As accounting team member, Jared conducts daily financial operations, including complex payables, booking the proceeds of property and DST sales to various investment entities within the firm, and making monthly distributions to investors. “I always liked puzzles. Now do them at work.”
He attended Hesser College until 2007, then plunging into accounting in the automotive industry in roles that included payroll, accounts receivable and payable, costing, and internal audit. Over the next decade, he grew his accounting skills but struggled against the tide of a negative and critical culture he encountered in his field. “I wanted a change but was hesitant to move on because I couldn’t see past the front door of my office.”
In 2016, Jared gathered himself for a move, trying a hand at property management accounting – for one month – before he was approached by RR Keller Associates, an outsourced accounting agency serving companies in construction, manufacturing and installations. He took the job and found his stride, that was, until an old friend invited him to take a look at Net Lease Capital, where a growing accounting department was hiring.
Jared and wife, Amanda, married in 2011. Along with a long list of do-it-yourself renovations, Jared happily surrenders his remaining hours outside the office to catering to the demands of two, young, mildly high maintenance, emerging beauty queens.
