Accounting Assistant

Description

Terrafirma manages commercial condo associations across the Scottsdale area - 35 properties and counting. Owners send friends and colleagues our way because we're the firm that actually calls back, not the one that goes quiet after the contract is signed.

We're hiring an Accounting Assistant to work directly with our Senior Accountant on the numbers that keep that reputation intact: accounts payable, accounts receivable, and the monthly reports clients rely on. You'll also be a first point of contact when a vendor or tenant has a billing question, so how you communicate matters as much as how you reconcile.

This is a full-time, in-office position based in Scottsdale, working standard business hours as part of a small, hands-on team.

WHAT THE WORK ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE

Day-to-day, you're moving between AP and AR, pulling together financial reports, and fielding billing questions from vendors and tenants, sometimes all in the same afternoon. Because the team is small, you'll also pick up general office work as it comes up.

WHO BELONGS HERE

• Care Like an Owner: You treat every invoice and every account as if it were your own money, not just a line item to process.
• Figure It Out: You don't wait to be told what to do. If something looks wrong, you look into it before it becomes a bigger problem.
• Bring the Energy: You're genuinely helpful with vendors and tenants, not just going through the motions.
• Solid Ground: You follow through on what you say. No guessing, no passing responsibility to someone else.

PAY AND PATH

$45,000 to $55,000 per year, based on experience, with real room to take on more of the accounting function as Terrafirma grows.

• Health insurance with optional dental, vision, and pet insurance
• Performance-based bonuses

Qualifications
