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 ResponsibilitiesGeneral 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
