At Industrious, we move fast, think big, and execute with purpose. We believe in head, heart, and hands—bringing sharp thinking, deep care, and relentless action to everything we do. We’re at an incredible inflection point where we’re ready to supercharge our growth on a global scale with the backing of CBRE. That’s where you come in.

About the Role

We’re looking for a Lease Accountant to join our high-performing Finance team during a truly transformative chapter in our company’s journey. Recently acquired by CBRE, we’re stepping into a major growth phase with expanded ambitions for how we operate and scale globally and this is an opportunity to support that growth at the ground level. This is a rare opportunity to step into a foundational role as we scale and take on enhanced reporting, cross-functional partnerships, and forward-looking planning, your work will matter more than ever—and you’ll be right at the heart of it.

As Lease Accountant, you’ll play a critical supporting role to our Accounting Manager, helping drive day-to-day accounting operations for our lease portfolio. While this is an entry-level position, the impact of your work will ripple across the organization. From reconciling accounts payable and landlord balances to recording lease entries and assisting with monthly close, you’ll help ensure our financial foundation stays strong and agile as we evolve. This is a chance to grow alongside the business and leave your fingerprint on how things are done.

You’ll be joining a tight-knit team of smart, driven professionals who operate at a high level but remain grounded, approachable, and genuinely supportive. We believe in doing great work, having fun, and getting to know the people we do it with.

If you’re someone who gets energized by the idea of building processes while doing meaningful work, and you're eager for a high-impact at-bat in your career, we’d love to meet you.
