ABOUT FRG

At Friedman Realty Group (FRG), we're not just another real estate investment firm specializing in multifamily apartments. We're a tight-knit, family-owned company that has been passionately serving our residents since 1975. We take pride in our communities, and we distinguish ourselves through our commitment to exceptional customer service, professionalism, and integrity. But what truly sets us apart is the fact that we're a team of individuals who genuinely love what we do.

As we continue to grow, we know that outstanding people are the key to our success. That's why we're seeking an Accounts Payable Specialist who shares our values and is as passionate about people, our residents, and our vision as we are.

ABOUT THE ROLE

After 6 incredible years at FRG, our Staff Accountant has made the decision to relocate closer to family. As a result, our current Accounts Payable Specialist will be transitioning into that role, and we are now searching for an exceptional individual to join our team and become part of our work family.

Are you someone who is moved by building lasting relationships, producing high-quality, detailed work, and analyzing numbers for accuracy, trends, and patterns? If so, this position has been built for you.

Under the supervision of our Staff Accountant and Controller, the Accounts Payable Specialist plays an important role in the day-to-day management of all payment cycle activities. To be successful in this role, you must be highly analytical, organized, detail-oriented, and results-focused. We offer a fun and stable environment that includes a 1-day-per-week hybrid schedule (Fridays). While we like to keep it light, we also expect precise and consistent work. Because we’re a family company with a small, tight-knit office environment, you must also be flexible and accommodating to wear multiple hats and take on whatever responsibilities may come your way. This means you also have to be great with people (our employees and vendors!). A significant portion of your time will include working within our accounting software (Entrata), and Microsoft Excel, so you must be adept at navigating various kinds of software.

We foster a team culture that thrives on excellence, efficiency, communication, and doing what's right. If you're the kind of person who embodies these qualities and can prove it, you could be a perfect fit for our team.

Here’s more of the nitty-gritty:

As an Accounts Payable Specialist, your role will be a constant blend of:

Technical and Analytical Focus – Whether it’s inputting property invoices, reviewing general ledger details, analyzing variances, or analyzing utility costs, you’ll be able to showcase your analytical and reasoning skills and provide decision-making within established systems and a clearly defined job scope.
