Accounting Manager

About Parkway Properties

Parkway Properties owns and operates a growing portfolio of express car washes throughout Alabama. We currently operate 15 locations and continue to expand through acquisitions, real estate investments, and strategic growth initiatives.

We are seeking an Accounting Manager to help build and strengthen our accounting and finance function. This position offers a unique opportunity to work directly with the CFO and gain exposure well beyond traditional accounting responsibilities, including acquisitions, debt financing, lender reporting, budgeting, forecasting, and strategic decision-making.

Position Overview

The Accounting Manager will serve as the second-in-command of the accounting function and will be responsible for owning the monthly close process, preparing financial reporting, supervising one Accounting Specialist, and helping develop scalable processes to support continued growth.

This role is ideal for a motivated accounting professional seeking a long-term growth opportunity. As the company continues to expand, there is a clear path for the right candidate to advance into a Controller position and ultimately lead the accounting function.

We are less concerned with finding someone who has seen everything before and more interested in finding someone who is intelligent, takes ownership, solves problems, and wants to grow into a leadership role.
