About the Company
We are a rapidly growing U.S.-based cost segregation firm helping real estate owners accelerate depreciation, reduce their tax burden, and free up cash flow. To date we have helped clients save more than $1.5 billion in taxes across 15,000+ properties in all 50 states.
We have modernized what has traditionally been a slow, expensive process. Using technology clients already carry in their pocket, we conduct virtual site visits instead of costly on-site travel, which lets us deliver faster, more affordable studies without sacrificing engineering quality. Every study is performed by experienced engineers, backed by audit support at no additional cost, and delivered alongside a fixed asset schedule that makes the client's CPA's job easier.
Our clients range from individual short-term rental owners to owners of warehouses, hotels, apartment complexes, and commercial portfolios, along with the CPAs who advise them. We move quickly, hold a high standard for accuracy, and treat the client relationship as the core of the business.
About the Role
We are scaling our Account Management team, and this hire exists to own the commercial and client relationship across a significant part of the client journey.This is a quota-carrying sales role with significant responsibility for both conversion and the ongoing client experience.
You are the consultative face of the company to U.S. real estate investors and their accountants.From the first sales conversation through handoff and the broader client journey, you remain accountable for the commercial relationship while partnering with Customer Success, Engineering, and Operations to deliver the right client outcome.This is not a reactive, order-taking role. You are trusted to run discovery, understand what the client actually needs, position a technical financial product in plain language, and coordinate the internal teams who deliver it.
The environment is fast-paced and genuinely high-volume. You will run multiple U.S. client meetings each day and may manage 100+ active opportunities simultaneously, while maintaining the accuracy and follow-through required to ensure nothing falls through the cracks.The people who thrive here combine genuine commercial instinct with the organization and follow-through to protect a large book of relationships at once.
