Job Description

Job Description

We're seeking a detail-oriented and motivated Property Accountant to join a collaborative and technology-driven team. This opportunity is ideal for someone early in their accounting career who wants to gain hands-on experience, develop new skills, and grow within a stable organization.

The right person will be coachable, eager to learn, receptive to feedback, and willing to take ownership of their work. Whether you're looking to build your accounting foundation or continue growing as an individual contributor, you'll have the opportunity to gain exposure to a wide variety of accounting, property management, and business operations functions.

What You'll Do

As a Property Accountant, you'll support the financial operations of a diverse portfolio of commercial and residential properties by:

  • Preparing and reviewing monthly financial statements and reporting packages.
  • Monitoring expenses, cash balances, and overall financial performance.
  • Researching budget variances and assisting with financial analysis.
  • Supporting annual budgeting processes and expense forecasting.
  • Preparing tenant reconciliations and responding to tenant questions regarding charges and year-end settlements.
  • Reviewing invoices, vendor charges, and contract-related billing for accuracy.
  • Assisting with rent invoicing and account reconciliations.
  • Maintaining accurate accounting records and system data.
  • Partnering with property managers to answer accounting-related questions and resolve issues.
  • Assisting with sales tax reviews and other recurring accounting processes.
  • Supporting vendor bidding and contract review processes for services such as maintenance, janitorial, landscaping, and other property-related services.
  • Assisting with ad hoc reporting requests, process improvements, and special projects.

This role offers a mix of recurring responsibilities and project-based work:

  • Daily financial reviews and invoice processing.
  • Weekly support of operational and accounting activities.
  • Monthly financial reporting and reconciliations.
  • Customer and tenant account reviews.
  • Sales tax reviews and compliance-related activities.
  • Annual budgeting, rent invoicing, and tenant expense reconciliations.
  • Ongoing special projects and process improvement initiatives.

  • Associates degree in Accounting preferred; equivalent experience will be considered.
  • 1-4 years of accounting, finance, bookkeeping, or related experience preferred.
  • Basic understanding of accounting principles.
  • Strong attention to detail and organizational skills.
  • Comfortable working with spreadsheets, systems, and technology.
  • Ability to manage multiple priorities and meet deadlines.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills.
  • Positive attitude and willingness to learn.
  • Ability to accept feedback and continuously improve.
  • Self-starter who takes initiative and follows through on commitments.
