Real Estate Controller — Award-Winning Pittsburgh Company

At HomeBuyers of Pittsburgh, we're in the people business as much as the real estate business. Since 2015, we've grown from two partners to a team of 30, helped over 1,100 local families sell their homes, and been recognized along the way by TribLive's Best of the Best Real Estate Companies and the Pittsburgh Business Times' Best Places to Work.

We're vertically integrated across every side of the business. We give agents the tools, training, and culture to close more deals and actually love the work. On the investment side, we've built a 300+ door rental portfolio with our own construction and property management teams renovating and maintaining every one of them. We're on our way to 500.

Our mission is simple: help people win in real estate — whether that's selling a house, building a portfolio, or launching a career. But how we do it matters just as much. We live these every day:

  • Believe in Yourself, Your Team, and the Process

  • Over-Deliver for Our Customers

  • Be a Problem Solver, Take Initiative

  • No Bad Attitudes, Good Vibes Only

  • Collaboration Over Competition

  • Keep Learning and Improving

  • Always Do the Right Thing

The seat. The foundation is already built — systems in place, processes documented, books clean. What we need is someone to run them sharper and faster as we scale.

You'll own the close across every entity we operate, deepen the reporting our leaders actually make decisions with, and raise financial awareness across every department. You'll have direct access to ownership, a real playbook to build on, and a clear runway to Director of Finance.

If you've spent your career closing books for other people's companies, or you're the strongest accountant in a department where the next seat isn't opening any time soon — this is your jump.

To apply, you'll complete a short Google Form and submit a 1–3 minute video introducing yourself, your experience, and why you're excited about this seat. We're looking forward to meeting you.

  • Run the monthly, quarterly, and annual close across five companies — acquisitions, construction, property management, our rental portfolio, and the brokerage.
  • Reconcile roughly 40 bank and lender accounts every month and deliver clean P&Ls, balance sheets, and cash flow statements inside a tight close window.
  • Build the cash forecasting and scenario modeling behind our acquisition, refinance, and construction draw decisions.
  • Own accounts payable end to end, including a two-step review and approval process across vendor and subcontractor spend.
  • Handle intercompany transactions, allocations, and eliminations, and run bi-weekly payroll for our office team and construction crews.
  • Assemble lender packages and refinance documentation, track covenant and reporting requirements, and coordinate year end with our outside CPA.
  • Keep us clean on the compliance work this business actually generates — subcontractor 1099s, security deposit accounting, entity filings, and local tax obligations.
  • Sit with department leaders on budgets, job costing, and scorecards, hold them accountable to the plan, and make the numbers make sense to people who don't speak finance.
  • Find the friction in our close and kill it. You'll inherit documented processes; we expect you to make them faster than you found them.
  • Experience in financial operations within the real estate industry, particularly in acquisitions, construction, and property management.
  • Proven track record of managing monthly, quarterly, and annual financial closes for multiple entities.
  • Ability to reconcile numerous bank and lender accounts and deliver accurate financial statements promptly.
  • Expertise in cash forecasting, scenario modeling, and strategic financial decision-making.
  • Strong skills in overseeing accounts payable processes, ensuring accuracy and compliance.
  • Experience managing intercompany transactions, allocations, and payroll for diverse teams.
  • Proficiency in preparing lender packages, refinance documentation, and comprehensive portfolio reporting.

Compensation

$105,000 - $140,000 yearly

We are the Home Buyers of Pittsburgh, a locally owned company that started in 2015 when two partners, Ryan Scialabba and Aaron Archibald, decided to join forces.

For five years running, we've won TRIB Live's Best of the Best Real Estate Companies, PBT Best Places to Work 2x, and in 2020, we ranked #541 on the INC. 5000 list. In 2019, we won #1 Fastest Growing Company in Pittsburgh on the PITTSBURGH FAST 50 List and landed at #747 on the INC. 5000 List.
