Accountant Assistant Controller Jobs in Florida (NOW HIRING)

Description

Atrium Management Company is a fast-growing property management and development firm serving communities across Florida, Georgia and Virginia. Since 2014, we've built our reputation on high-touch service, operational excellence, and strong client & owner relationships - and were named #1 Best Place to Work in 2025 by the Orlando Business Journal! 

Due to continued growth, we're seeking an exceptional Assistant Controller to take ownership of a multifamily portfolio and play a key role in strengthening our financial operations as we scale.

The Assistant Controller will manage full-cycle accounting for a multifamily (non-HOA) property portfolio, ensuring reporting accuracy, operational efficiency, and alignment with property stakeholders. You'll be responsible for month-end close, budget inputs, reconciliations, and owner-facing reporting. The ideal candidate combines deep accounting experience with the ability to scale workflows, communicate clearly, and take ownership with minimal supervision.

This role will also lead a team of 4-7 accountants, providing guidance, training, and oversight to ensure timely and accurate reporting.

The Assistant Controller will work on-site out of our corporate headquarters in the heart of Orlando's vibrant Milk District!
