• Prepare and file sales tax and manage related compliance
• Accurately record and reconcile complex, high-volume transactions in QuickBooks
• Support property and rental accounting across the company's real estate holdings and active projects
• Partner with the company's outside CPA on year-end close, reporting, and tax preparation
• Provide general administrative support around the office as needed in a small-team environment
