VP of Finance

Gray Capital LLC • Indianapolis, IN

3d

About The Position

Gray Capital is a multifamily owner-operator with a growing portfolio of communities across the Midwest. We manage our properties directly, which means our finance function sits at the intersection of corporate finance, real estate operations, investor reporting, and day-to-day property performance. We're looking for a VP of Finance to lead that function — someone with deep real estate finance and accounting experience, strong leadership ability, and the judgment to help ownership make better decisions across the portfolio.
This is a senior leadership hire. The person in this role will have visibility into every dollar moving through the business, a direct line to ownership, and a meaningful voice in how we measure performance, allocate capital, manage risk, and scale the company.
What this role actually is:
You'll oversee the finance and accounting function for Gray Residential — both at the corporate level and across our property management portfolio. That means leading financial reporting across multiple entities, managing the month-end close process, overseeing AP, AR, cash management, budgeting, forecasting, owner and investor reporting, lender reporting, and ensuring our financials are accurate, timely, and useful.
On the property management side, you'll work closely with our RealPage-based workflows — general ledger, accounts payable, bank reconciliations, budget variance reporting, and property-level financial performance. You'll partner with regional and operations teams to make sure property-level financials reflect reality, that variances are understood, and that operating decisions are grounded in clean data.
On the corporate and ownership side, you'll manage entity-level reporting across our LLC structure, coordinate with outside tax advisors and lenders, support investor reporting and capital account tracking, lead budgeting and forecasting, and help ownership evaluate portfolio strategy, capital planning, refinancings, acquisitions, dispositions, and major business decisions.
You'll report directly to ownership and be the senior finance voice in the organization.

Requirements

• Deep real estate finance and accounting experience.
• Strong leadership ability.

• Ability to produce reporting for owners, lenders, and investors.
• Ability to own the numbers and use them to drive decisions.
• Ability to move between accounting accuracy, portfolio performance, cash flow, capital planning, forecasting, and strategic analysis.
• Experience leading a team.
• Comfort with purpose-built real estate accounting platforms, Excel-based analysis, budgeting tools, and reporting workflows.
• Ability to improve systems rather than simply work around them.
• Organized and deadline-driven.
• Ability to communicate financial information clearly to non-finance professionals.
• 10+ years of finance, accounting, or real estate investment experience.
• At least 5 years in a leadership or senior finance role.
