Job description

CityPlat, LLC · Raleigh, NC

Full-time · On-site, with hybrid flexibility after 90 days

$50,000 – $60,000 base, commensurate with experience, plus performance bonus

CityPlat is a boutique commercial real estate firm based in Raleigh. We acquire, lease, develop, and manage industrial and flex properties, multi-tenant retail, and net-lease assets across North Carolina and beyond, with an in-house brokerage alongside the ownership platform.

We are hiring a Property Accountant to own the day-to-day accounting operations of our portfolio. It is a hands‑on seat with real scope: you will keep the books clean and current across a multi‑entity structure and serve as the in‑house counterpart to our external accounting firm.

What You'll Do

Bank Reconciliations & Cash

• Perform monthly bank reconciliations across operating, security deposit, reserve, and escrow accounts; research and clear reconciling items promptly
• Record daily cash activity and monitor balances at the property and entity level

Accounts Payable

• Manage the AP cycle end to end: invoice intake, GL coding, approval routing, and payment runs
• Maintain the vendor master file, including W-9s, insurance certificates, and annual 1099 preparation

Accounts Receivable & Tenant Billing

• Post rent rolls and recurring charges, and maintain charge schedules as leases are signed, amended, or expire
• Apply cash receipts, maintain the AR aging, and drive collection follow‑up on past‑due balances

General Ledger & Close

• Maintain accurate, current general ledger records across all entities and properties, and execute month‑end close
• Support CAM, insurance, and real estate tax billings, estimates, and annual recovery reconciliations
• Track debt service and escrow activity, and prepare property‑and‑entity‑level reporting packages

Transaction & Closing Accounting

• Book acquisition and disposition closings from settlement statements, including purchase price allocation and prorations
• Set up new ownership entities and properties in our system as deals close

Brokerage Accounting

• Track commission receivables and process agent and broker commission splits and payouts
• Maintain brokerage trust and escrow account records, including monthly reconciliation

Coordination with External Accounting

• Serve as the day-to-day point of contact for our external accounting and tax team, delivering clean records and reconciliations on schedule
• Support them through month‑end, quarter‑end, and year‑end close, tax preparation, and financial statements

What We're Looking For

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field, or equivalent hands‑on experience
• 4+ years of full‑cycle or property accounting experience, including direct ownership of bank reconciliations and AP
• Experience maintaining a multi‑entity set of books, with a working command of double‑entry accounting through the trial balance
• Hands‑on experience with a commercial property management accounting system — Yardi, MRI, RealPage, or comparable
• Strong Excel skills and comfort reconciling large system exports
• Attention to detail, consistent follow‑through, and the ability to run your own day‑to‑day

A note on systems: Our books run on Yardi Voyager. Prior Yardi experience is a significant advantage, but if you bring the accounting fundamentals from another commercial platform, we will invest in getting you up to speed.

Benefits

• Health insurance
• paid time off and holidays
• retirement plan
• annual performance bonus
• professional development support, including Yardi and continuing education

CityPlat, LLC is an equal opportunity employer. Employment is at-will.
