Job Description

Senior Property Accountant

We are hiring one senior-level accountant to own the full accounting function end-to-end. This is a combined role — the right person will run day-to-day operational bookkeeping and drive historical cleanup and financial reporting. Long-term, this person is positioned to become the accounting lead.

This is not a data-entry job. We need someone who can process volume accurately and think analytically — someone comfortable reconstructing messy books, investigating variances, and fix issues without hand-holding.

What You'll Own

Operational Accounting (Forward-Looking)

Daily transaction coding and categorization across QBO

Bank, credit card, and clearing account reconciliations

Bill entry, vendor payment processing, and AP workflow

Buildium-to-QBO transaction review and reconciliation

Monthly close: accruals, journal entries, prepaid and deferred items

Cleanup & Reconstruction (Historical)

Rebuilding subledgers from transaction-level detail when needed

Rent roll reconciliation against GL

Owner equity roll forwards

Investigating and resolving JE-heavy books where reconciliations have drifted

Clearing account cleanup and suspense resolution

Must-Haves

5+ years of full-cycle accounting experience, with meaningful ownership of month-end close

Property management accounting experience — Buildium strongly preferred; AppFolio, Yardi, Rent Manager, or Propertyware acceptable if the candidate has transferable depth

QuickBooks Online Expert (ProAdvisor certification a plus)

Advanced Excel — must be genuinely comfortable with SUMIFS, XLOOKUP/INDEX-MATCH, and Pivot Tables. VLOOKUP-and-SUM only will not clear the bar

Demonstrated experience with reconciliation-heavy work at volume (multi-entity, high transaction count, or multiple clearing accounts)

Cleanup / reconstruction methodology — can articulate how to rebuild books from source, not just post adjusting entries

Strong written and verbal English communication

Strong Pluses

Experience with revenue-split / pass-through expense accounting (landlord splits, owner distributions)

Big Four or public accounting audit background

CPA, CMA, or equivalent certification

STR / furnished rental / hospitality accounting exposure

Experience in a high-growth or rapidly scaling environment

What We're Not Looking For

AP-specialist or data-entry-only profiles

Candidates who default to post an adjusting entry as the answer to every cleanup question

Heavy reliance on automated bank feeds without underlying reconciliation judgment

Generic bookkeepers without property or reconciliation-heavy backgrounds
