsourced partners for payroll and IT
• Report directly to the Founder/Owner and Director of Operations

✅ Candidate Profile

• 3+ years in a Controller or senior accounting role within commercial real estate
• Strong background in corporate finance and HR
• Experience managing and mentoring small teams
• Proficiency in Yardi
• Independent, solution-oriented, and resourceful
• Energetic and adaptable, with a “roll-up-your-sleeves” attitude
• Interest in AI tools for finance/operations is a plus

WHY THIS ROLE STANDS OUT

• 100% employer-paid medical, dental & vision coverage
• 401(k) with match – immediately vested
• 3 weeks PTO + 7 paid holidays
• Family-friendly employer with flexible scheduling
• High-impact role in a collaborative, entrepreneurial environment
