Role Description
Our client in the real estate industry is seeking a highly experienced, CPA-certified Fund Accountant to support the full spectrum of financial reporting, investor accounting, and fund operations across our growing real estate portfolio. This is a senior-level, remote position based in the Philippines, reporting directly to our Fund Controller.
The ideal candidate brings deep, hands-on experience in real estate accounting, fund-level financial reporting, external audit, and tax compliance. Above all, we are looking for someone who is exceptionally detail-oriented: a professional whose accuracy and thoroughness are defining traits, not incidental ones. Every number matters. Every reconciliation must close. Every disclosure must be correct.

Investment & Investor Accounting

Proactively identify and flag accounting, audit, or compliance issues before they become problems
Qualifications
-
CPA designation required with active license preferred
-
Minimum 5+ years of real estate accounting experience, with meaningful exposure to investment fund structures (LP, LLC, JV)

Direct audit experience, either at a public accounting firm or in an in-house audit/compliance role

Nice to Have
-
Exceptionally detail-oriented as this is our single most important trait for this role. If this doesn’t describe you at your core, this is not the right fit.
-
Self-directed and highly organized: you manage your own workload, meet deadlines without reminders, and flag issues early
-
Strong written and verbal English communication skills; comfortable interfacing directly with the US-based team
-
Analytical problem-solver who digs into discrepancies rather than working around them
-
Professional maturity and discretion in handling sensitive investor and fund data
