Job description

About Us:
Daisy is building the future of living. As a full-stack, AI-native property management company for HOAs, co-ops, and condos, we're modernizing one of real estate's largest and most fragmented industries. By combining technology with exceptional service, we deliver greater transparency for boards, more efficient operations, and a better resident experience.

About Us:
Daisy is building the future of living. As a full-stack, AI-native property management company for HOAs, co-ops, and condos, we're modernizing one of real estate's largest and most fragmented industries. By combining technology with exceptional service, we deliver greater transparency for boards, more efficient operations, and a better resident experience.
In just a few years, we've become the 8th largest property management company in NYC, expanded across the tri-state area, and now manage over 5,000 units and $200M+ in building budgets.
Backed by strong growth and recent financing, we're entering our next chapter of growth as we expand Daisy's AI-powered operating model nationwide.
Overview:
Every building we manage runs on the money it collects. Common charges, maintenance, assessments, late fees, transfer and move-in fees, sublet fees - hundreds of line items a month across thousands of units, each one belonging to a different building's books and a different board's expectations.
The Accounts Receivable Manager owns that collection engine end to end. You'll make sure charges are billed correctly and on time, cash is applied accurately, arrears are chased early and consistently, and every board knows exactly where their building stands. When a unit goes delinquent, you own the path from friendly reminder to payment plan to legal referral - and you make sure it moves, without anyone having to ask.
This is not a seat where you process a queue and go home. Our AR volume grows faster than we can add headcount, so the real job is designing the system: clean SOPs, aging discipline, automation, and AI agents that handle the repetitive follow-up so your team handles the judgment calls.

What You’ll Do:

• The full AR cycle across our portfolio: billing setup, invoicing, cash application, reconciliation, and month-end AR close
• Aging and collections: own the aging report, set the follow-up cadence by bucket, and drive DSO and delinquency rates down, building by building
• Delinquency escalation: late notices, payment plans, lien and legal referrals, and coordination with building counsel - with clean documentation at every step
• Resident and board communication on balances: clear, firm, and human, including the hard conversations
• Board-facing arrears reporting: an accurate, consistent, on-time picture of collections for every building, with the story behind the numbers
• Special assessments and one-off billing events: set up, communicated, tracked, and collected
• Bank, lockbox, and payment-processor reconciliation, and resolution of misapplied or unidentified payments
• The AR SOP library: written, current, and specific enough that a new hire or an offshore teammate can execute without shadowing you
• Automation and AI: partner with Product Operations to replace manual dunning, reminders, reconciliation matching, and reporting with tooling and agents
• Controls and audit readiness: clean records, clear ownership, and no surprises for auditors or boards
  

What You Bring:

• 4+ years in accounts receivable, collections, or building/property accounting - property management, real estate, or a high-volume multi-entity environment strongly preferred
• Working knowledge of NYC co-op and condo dynamics: common charges vs. maintenance, sponsor arrears, the lien and non-payment process, and what boards expect of a managing agent's fiduciary duty
• Command of the AR fundamentals: aging, cash application, reconciliation, write-offs, and the discipline to keep them clean at volume
• Comfort managing many sets of books at once, where each building is its own entity with its own board, budget, and rules
• Strong process mindset: you look for the repeatable pattern in messy work and turn it into a system instead of a habit
• Data fluency - you can pull it, question it, and build a clear narrative from it (Excel to a serious standard; SQL or a BI tool is a plus)
• Clear, direct written communication. Collections is a writing job as much as a numbers job, and tone matters when the reader is a resident or a board president
• High ownership and low ego. You chase the loose ends and close them
• Composure under pressure and the willingness to hold a firm line politely
  

Nice to Have

• Experience managing or coaching AR staff, including offshore teams
• Hands-on AI usage in your own work - prompts, prototypes, scripts, or AI-built tools that remove work from your plate
• Experience with property management and finance stacks (Yardi, MRI, AppFolio, Buildium, QuickBooks, Bill.com, Stripe) and automation tools (Airtable, n8n, Retool, Zapier)
• Exposure to a fast-scaling operations business where the process changed under you more than once
• Accounts payable experience - invoice intake, approval routing, vendor relationships, and payment runs. We're actively building out our AP process, and someone who understands both sides of the ledger will have room to take more
  

Compensation:
This role offers a salary of $75K-$100K, depending on experience and qualifications, along with a competitive benefits package and equity.
