[Hiring] Vice President of Finance & Accounting @52Ten

Role Description

As 52TEN continues to scale its national portfolio of manufactured housing communities, the VP of Finance & Accounting will play a critical leadership role in ensuring the company’s financial infrastructure is accurate, scalable, and institutional-grade. This role owns the finance and accounting function, serving as the senior financial leader within the organization and partnering closely with ownership on financial strategy, reporting, and decision-making.

• Own and lead the finance and accounting function across a multi-entity real estate portfolio.
• Serve as the primary financial leader, providing insights and guidance to ownership and department leaders.
• Own the integrity and reliability of financial reporting in accordance with GAAP.
• Own balance sheet integrity, ensuring all accounts are reconciled and supported.

The VP will lead and build the finance function, driving month- and year-end close processes to GAAP standards while ensuring investor distributions, payroll, and financial reporting are executed with absolute accuracy. This individual will also build and refine systems, processes, and team structure to support a rapidly expanding portfolio, while serving as a key contributor to the company’s leadership team and EOS operating cadence.

The ideal candidate is a hands-on finance leader who can operate at both a strategic and execution level. They thrive in high-growth environments, take full ownership of the finance function, and are equally comfortable executing in the details while building scalable systems, teams, and processes.

This role requires a leader who can balance execution and development — stepping into the details where needed, helping complete the work, and at the same time building, training, and elevating the team while strengthening processes and maintaining performance.

This role owns the finance function today and will help shape its evolution as the company scales, with the potential to grow into a CFO-level position over time.
