• Familiarity with bank loans, property taxes, NNN expenses, and U.S. tax fundamentals.

• Experience with U.S. tax returns (real estate partnerships, LLCs, and consolidated filings).

• Excellent English communication skills, both written and verbal, for coordination with the CEO, auditors, and external professionals.

• Advanced Excel skills, including complex formulas, pivot tables, and financial modeling.

• Experience with property management and accounting software (e.g., Yardi, AppFolio, MRI, RealPage, or similar).

• Ability to work independently and deliver accurate, audit-ready results under tight deadlines.
