Job description

About The Team

The Financial Operations (FinOps) team at Nomad powers the core of our business: guaranteed owner payments. FinOps works closely with customer success, sales, engineering, product, and other teams across the org to deliver our mission of unlocking economic opportunity for everyone in the long-term rental community. As our company grows and changes, so do our procedures. As part of this team, you’ll partner with our Finance Operations team to develop those processes and witness the real-time impact they have on Nomad.

About The Role

We’re looking for a Bookkeeping Operations Specialist who’s excited to support Nomad’s day-to-day operational accounting and who gets energized, not rattled, when processes change. Our systems, workflows, and priorities evolve constantly as we grow, and we need someone who can hold real accounting fundamentals in one hand and genuine comfort with ambiguity in the other. If you’ve only ever worked in one system, one process, one way of doing things, this probably isn’t your role. But if you’re a person with a desire for an unconventional path in accounting, who picks up new tools fast, and who’d rather build the process than just follow it, we want to talk to you!

In the Role, You’ll

• Conduct day-to-day bookkeeping in AppFolio, including rent advances, check processing, and security deposit returns
• Handle internal accounting requests (issuing concessions, refunding tenants, etc.)
• Respond to owner and tenant accounting inquiries
• Assist with move-outs, delinquencies, owner payments, and bank reconciliations
• Use reports to investigate financial discrepanciesImprove bookkeeping accuracy and help evolve our processes as we scale

Who You Are

We care more about what you can actually do than how many years you’ve clocked. That could look like a couple of years of hands‑on small‑business or freelance bookkeeping, a longer stretch of customer‑facing work paired with self‑taught accounting skills, or something in between.
