Job Description
We are looking for an experienced Property Accountant to support a real estate-focused accounting team in Massachusetts. This Long-term Contract opportunity is ideal for a hands-on, detail-oriented candidate who can step into a fast-paced environment, manage detailed accounting activities, and contribute with minimal ramp-up time. The role begins fully onsite during the initial training period and is best suited for someone with strong technical accounting skills, property accounting expertise, and confidence handling complex financial work.
Responsibilities:• Manage day-to-day accounting activities for real estate assets, ensuring transactions are recorded accurately and in a timely manner.
• Prepare and review account reconciliations, month-end close entries, and other supporting schedules related to general ledger activity.
• Analyze financial results and produce reports such as trial balances, income statements, cash flow statements, and property-specific operating reports.
• Support the preparation of real estate reporting packages, including rent roll analysis and financial information requested by lenders or tax advisors.
• Handle complex accounting matters by researching issues, resolving discrepancies, and applying sound judgment to unusual transactions.
• Monitor project and property-level costs to maintain accurate job costing records and support budget tracking.
• Process payments and checks in accordance with company procedures while maintaining strong documentation and controls.
• Work within accounting systems used by the organization, including Yardi when applicable, to maintain complete and reliable financial records.• Proven accounting experience with a strong foundation in general ledger management, accrual accounting, and month-end close.
• Direct background in real estate or property accounting is required.
• Ability to prepare, interpret, and explain financial statements and property-related financial reports.
• Experience performing detailed reconciliations and resolving complex accounting issues independently.
• Comfortable joining a small, dynamic organization and becoming productive quickly.
• Familiarity with Yardi software is preferred, though strong property accounting expertise is more important.
• Strong attention to detail, organizational skills, and the ability to manage a 40-hour work week onsite during the initial training period.
