ROLE PURPOSE

We're hiring a Senior Accountant to support one or more Vacation Rental clients, owning month-end close, reconciliations, and reporting for property-level and portfolio-level financials. This role sits above day-to-day bookkeeping and below Controller: you'll independently manage the close cycle, review the work of junior team members, and be the point of escalation for accounting judgment calls — while a Controller or Sr. Controller sets overall strategy for the account.

What You'll Do

• Own full-cycle month-end close for one or more Vacation Rental accounts, including journal entries, accruals, and account reconciliations.
• Reconcile owner statements, trust/escrow accounts, and property-level revenue against PMS data (e.g., Guesty, Streamline, Track, Hostaway).
• Review and mentor Bookkeepers/Accountants on the account, ensuring accuracy before work is escalated or finalized.
• Prepare and analyze financial statements (P&L, balance sheet) at the property and portfolio level for client and internal review.
• Manage AP/AR cycles as needed, including vendor and owner payment coordination through tools like Ramp or Bill.com.
• Identify and resolve discrepancies in booking, occupancy, and revenue data flowing from PMS into the general ledger.
• Support budgeting, forecasting, and variance analysis for client portfolios.
• Maintain and improve documentation of accounting procedures specific to the vacation rental revenue cycle (management fees, cleaning fees, owner payouts, channel commissions).
• Partner directly with the Controller/Sr. Controller on the account and communicate proactively with client-side stakeholders.

MUST-HAVES

• 3–5+ years of progressive accounting experience, including at least 1–2 years at a Senior Accountant level or equivalent scope.
• Hands‑on experience in Vacation Rental, Short‑Term Rental, or Property Management accounting — trust accounting exposure is strongly preferred.
• Solid working knowledge of US GAAP.
• Demonstrated ownership of full month‑end close, not just transactional entry.
• Experience reconciling high‑volume, multi‑property transaction data (bookings, fees, owner disbursements).
• Strong Excel/Google Sheets skills (pivot tables, lookups, reconciliation workbooks).
• Comfortable working across multiple client accounts or entities simultaneously.
• Professional written and spoken English, given daily client‑facing communication.

NICE-TO-HAVES

• Direct experience with Guesty, Streamline, Track, Hostaway, or similar vacation rental PMS platforms.
• Experience with Ramp, Bill.com, or QuickBooks Online.
• Background at a vacation rental operator, property manager, or outsourced accounting firm serving that space (e.g., Vacasa, Evolve, Sonder, Awning, Ximplifi, Accounting Prose, Verdant).
• Exposure to multi‑entity or multi‑client accounting environments.
• CPA in progress or completed (not required).

NOT A FIT IF

• Their experience is purely transactional bookkeeping with no ownership of close or reconciliations.
• They have no exposure to high‑volume, multi‑property or multi‑entity data.
• They're looking for a purely back‑office role with no client‑facing communication.

What We Offer

• 100% remote work with a US‑based, fast‑growing firm.
• Exposure to multiple clients and business models within one of the most dynamic segments of hospitality.
• A flat, modern team structure — direct access to Controllers and leadership, no red tape.
• Competitive compensation in USD.
• Room to grow into Controller‑level scope as the firm and your account expand.
