Job Information
Robert Half Senior Accountant in San Mateo, California
Description
Senior Accountant – Family Office & Real Estate Fund Accounting
? San Francisco (Hybrid)
? $100K – $130K + Bonus
Not all accounting roles are created equal.
Some keep you in a lane.
Others give you a front-row seat to how investments are actually built, managed, and grown.
This is the latter.
We’re partnering with a highly entrepreneurial real estate investment firm focused on transforming underutilized assets into high-performing properties across supply-constrained markets. With a hands-on approach and strong track record, the team operates at the intersection of real estate, private equity, and family office investing.
They’re now hiring a Senior Accountant who wants more than just month-end close—someone who’s looking to expand their skillset, gain real exposure, and grow into an Accounting Manager.
What You’ll Be Doing
Support real estate and fund accounting across acquisitions, dispositions, and ongoing operations
Assist with capital activity, investor reporting, and fund-level accounting
Manage family office entities, including cash tracking and financial reporting
Analyze property-level performance and expenses
Contribute to process improvements, system implementations, and special projects
Partner cross-functionally with asset management, operations, and external advisors (audit, tax, legal)
Why This Role Stands Out
Broad exposure across real estate, private equity, and family office structures
Direct mentorship from experienced leadership (Controller & Assistant Controller)
High-impact environment where you’ll wear multiple hats and influence outcomes
Clear path to Accounting Manager with increasing ownership
No two days look the same—this is a role for someone who enjoys variety and challenge
Requirements
What They’re Looking For
2–5+ years of accounting experience (real estate, fund accounting, or public accounting preferred)
Strong grasp of GAAP and financial reporting
Advanced Excel skills; exposure to Yardi or QuickBooks is a plus
Detail-oriented, organized, and naturally curious
Strong communicator who thrives in a collaborative environment
Benefits
Competitive compensation + bonus
401(k) with company match
Full medical, dental, and vision coverage
Paid time off
Daily lunch provided
Who This Is Perfect For
Someone who:
Wants to grow into leadership
Enjoys solving problems and taking ownership
Thrives in a fast-moving, entrepreneurial environment
Is ready to step into a role with real visibility and impact
