We deliver below market, affordable rents for our residents and above market returns for our investors.



Remote | Full-Time | Construction Accounting Experience Required

About Us

Arboreal Management is the property management arm of Great Expectations, a mission-driven real estate investment firm focused on providing affordable, innovative, and profitable housing across the Pacific Northwest. We manage a growing portfolio of multifamily and mixed-use properties and prioritize collaboration, data-driven decision-making, and community-focused service.

Our finance team is small, nimble, and committed to accurate, timely accounting that supports operational excellence and sustainable growth.

About the Role

We’re hiring an Accounting Specialist with solid experience in construction accounting to support our centralized finance operations. This is a remote position that will partner closely with project managers, property managers, and third-party vendors to ensure accurate project cost accounting, timely vendor payments, and clear financial reporting.

What You’ll Do

  • Process and code construction-related vendor invoices, subcontractor payments, and change orders in the general ledger

  • Reconcile job cost and project accounting sub-ledgers to the general ledger on a regular cadence

  • Prepare and post journal entries, including accruals, reclassifications, and project closeouts

  • Coordinate with Project Mfanagers to obtain documentation for invoices, lien waivers, and certified payroll as needed

  • Maintain and monitor construction budgets, track commitments, and report variances

  • Support month-end close activities and assist with preparing project-level and consolidated reports

  • Assist with accounts payable functions, vendor setup, and 1099 preparation related to construction vendors

  • Help improve and document accounting processes, internal controls, and systems related to job cost tracking

What You Bring

  • 3+ years of accounting experience with demonstrable work in construction or project-based accounting

  • Proficiency with job cost accounting concepts: WIP, retainage, commitments, change orders, and project closeouts

  • Experience with accounting software (e.g., QuickBooks, Sage 100/300, Viewpoint) and strong spreadsheet skills

  • Comfortable working remotely with strong written and verbal communication skills and the ability to collaborate across teams

  • High attention to detail, excellent organization, and the ability to manage multiple projects and deadlines

  • Ability to analyze variances, identify issues, and recommend corrective actions

  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or equivalent experience preferred; CPA or pursuit of certification is a plus

Compensation & Benefits

  • Professional development and career growth opportunities

  • A collaborative, mission-aligned team culture

  • Fully Remote

  • Long term engagement

We’re not a typical property management firm. We care deeply about:

  • Inclusion & Diversity – In hiring, partnerships, and how we serve communities

  • Teamwork – We succeed together

  • Data-Driven Thinking – We seek the truth and act on it

  • Challenging Convention – We question assumptions to improve outcomes
