About The Role
We are seeking a Senior Portfolio Accountant, Reporting & Compliance to join our growing team at Solar Landscape. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys taking full ownership of their work, thrives in a fast-paced environment, and wants to contribute to a mission-driven renewable energy company.

- Calculate debt service, partner and investor distributions, and cash waterfalls in line with credit agreements and partnership and operating agreements.
- Maintain and reconcile partner and member capital accounts, including contributions, distributions, and allocations of income and loss.
- Prepare work papers, schedules, and support for external auditors, and meet quarterly and annual reporting obligations to outside parties.
