About the Role
We're looking for a hands-on accountant who ideally has been the number two on a monthly close and an annual audit, and who is ready to step up. You'll own the close, work directly with our auditors, and help us rebuild our accounting workflows around AI and automation. You'll report to the SVP, Head of Finance.
Why CompStak
CompStak is the leading crowdsourced data platform for commercial real estate, giving brokers, appraisers, and institutional investors access to lease and sale comp data they can't get anywhere else. As CRE increasingly shifts from relationship-driven guesswork to data-backed decision-making, CompStak sits at the center of that shift, and we're investing heavily in our New Business team to capture it. Joining now means getting in early on that growth, with real ownership over your territory and a direct line to shaping how the team scales.
