The W.W. Reynolds Companies, based in Boulder, Colorado, is seeking a senior finance operating leader for WWR-RES. This finance-only role focuses on safeguarding financial integrity, cash planning, debt management, budgeting and reporting, and lender coordination, delivering clear, decision-ready insights to owners and operating leadership. The position is onsite and requires a deep, hands-on approach to financial operations within a real estate context.
Responsibilities
- Oversee the monthly and quarterly close process and deliverables, including property-level balance sheets, income statements, rent rolls, AR/AP aging, GL detail, budget-to-actual analyses, reconciliations, and owner-ready variance explanations.
- Establish close-calendar discipline, reconciliation standards, account ownership, approval controls, audit trails, segregation of duties, and documentation standards across the finance team.
- Own cash planning with regular visibility into cash flow, rolling forecasts, payables timing, debt-service, debt management, refinancing support, capital-expenditure needs, lender reporting, covenant tracking, and liquidity-risk escalation.
- Serve as the finance liaison to banks and lenders, coordinating decision-ready refinancing, loan, covenant, debt-management, and capital-plan materials with the CEO/Managing Partner.
- Partner with property management, leasing, development, construction/project management, CPA/tax, lenders, and ownership to connect property operations, lease activity, development projects, capital plans, budgets, and forecasted cash needs.
- Lead annual budgeting and mid-year reforecasting, including property-level budget support, operating-expense and CAM drivers, capital plans, development pro formas, lease-economics review, variance analysis, and actionable owner decision packets.
- Prepare or oversee recurring finance reviews with the CEO/Managing Partner and designated owners covering debt reports, refinancing activity, cash-flow reports, capital-expenditure reports, budget variance, lease economics, development pro formas, and material finance decisions.
- Hire, onboard, manage, and develop the Controller/Accounting Manager and additional AP/AR resources as needed; define ownership, KPIs, backup coverage, and escalation rules to ensure a resilient finance function.
- Coordinate with outside CPA/tax advisors, banks/lenders, insurance brokers, auditors, and other finance vendors so reporting, tax, audit, insurance, lender activities, refinancing, and tax-appeal deliverables are timely and decision-ready.
- Support practical reporting automation, dashboarding, workflow improvement, and selective AI/tool adoption while preserving confidentiality, control, auditability, exception handling, and human review.
- Maintain strict confidentiality and records discipline for owner, company, tenant, lender, vendor, banking, tax, and financial information.
- Review compensation issues from a finance and controls perspective, including documentation, coding, cost allocation, and escalation of unresolved governance or owner-approval issues.
- Support compensation, commission, and bonus-plan review by preparing financial analysis and escalating policy or legal questions for approval.
- Support tax appeals by coordinating financial data, valuation support, property-level reporting, outside advisor requests, and owner decision materials.
- Own financial review of leases and development projects before material owner decisions, including lease economics, TI implications, rent/CAM assumptions, development pro formas, debt impacts, and related tax considerations requiring advisor input.
Requirements
- 10+ years of progressive finance, accounting, operational finance, controller, or finance-leadership experience.
- Demonstrated experience leading finance/accounting work in real estate, property management, development, construction, family-office, multi-entity, asset-intensive, or owner-operated businesses.
- Strong command of monthly close, general ledger, reconciliations, AP/AR oversight, reporting packages, internal controls, cash management, budgeting, forecasting, and variance analysis.
- Operational finance judgment translating property operations, tenant issues, capital projects, leasing activity, and debt obligations into practical financial decisions.
- Experience managing people, building finance/accounting teams, documenting processes, setting KPIs, and improving reporting cadence and accountability.
- Ability to communicate clearly with owners, property managers, lenders, outside advisors, and cross-functional operating leaders.
- Advanced Excel and financial-modeling capability; working familiarity with accounting systems, property-management systems (e.g., Yardi), reporting tools, workflow automation, and secure use of AI-enabled tools.
- Ability to handle confidential financial, banking, owner, tenant, lender, vendor, and company information with sound judgment and discretion.
