• Review and approve peer work product to maintain quality standards across the accounting team
• Prepare financial packages and reports for community board presentations and management review
Bank & Account Reconciliations

• Reconcile additional balance sheet accounts as required and ensure all discrepancies are identified and resolved promptly
• Maintain clean, audit-ready reconciliation workpapers for every community in the portfolio
Budget Management

• Monitor actual performance against budget and flag variances to management and community boards
• Support the annual budget preparation process for all assigned communities in coordination with management
Community & Account Administration

• Process community terminations including final account reconciliation and proper close-out procedures
• Maintain organized and up-to-date records for all active and terminated communities
Client & Internal Communication
• Respond to a high volume of phone calls and emails from internal team members, community managers, and board members in a timely and professional manner
• Communicate financial information clearly to non-accounting stakeholders including HOA boards and community managers
• Handle challenging conversations and strong personalities with a calm, professional, and solutions-focused approach
• Maintain a pleasant and professional demeanor in all interactions, regardless of volume or complexity
• Strong knowledge of GAAP accounting principles and their application in a community association context
• Proficiency in Microsoft Word and Excel — including experience using Excel for financial reporting, reconciliations, and budget tracking
• Ability to manage a high volume of work across multiple client accounts simultaneously without sacrificing accuracy or timeliness
• Strong written and verbal communication skills — you communicate clearly, professionally, and with appropriate urgency
• Must be very responsive — internal and external clients can count on you for timely answers and follow-through
• Demonstrated ability to manage strong personalities and navigate difficult conversations calmly and professionally
Customer service oriented — you treat every interaction as an opportunity to build trust
