Controller, Kansas City Portfolio
Full-Time | Overland Park, KS | Salary, Exempt Occidental Management, Inc. is a Wichita-based commercial real estate and property management firm and we’re hiring a Controller to own the accounting and financial reporting function for our growing KC portfolio. This is a full-time, on-site role based out of our Aspiria campus management office in Overland Park, working closely with the CFO and Corporate Controller to keep the numbers behind a fast-growing portfolio accurate, timely, and audit ready.
If you’ve owned the full accounting cycle for a multi-entity real estate or construction business, this is a rare chance to help shape – and eventually grow the accounting function for an entire market while staying connected to the resources of an established company. What You Will Do

Owning the monthly close for the KC portfolio — consolidated financials, operating reports, cash flow projections, budgets, and P&L analysis that give leadership real visibility into performance.
Partnering with the CFO and Corporate Controller to execute the internal control framework across all KC real estate LLCs, flagging risks early and bringing forward solutions.
Leading annual budgeting and forecasting in collaboration with property managers and leasing agents, then tracking performance against it all year.
Running job cost accounting for active capital and construction projects — ledgers, pay applications, lender draw packages, change orders, and the audit trail (retainage, lien waivers, subcontractor compliance) that comes with them.
Managing project-level cash flow to keep draws funded, liquidity protected, and margins on target.
Operating as a true member of the broader accounting team, and laying the groundwork — processes, documentation, eventually a small team — for the KC portfolio’s continued growth.

What You Will Bring

8+ years of progressive, in-house accounting experience, with a track record owning the full close, reporting, and control environment for a privately held company.
3+ years directly managing a small accounting team — hiring, coaching, performance reviews, and accountability for the team’s work.
Bachelor’s degree in accounting.
Working knowledge of project/job cost accounting — percentage-of-completion methods, AIA-style billing (G702/G703), and lender draw requirements.
Experience with multi-tenant commercial property, hotel, or shopping center accounting is a strong plus.
Valid driver’s license and insurable driving record for occasional travel to corporate offices in Wichita.
