Property Accounting Manager

Be a part of Leading and Building a Growing Commercial Property Accounting Team

Your New Employer

Our client is a well-established real estate investment and operating company headquartered in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Through the recent acquisition of a significant commercial real estate platform, the organization has expanded its portfolio to include office, retail, industrial, hospitality, residential, mixed-use, data centre, and parking assets across Canada.

As an active owner and operator, the company is committed to creating long-term value through disciplined investment, operational excellence, and hands‑on asset management. With a growing portfolio and an expanding Halifax‑based finance team, the organization is investing in a scalable property accounting function to support continued growth over the coming years.

Operating in a collaborative, entrepreneurial environment, the business values initiative, accountability, and continuous improvement. This is an exceptional opportunity to join a leadership team where you’ll influence the future of the finance function while working closely with senior leaders across Finance, Asset Management, Property Management, Leasing, and Operations.

Your New Role

As the Manager, Property Accounting, you will lead the accounting and financial reporting activities for a growing portfolio of commercial real estate assets while managing and developing a team of Property Accountants.

Reporting to the Vice President, Accounting, you will oversee monthly financial reporting, budgeting, forecasting, tenant recoveries, lease accounting, capital expenditure accounting, and portfolio performance analysis across multiple commercial asset classes. You’ll ensure the integrity of financial reporting while partnering closely with operational leaders to provide meaningful insights that support business decisions.

Beyond portfolio oversight, you’ll play a key leadership role in developing people, improving processes, enhancing financial controls, and supporting the continued integration and growth of the commercial real estate platform. From mentoring team members to helping implement scalable accounting practices and supporting acquisitions, dispositions, and system improvements, this role offers the opportunity to make a lasting impact on a growing organization.

This is an outstanding opportunity for an experienced commercial property accounting professional who enjoys balancing leadership, technical accounting, and strategic business partnership in a fast‑paced, growth‑oriented environment.

What Sets You Apart

You are an experienced commercial property accounting professional who enjoys developing people, improving processes, and helping businesses grow. You bring approximately six or more years of progressive accounting experience, including several years supporting commercial real estate portfolios and previous leadership or supervisory experience.

You have a strong understanding of commercial property accounting, including financial reporting, budgeting, forecasting, CAM reconciliations, tenant recoveries, lease accounting, and capital project accounting. Experience with office, retail, industrial, or mixed‑use assets is highly valued.

You are highly proficient in Excel and have experience working with Yardi Voyager or another commercial property accounting platform. More importantly, you are a collaborative leader who enjoys coaching others, building relationships across the business, and helping create scalable processes that support long‑term growth.

What You Can Expect

This is far more than a traditional Property Accounting Manager opportunity. You’ll join an organization at an exciting stage of growth, where you’ll play a key role in shaping the future of the property accounting function while working alongside an experienced executive leadership team.

You’ll have the opportunity to influence financial processes, mentor and develop a growing team, support portfolio integration, and contribute to strategic initiatives that will directly impact the organization’s continued success. Operating in a collaborative, entrepreneurial environment, you’ll be empowered to take ownership, drive continuous improvement, and help shape the future of a growing real estate platform.

The organization offers a competitive total rewards package, including performance‑based incentives, comprehensive health and wellness benefits, professional development support, and opportunities for continued career growth. Beyond compensation, you’ll join a culture where initiative is valued, leadership is accessible, and employees are encouraged to make a meaningful impact as the business continues to grow.

This is a full‑time, on‑site position based in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
