Rethink Where You’re Building Your Success

You’ve built a career in commercial real estate because you love the challenge — the relationships, the strategy, and the satisfaction of getting deals done. But even with talent and drive, it’s possible to feel constrained: limited by structure, culture, or compensation that doesn’t reflect your value.

Imagine working within a brokerage that recognizes potential, rewards performance, and gives you the space to operate at your best.

The Opportunity

My client — a respected, independent commercial and residential real estate brokerage — is seeking motivated professionals at the junior, mid, or senior level who are ready to elevate their business in an environment built on trust, autonomy, and results.

The firm offers an 80/20 commission split, no desk fees, and practical infrastructure including marketing, legal, accounting, and basic signage support. You’ll have the flexibility to work in-office, remotely, or through a hybrid model — whatever enables you to perform at your highest level while maintaining balance in your life.

The Environment

This brokerage has deliberately cultivated a transparent, collegial, and low-drama culture where collaboration and professionalism thrive. The team is close-knit but not cliquish; supportive without being controlling.

At its core is a charismatic, approachable leader — someone who has built a reputation for generosity, mentorship, and integrity. The tone is confident yet humble; success is shared, and contribution is recognized.

What You’ll Find Here

• A structure that rewards output and effort, not politics.
• Freedom to define your approach — backed by resources that make execution easier.
• Genuine leadership support and mentorship without micromanagement.
• A collaborative team dynamic that values good energy and strong ethics.
• Flexibility to design your work environment and rhythm.

What You Bring

• A valid RECA license and experience in any commercial real estate discipline — office, industrial, investment, or multifamily or a residential.
• A genuine desire to build or scale your business with focus and integrity.
• Resourcefulness, curiosity, and resilience.
• The motivation to reach your full potential in an environment that rewards both effort and attitude.

If you’ve been considering a change — not because you’ve lost passion for the industry, but because you want the right platform to perform — this is worth exploring.

Confidentiality & Inclusion

We recognize the discretion required when exploring a move. All inquiries will remain strictly confidential.My client is committed to cultivating an inclusive and diverse workplace where people can succeed on merit, authenticity, and purpose.

Only candidates legally able to work in Canada and holding a valid RECA license will be considered. AVID EXEC appreciates all interest and will retain qualified profiles for future opportunities.

Lead the numbers that power places.

The Snapshot

You’re a builder of clarity. You see the story behind the statements, the timing behind the transactions, and the people behind the processes. In this role, you’ll own the accounting operations, including managing cash flow and the full accounting cadence for a commercial & multi-family real estate portfolio — guiding the day-to-day efforts and reporting so operations can move with confidence.

This is a confidential search on behalf of a privately owned company with an entrepreneurial pace and an intelligent, engaged team. You’ll partner closely with the executive, lead a small high-performing group, and bring both collaboration and autonomous leadership to the table.

Imagine Yourself Here

It’s Monday 9:00am. You’ve already scanned the weekend collections, verified key receipts, and refreshed the 13-week cash flow so Property Ops and the leadership can prioritize vendor releases and capital items. By noon, you’ve met with your team, aligned AP/AR timing with leasing realities, flagged a covenant head-room update, and cleared a construction draw with tidy backup. Month-end hits? Your team is calm because process beats panic — schedules are tight, consolidations are crisp, and variance explanations are decision-ready, not just audit-ready.

What You’ll Lead (and Improve)

Cash Flow Mastery: Daily/weekly 13-week forecasting; collections pulse; release cadence for AP; proactive lender/covenant visibility.

Receivables Discipline: Rent roll integrity, AR aging and recovery plans, move-ins/outs, security deposit handling, and applied cash accuracy.

Payables with Purpose: Clear approval matrices, vendor terms optimization, and weekly pay runs aligned to cash priorities and operational timing.

Month-End & Reporting: Full-cycle close for income properties, development, consolidations, KPIs, and reporting packs that tell the “so what.”

Property Fundamentals: CAM/tax recoveries, operating/capital budgeting, insurance and property tax workflows, financing schedules, and lender packages.

Development: Project cost tracking, draws, Work-in-Progress, holdbacks, and job-to-date reporting—enough to keep pace and manage any budget or timing surprises.

Controls & Compliance: Policies that actually get used; balance sheet hygiene; audit readiness; credit and background standards.

Systems & Data: Champion Yardi, streamline integrations, build simple dashboards in Excel.

Team Leadership: Coach and mentor a capable, compact team — clear roles, cross-training, predictable calendars, and room to grow.

Partnering Up: Be the right hand to the executive — bring options, scenarios, and straight talk.

How You Think & Operate

Resourceful by default. You don’t stall—if the answer isn’t in-house, you seek external advice (auditors, tax, lenders, tech, peers) to move things forward.

We vs. I. You model leadership vulnerability—ask the clarifying question, share context, give credit, own outcomes.

Calm under deadlines. You create rhythm (close calendars, cash huddles, lender beats) so the team isn’t living in urgency.

Builder’s mindset. Better every quarter: shorter close, cleaner schedules, fewer exceptions, clearer dashboards.

Always aware. You connect cash timing to leasing, renewals, payables, payroll, ops priorities, and tenant experience.

What You Bring

Background: Real estate (commercial/multi-family), property management, with possible exposure to development.

Technical Depth: Full-cycle accounting, consolidations, CAM/tax recs, budgeting/forecasting, lender and partner reporting.

Cash Flow Focus: Proven ownership of AP/AR timing and 13-week cash forecasting in a multi-entity environment.

Systems: Yardi (ideal) or other similar; strong Excel; bonus for use of any other reporting tools.

Leadership: Experience guiding a small team; setting standards, mentoring, and holding a kind, firm line.

Credentials: CPA preferred (not required); relevant post-secondary education, solid performance track record.

Style: Collaborative partner to executives with the confidence to work autonomously and bring solutions/ideas for improvement.

Why This Role

Impact with access. Direct line to decision-makers; your work changes daily choices on the ground.

Private & entrepreneurial. Fewer handoffs, faster cycles, less bureaucracy, clear ownership.

Recognition of your value:  Work for an owner who wants to develop mutual trust, sees your value and authentically appreciates you on a daily basis.

Compensation: Competitive six-figure package with benefits from day one, paid professional fees/licenses, parking, and thoughtful perks.

Work style: In-office, Edmonton—built for collaboration, quick problem-solving, and a supportive, family-flexible culture.

The Fine Print

Must be legally eligible to work in Canada.

Standard pre-employment checks (references, credit/security appropriate to a finance leadership role).

BUILD LEGACY, DRIVE INNOVATION, SHAPE THE FUTURE

What if the next chapter of your career wasn’t just a job — but a chance to invent, evolve and leave behind something that matters?

My client is a growing and innovative engineering group based in Edmonton (southeast central location), with a strong focus on the energy sector, particularly in the heavy oil space — both above and below ground. The company offers an entrepreneurial, mid-sized culture that is highly multidisciplinary, bringing together some of the best talent in the industry.

THE COMPANY

· It is a place where people are not only experts in their fields but also deeply engaged in their work and genuinely enjoy collaborating with one another.

· They work in close partnership companies and universities and lead cutting-edge industry research that has the potential to be true game changers.

· Their technologies often leverage low- to medium-voltage solutions integrated with solar, wind, and electricity to deliver safer, more efficient, and more sustainable ways of doing business.

· The company operates several dedicated on-site facilities that support diverse types of research, design, and testing — giving engineers the opportunity to not only build solutions but also validate and refine them in real-world conditions.

SNAP SHOT – LEAD ELECTRICAL ENGINEER (P.Eng)

· We’re not looking for someone to simply “fill a role.” At the heart of it, you are an inventor, a collaborator, and thought leader who thrives at the intersection of autonomy, curiosity, and purpose.

· You love the joy of solving hard problems –  following the idea from inception to use.

·  You enjoy partnering with end-users, and creating sustainable technologies that will continue to evolve through your work and that of future generations.

· This role is primarily onsite, offering office and lab-based areas, offering you a balance of technical depth and professional stability.

· You are the kind of person who “tinkers”, builds, and dreams on the weekends — who believes work should be both fun and meaningful — this is your chance to shape technologies that push the industry forward toward safer, smarter, and more sustainable solutions.

· You are mid-career but feeling that you are not able to fully apply your skills and purpose or you could have 5 or so years left and want to “play” and be part of something revolutionary in a less bureaucratic more integrated environment that has a direct and collaborative pipeline to other company leaders and the President.

· Ideally you live in the Edmonton area and hold a current Professional Engineering designation and are in good standing with APEGGA.

WHY THIS ROLE DIFFERENT

Autonomy with Purpose: Freedom to innovate and push the envelope within a vertically integrated culture that values bold ideas.

Collaboration at Its Best: Work with interdisciplinary teams where every idea is valued and contributes to breakthrough outcomes.

Be Seen & Heard: Become an internal and external expert — author and present your findings, be recognized as a leader in your field.

Work Joy & Legacy: This is about building technologies that will outlast your career and set a foundation for the next generation.

Mentoring & Leadership: This role provides a clear pathway into a senior-level opportunity with succession potential. You will mentor a junior team member while also serving as a role model and resource for indirect reports. At the same time, you will receive strong support and mentorship yourself as you onboard and establish your footing in the role.

YOUR PROFILE

· You are a curious problem-solver who loves the blend of hands-on engineering and strategic big-picture thinking.

· Someone who thrives on project management from start to finish — from design to commissioning and beyond.

· You are solid communicator who possesses a strong acumen for listening, addressing challenges and engaging – always working towards building authentic and mutually-trusting partnerships with clients, leaders and your peers.

· A lifelong learner who enjoys exploring new ideas, playing with technology, and keeping fresh so your ideas stay forward-thinking.

· An individual with a wide skill set, excited by the chance to idea generate, “play”, invent, and research – creating quality, precision, and impact.

YOUR CONTRIBUTION

· Design and build medium-voltage electrical systems for next-generation downhole electric heating technologies.

· Work with, evolve and become an expert with already existing proprietary technologies.

· Program and maintain PLC and control system software that keeps operations precise and safe.

· Invent, test, commission, and troubleshoot innovative systems — and provide technical guidance to clients and field teams.

· Lead projects end-to-end, from technical proposals to QA/QC to delivery.

· Be a voice for sustainability — guiding electrification, efficiency, and safety improvements in emerging technologies.

WHY YOU WILL FIND WORK JOY

· You’ll be surrounded by like-minded multidisciplinary innovators who are just as curious, communicative, smart and inventive as you are.

· You’ll work in an environment where you are seen, recognized and where being happy at work matters — where quality, team and fun go hand-in-hand.

· You’ll have the space to continue or finish your career at the top of your game, with work that defines both your present and your legacy.

Are you someone who finds joy in clarity, order, and purpose? Do you enjoy rolling up your sleeves to make accounting processes smarter and cleaner, while working with people who actually care about what they do?

My client is a privately held, multi-company real estate group in Edmonton that operates across the Commercial, Multi-Family Rental, and Condominium sectors. This group has built its success on long-term relationships, integrity, and steady growth and they’re now looking for a Property Accountant (Edmonton, AB)  to help them take their accounting function to the next level.

This isn’t just about maintaining the books. It’s about owning the numbers, improving the process and knowing that your work matters – because it directly supports the places people live, work, and invest in.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Long-term stability with a company that’s continuing to grow
• Career progression aligned with company expansion
• Fees, licences, and ongoing professional development supported
• Company-paid, covered/underground parking
• Easy access to major transit routes
• Friendly, collaborative office where ideas and contributions are noticed
• Half-day Fridays—because life outside of work matters too

What You’ll Be Doing

You’ll take the lead on full-cycle accounting for a diverse portfolio of residential, commercial, and condo properties. That includes:

• Preparing monthly financials, bank reconciliations and budget tracking
• Managing rent rolls, payables, receivables and tenant chargebacks
• Supporting budgeting for operations and capital projects
• Collaborating with property managers to align finances with real-world needs
• Refining bookkeeping processes to improve flow, accuracy and accountability
• Communicating with internal and external parties

This is an opportunity to bring order, insight, and efficiency to the numbers – making a real difference behind the scenes.

We’re Looking for Someone Who:

• Has a diploma or degree in Accounting or Finance OR proven experience in a similar property management accounting role
• Brings at least 3 years of experience in property management accounting with exposure to Condo, Rental and/or Commercial portfolios
• Is comfortable working independently with full-cycle accounting
• Is familiar and knowledgable with Excel
• Has experience with Buildium Accocunting Software (a bonus, not a must!) or offers exposure to other property accounting software
• Thrives in a collaborative, privately held company where people matter
• Enjoys being part of a team that celebrates both productivity and purpose
