Property Accountant

We are hiring a Staff Accountant for a US-based real estate investment and property management group. You will own the general ledger for a set of rental properties held across several separate legal entities, and you will be the person who closes them, reconciles them, and reports on them every month.

This is not a role where the work is checked twice before it counts. The property managers see the buildings, the asset managers see the returns, and the accounting picture comes from you. When a CAM reconciliation does not tie or an invoice is coded to the wrong entity, you are the one who catches it, and the month-end numbers go out on the strength of your work.

That takes a different level of trust than a general accounting seat, which is why we screen carefully for it. If you are the kind of accountant who chases a difference until it clears rather than moving it somewhere quieter, this is a good fit.

Key Responsibilities

General Ledger and Month-End Close

• Prepare journal entries across the portfolio, including accruals, amortization, and allocations between properties and entities
• Reconcile balance sheet accounts, including operating and escrow bank accounts, and resolve differences rather than carrying them forward
• Support the monthly, quarterly, and year-end close calendar across several properties and legal entities at once

Property and Lease Accounting

• Record rental income and raise tenant billings in line with each lease
• Prepare and reconcile CAM and other tenant recoveries, including the year-end true-up
• Track prepaid expenses, security deposits, and escrow balances
• Maintain fixed asset schedules and depreciation records at property level

Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable

• Monitor rent collections and accounts receivable ageing across the portfolio
• Prepare delinquency reporting and support follow-up with the property managers
• Review and process property-related invoices, checking the coding, the period, and the entity before anything is posted

Financial Reporting and Analysis

• Prepare property-level financial statements
• Perform budget-to-actual variance analysis and explain what moved and why, not just by how much
• Support annual budget preparation and reforecasting

Working With The Wider Team

• Work directly with property managers, asset managers, and external auditors
• Carry several properties and entities at the same time in a high-volume, deadline-driven month-end cycle

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance
• Two to five years of accounting experience
• Working knowledge of property accounting principles
• Hands-on experience with Yardi Voyager or a comparable property accounting platform such as MRI, RealPage, AppFolio, or Entrata
• Experience booking equity entries and intercompany transactions
• Understanding of entity hierarchies and how they are treated in the accounts across real estate ownership structures
• Comfortable with fixed asset accounting and depreciation methodologies
• Advanced Excel, including pivot tables, VLOOKUP or XLOOKUP, and financial modeling
• Strong analytical skills and real attention to detail
• Clear written and spoken English

Preferred Qualifications

• Real estate or property management industry experience
• Direct hands-on experience preparing CAM reconciliations and tenant recovery true-ups
• Experience supporting a portfolio of multiple entities under one ownership group
• Prior experience working directly with US or other Western clients in a remote role
• CPA or an equivalent professional qualification (not required for this role)

Tools and Software

• Yardi Voyager (primary) or a comparable property accounting platform
• Microsoft Excel, at an advanced level
• Microsoft Teams and OneDrive
• Hubstaff time tracking, which is standard on every Remote Raven placement

What Makes You a Great Fit

• You reconcile to zero. If a difference will not clear, you raise it. You do not force it.
• You can carry several properties and entities at once without losing track of which is which.
• You chase what you need. When a property manager has not sent the invoice detail, you follow up rather than waiting.
• You tell people early when something is going to slip, while there is still time to do something about it.
• You take a correction, apply it, and do not need to be told twice.
• You are comfortable being the only accountant online at that hour and making a sensible call on your own.

What We Offer

• Up to $12/hour
• 100% remote work
• Full-time role

We hire for the long haul, so a steady track record of staying and growing always moves you up our list.
