About WWR-RES

WWR-RES manages a substantial commercial real estate portfolio and creates value through cheerful, innovative, and sustainable real estate practices. The finance function is being rebuilt to improve reporting speed, reporting quality, accounting continuity, cash visibility, financial controls, and proactive owner-facing decision support.

Position Summary

The Head of Finance will be WWR-RES's senior finance operating leader. The role owns financial integrity, cash planning, debt management, refinancing and lender coordination, budgeting and reforecasting discipline, reconciliations, financial controls, lease economics, development pro formas, tax appeals, finance-team structure, CPA coordination, monthly reporting, and decision-ready reporting for owners and operating leaders. The role is finance-only. It does not include HR ownership, benefits administration, employment-law compliance, recruiting administration, or personnel policy administration, except for finance controls and reporting related to payroll expense, headcount cost data, approved compensation-plan review, and related financial analysis.

Primary Responsibilities

· Lead the monthly and quarterly financial reporting cadence, including property-level balance sheets, income statements, rent rolls, AR aging, AP aging, general-ledger detail, budget-to-actual reporting, reconciliations, and owner-ready variance explanations.

· Establish and enforce close-calendar discipline, reconciliation standards, account ownership, approval controls, audit trails, segregation-of-duties expectations, and documentation standards across the finance/accounting team.

· Own cash planning and regular cash-flow visibility, including rolling cash forecasts, payables timing, debt-service visibility, debt management, refinancing support, capital-expenditure needs, lender reporting, covenant tracking, and liquidity-risk escalation.

· Serve as the primary finance liaison to banks and lenders and coordinate decision-ready refinancing, loan, covenant, debt-management, and capital-plan materials.

· Partner with property management, leasing, development, construction/project management, CPA/tax, lenders, and ownership to connect property operations, lease activity, development projects, capital plans, budgets, and forecasted cash needs.

· Lead annual budgeting and mid-year reforecasting, including property-level budget support, operating-expense and CAM drivers, capital plans, development pro formas, lease-economics review, variance analysis, and actionable owner decision packets.

· Prepare or oversee recurring finance reviews with Bill and designated owners covering debt reports, refinancing activity, cash-flow reports, capital-expenditure reports, budget variance, lease economics, development pro formas, and material finance decisions.

· Hire, onboard, manage, and develop the Controller / Accounting Manager and AP/AR resources; define seat ownership, KPIs, backup coverage, and escalation rules so the department is resilient and not person-dependent.

· Coordinate with outside CPA/tax advisors, banks/lenders, insurance brokers, auditors, and other finance vendors so reporting, tax, audit, insurance, lender, refinancing, and tax-appeal deliverables are timely and decision-ready.

· Support practical reporting automation, dashboarding, workflow improvement, and AI/tool adoption only where confidentiality, control, auditability, exception handling, and human review are preserved.

· Maintain strict confidentiality and records discipline for owner, company, tenant, lender, vendor, banking, tax, and financial information.

· Review compensation from a finance and controls perspective, including documentation, coding, cost allocation, and escalation of unresolved legal, tax, governance, or owner-approval issues.

· Support compensation, commission, and bonus plan review by preparing financial analysis, identifying overlap among salary, bonus, commissions, guaranteed payments, distributions, and related-party compensation, and escalating policy or legal questions for approval.

· Support tax appeals by coordinating financial data, valuation support, property-level reporting, outside advisor requests, and owner decision materials.

· Own financial review of leases and development projects before material owner decisions, including lease economics, tenant improvement implications, rent/CAM assumptions, development pro formas, debt impacts, tax implications requiring advisor input, and risk escalation.

Required Qualifications

· 10+ years of progressive finance, accounting, operational finance, controller, or finance-leadership experience.

· Demonstrated experience leading finance/accounting work in real estate, property management, development, construction, family-office, multi-entity, asset-intensive, or owner-operated businesses.

· Strong command of monthly close, general ledger, reconciliations, AP/AR oversight, reporting packages, internal controls, cash management, budgeting, forecasting, and variance analysis.

· Operational finance judgment, including ability to translate property operations, tenant issues, capital projects, leasing activity, and debt obligations into practical financial decisions.

· Experience managing people, building finance/accounting teams, documenting processes, setting KPIs, and improving reporting cadence and accountability.

· Ability to communicate clearly with owners, property managers, lenders, outside advisors, and cross-functional operating leaders.

· Advanced Excel and financial-modeling capability; working familiarity with accounting systems, property-management systems, reporting tools, workflow automation, and secure use of AI-enabled tools.

· Ability to handle confidential financial, banking, owner, tenant, lender, vendor, and company information with sound judgment and discretion.

Preferred Background

· Commercial real estate, property-management, development, construction, or family-office finance experience.

· Yardi or comparable real estate accounting/property-management system experience.

· Experience with debt reporting, lender relationships, refinancing support, covenant tracking, capital-expenditure analysis, lease economics, development pro formas, tax appeals, JV or ownership-interest reporting, and owner-facing financial packets.

· CPA, CMA, MBA, or public accounting background preferred but not required if equivalent finance leadership and operational experience are present.

· Experience improving finance processes after transition, turnover, growth, new joint ventures, or multi-entity reporting expansion.

Compensation and Benefits

· Base salary range: $200,000-$250,000 per year, depending on depth of finance leadership, operational finance experience, commercial real estate/property accounting background, cash/debt/capital planning experience, refinancing/lender experience, systems capability, controls experience, and team-leadership experience.

· Potential performance-based annual bonus opportunity: 10%-15% of base salary, subject to plan terms, company approval, and achievement of pre-set objectives. No bonus is guaranteed.

· Benefits consistent with WWR-RES plans for this level, including medical, dental, and vision coverage; retirement plan participation; paid holidays; PTO/vacation benefits; paid sick leave under applicable law; and other standard company benefits, subject to plan documents and eligibility rules.

· Reasonable business expenses, approved professional development, required systems/tools, and role-related continuing education may be provided or reimbursed under company policy.

Work Location and Schedule

· Primarily in-office in Boulder County during onboarding, transition, finance-team stabilization, and recurring owner/operating-leader meetings.

· After onboarding and satisfactory performance/reporting cadence, 1-2 remote days per week may be considered, subject to business needs, confidentiality, finance deadlines, and owner approval.

· Periodic additional hours may be required around month-end close, quarterly reporting, annual budgeting, mid-year reforecasting, debt/lender deadlines, tax/audit support, capital planning, or urgent financial matters.
