About This Role
This is a hands-on accounting position within a real estate developer, where you will be managing the financial records of property projects and construction activities rather than working in a generalized corporate finance function. The company operates in a sector where costs are project-based, cash flows are irregular, and financial accuracy directly affects project viability. It suits an accountant who understands how construction timelines and property transactions shape financial reporting, and who can work with minimal supervision in a mid-sized firm.
What the Requirements Say About This Role
The emphasis on construction and real estate experience signals that the employer needs someone who already understands project-based cost tracking, contractor payments, and the accounting treatment of work-in-progress assets — not someone who will learn on the job. The specific mention of Peachtree alongside Excel indicates the finance function is small enough that one person handles both bookkeeping and reporting, so comfort with manual data work and spreadsheet analysis is assumed. Requiring three or more years suggests they want someone past the training phase who can take ownership of day-to-day financial operations without hand-holding.
How to Approach This Application
Lead with concrete examples of real estate or construction accounting work you have done — project cost reports you prepared, reconciliations you managed, or tax filings you handled for property-related entities. Since applications go to a personal email address rather than a corporate HR system, your email subject line and cover note should be clean and professional, clearly stating the position you are applying for. Mention your proficiency with Peachtree explicitly with context, such as how long you have used it and in what capacity, because this is clearly a practical filter for them.
Who This Role Suits
Best suited for an accountant with direct real estate or construction exposure who wants a stable, mid-level role in a private developer; competition is likely moderate, and candidates without sector-specific experience will struggle to stand out.

- Knowledge of financial statements, bank reconciliations, and tax regulations.
