Job Description

About The Role

Seeking a qualified Chartered Accountant to lead the Property Accounting & Reporting function.

This is a hands-on leadership role responsible for running the Accounts Payable (AP), Accounts

Receivable (AR) and General Ledger (GL) teams end-to-end, owning the monthly close, and

delivering accurate, timely, and decision-ready financial reporting to leadership.

The ideal candidate combines strong technical accounting and compliance rigour with the

people-management skills to run a transaction-heavy, multi-entity real estate / Prop Tech finance

operation. You will be the single point of accountability for the integrity of the books and the

quality of financial reporting.

Key Responsibilities

Accounts Payable & Receivable Leadership

- Run the AP/AR function end-to-end — own vendor payments, invoice processing, client

billing, collections, and the full order-to-cash and procure-to-pay cycles.

- Lead, mentor and supervise the AP/AR & GL team — allocate work, set SLAs, review

output, and build capability across the team.

- Manage tenant/customer billing, lease and maintenance invoicing, security deposits, and

collections across multiple projects and enterprise clients.

- Control the vendor and contractor payment cycle, including retention, advances, work-in-

progress certification, and statutory deductions.

- Monitor ageing of receivables and payables; drive working-capital discipline and escalate

overdue and at-risk balances. Financial Reporting & Close

- Own the monthly, quarterly and annual close — ensure timely, accurate and predictable

closes with full reconciliations.

- Prepare and finalize financial statements in line with US GAAP.
- Produce decision-oriented MIS, management dashboards, cash-flow statements, budgets

and variance analysis for leadership.

- Maintain and reconcile the general ledger, bank accounts, inter-company balances and

statutory records.

- Strengthen the chart of accounts, accounting policies, and internal financial controls.





Real Estate / Prop Tech–Specific Accounting

- Project & cost accounting — maintain property-wise / entity-wise books, track

construction WIP, capitalization, and cost-to-complete.

- Manage property-wise / entity-wise books and inter-company reconciliations across the

portfolio.

- Account for CAM charges, common-area billing and recoveries for managed/commercial

spaces.

Compliance, Audit & Taxation

- Ensure accurate and timely GST accounting, input-credit (ITC) reconciliation and filings,

TDS, and other statutory compliances.

- Coordinate statutory, internal and tax audits end-to-end; act as primary liaison with

auditors, tax consultants and regulators.

- Support direct and indirect tax assessments and ensure governance hygiene across filings.

Systems & Process Improvement

- Drive automation and process improvement across AP/AR and reporting to reduce manual

effort and improve reliability.

- Own and optimize the ERP / accounting platform and reporting tools (Acumatica / Yardi).

Required Qualifications & Skills

- Chartered Accountant (CA) with 8–12 years of post-qualification experience (mandatory).
- At least 3 years leading and managing an AP/AR or core accounting team.
- Real estate, construction, Prop Tech, commercial leasing or managed-office-space

Experience Is Strongly Preferred.

- Strong working knowledge of US GAAP, GST, TDS, corporate taxation, and statutory

compliance.

- Hands-on expertise with ERP / accounting software and advanced MS Excel.
- Proven ability to manage high transaction volumes, multi-entity structures, and multi-client

billing cycles.

- Solid analytical, organizational, stakeholder-management and team-leadership skills.

What Success Looks Like

- Predictable, on-time monthly closes with clean reconciliations and audit-ready records.
- Healthy AP/AR ageing, disciplined working capital, and accurate, on-time billing and

collections.

- Reliable, decision-ready management reporting that leadership trusts.
- A capable, well-run accounting team operating to clear SLAs and controls.
