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 fixing 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 #J-18808-Ljbffr
