Job description

We’re a profitable, growth-stage company building industry-leading martech and data products for the rentals industry.

We’re a fully remote team of 100+ spread across the U.S. from coast to coast. We operate on a strict no a**holes policy and are proud to have built a community of highly performing people that take our work seriously, but not ourselves.

• Collaborate with the leadership team to provide financial insights and support strategic decision-making.
• Manage the month-end and year-end close processes, ensuring accuracy and timeliness.
• Oversee tax compliance and coordinate with external auditors and tax advisors.
• Support budgeting, forecasting, and financial planning initiatives.
• Implement and optimize accounting software and tools to improve efficiency and scalability.
• Mentor and develop a small team of accounting professionals, fostering a culture of growth and excellence.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field; CPA or equivalent certification is strongly preferred.
• 5+ years of progressive accounting experience, including management roles.
• Experience in multifamily and a startup or high-growth environment is preferred.
• Strong knowledge of GAAP and financial reporting standards.
• Proficiency with accounting software and advanced Excel skills.
• Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and organizational skills.
• Exceptional attention to detail and ability to work under tight deadlines.
• Strong leadership and communication skills, with the ability to collaborate across teams.

Why Rentable:

• Competitive Compensation Package.
• Stock Options.
• Flexible Vacation Policy.
• Medical, Dental, and Vision Insurance.
• 100% paid Short-Term Disability, Long-Term Disability, and Life Insurance Program.
