Senior Accountant

We are a real estate company overseeing residential and commercial properties. We are seeking an experienced, detail-oriented, and hands-on Senior Accountant to manage the day-to-day accounting operations for multiple properties and entities.

The ideal candidate has strong real estate accounting experience, hands-on experience with QuickBooks and Yardi, and is comfortable both entering transactions and reviewing financial activity. This is a hands-on accounting position. The Senior Accountant will be responsible for accurately recording transactions, maintaining the books, performing reconciliations, and preparing financial reports—not simply reviewing work performed by others.

Key Responsibilities

• Record and post daily accounting transactions for multiple properties and entities.
• Enter and maintain accounts payable, accounts receivable, tenant charges, rents, deposits, vendor invoices, and other property-related transactions.
• Maintain accurate general ledgers and chart of accounts for multiple entities.
• Perform monthly bank, credit card, and balance sheet reconciliations.
• Prepare monthly financial statements, including income statements, balance sheets, and property-level financial reports.
• Review accounting records for accuracy and ensure transactions are properly coded and recorded.
• Manage accounts payable and accounts receivable, including vendor payments, tenant billing, and collections-related accounting.
• Maintain and reconcile tenant and lease-related accounting records.
• Track property-level income and expenses and ensure transactions are properly allocated to the appropriate property and entity.
• Assist with CAM reconciliations, lease schedules, and other real estate accounting requirements.
• Enter and maintain accounting information in Yardi and QuickBooks.
• Reconcile activity between Yardi, QuickBooks, bank accounts, and other accounting records as applicable.
• Prepare cash flow reports and other financial reports for management.
• Assist with month-end and year-end closing processes.
• Assist with payroll processing and expense reimbursements as needed.
• Support year-end audits, tax preparation, and financial reviews.
• Work closely with property managers, vendors, management, and ownership to resolve accounting discrepancies and ensure accurate financial reporting.
• Identify discrepancies, investigate issues, and make necessary corrections.
• Maintain organized and accurate accounting records and supporting documentation.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of accounting experience, preferably in real estate or property management.
• Strong hands-on experience with QuickBooks and Yardi is required.
• Real estate/property management accounting experience strongly preferred.
• Must be comfortable entering transactions directly into the accounting system and handling day-to-day accounting functions, not solely reviewing or supervising the work of others.
• Strong understanding of general ledger accounting, reconciliations, accounts payable, accounts receivable, and financial statements.
• Knowledge of real estate accounting concepts, including property-level accounting, tenant activity, leases, and CAM reconciliations.
• Experience managing accounting for multiple properties, entities, or bank accounts.
• Strong attention to detail and accuracy.
• Excellent organizational and time-management skills.
• Ability to identify problems, research discrepancies, and resolve accounting issues independently.
• Strong communication skills and ability to work effectively with property managers, vendors, and management.
• Ability to work independently while managing multiple priorities and deadlines.
• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field preferred but not required.
• CPA preferred.
