Job Title: Accounts Receivable Specialist ┃Location: New York, NY (Onsite) ┃Job Type: Temporary/Contract (2-3 months)

Why This Role

This is a well-established New York property management company with a large residential portfolio, and they need someone who can hit the ground running on day one.

You'll be the point of contact for tenant billing questions and will work closely with property and assistant property managers to keep accounts current and accurate.

Core Responsibilities

• Record and reconcile daily cash deposit batches against bank statements
• Apply tenant payments to ledgers and make account adjustments as needed
• Process manual deposits, move-ins, and move-out reports
• Manage security deposit deposits, withdrawals, and refunds (14-day turnaround from move-out)
• Compile and upload correspondence, refund checks, and proof of mailing for company records
• Screen rent stabilized/controlled tenant rent checks
• Process MCI increases, MBR adjustments, and RE tax escalations, including related billing/letter notifications
• Process utility billings, chargebacks, and check requests
• Field tenant inquiries on billing, security deposits, and related accounting matters
