Job description

Casago Coastal NC is a locally led, locally operated vacation rental management group serving four of the most beloved stretches of the North Carolina coastline through our family of brands: Hatteras Realty (Hatteras Island and the southern Outer Banks), Atlantic Beach Realty (the Crystal Coast), Carolina Coast Retreats (the Cape Fear region, including Wilmington and Topsail), and Carolina Breeze Vacations (the Brunswick Islands).

We are led by a team with decades of combined experience investing in, growing, and operating successful vacation rental management companies — and that experience is paired with on-the-ground local managers who live in the markets they serve. The people making decisions about a homeowner's property or a guest's stay are part of the same community, with the authority to act in real time. We believe vacation rental management is a relationship business, and relationships are built locally.

For homeowners, we are an advocate first — focused on protecting the home, maximizing income, and delivering transparent, real-time reporting. For guests, we deliver professionally cleaned, fully equipped homes backed by reliable local support from check-in to check-out.

As part of the Casago network, North America's largest specialized vacation rental manager, our local teams are backed by enterprise technology, distribution across 25+ leading channels including Vrbo, Airbnb, and Booking.com , and the operational resources of a national platform — while the strategy, service, and relationships remain ours, built locally for the long term.

Position Summary

As our Full Charge Bookkeeper, you'll be at the center of the financial operations supporting our five operating brands. Reporting directly to the Director of Accounting and the ownership group, you'll own the day-to-day accuracy of our books, keep cash flow and vendor payments on track, support payroll and budgeting, and serve as a trusted partner to our external accounting team through audit and tax season. If you love the satisfaction of a clean close, take pride in airtight records, and want real ownership over a growing multi-entity portfolio, this role is built for you.
