About the Role: We are seeking a hands‑on Senior Bookkeeper to independently manage multi‑entity bookkeeping across 20 bank and credit accounts supporting both property management and investment operations. This is not a junior data‑entry role; you will own the execution of the bookkeeping function and work closely with external reviewers and CPAs to maintain accurate reliable financial records.

Our ideal candidate has experience in Private Equity Real Estate or Property Management accounting and thrives in managing complex financial workflows with accuracy, attention to detail, and process ownership.

Key Responsibilities

  • Produce reliable financial reports (P&L, Balance Sheet, Cash Summary).
  • Perform basic balance sheet reasonableness checks and flag anomalies proactively.
• Accounts Payable (AP)
  • Manage vendor bill/invoice intake coding approval routing and payment scheduling.
  • Ensure payment controls are followed—no payments without proper approvals.
  • Track recurring payables, loan payments, and vendor compliance documentation as needed.
• Accounts Receivable (AR)
  • Issue invoices, record deposits, and manage AR aging.
  • Systematically track receivables and follow up with internal stakeholders to ensure collections.
• Property Management Accounting Support
  • Support accounting workflows tied to property operations including rent income reimbursements management fees and owner statements.
  • Reconcile property management system reports to the general ledger (rent roll/deposits/income tie‑out).
  • Coordinate with property management teams to resolve variances promptly.
• Intercompany & Loan Tracking
  • Maintain intercompany due‑to/due‑from tracking and reconciliation across entities.
  • Track loan schedules (interest/principal) and tie to lender statements, recording entries correctly.
  • Ensure organized audit‑ready support for major balance sheet accounts.

Required Systems & Tools

• QuickBooks Online and Desktop
• Excel / Google Sheets (reconciliations, schedules, checklists)

Preferred

• Property management software (e.g., Buildium)

Who You Are

• Highly organized and detail‑oriented with the ability to manage complex workflows independently.
• Experienced in multi‑entity bookkeeping and financial reporting.
• Proactive, process‑driven, and comfortable collaborating with leadership property teams and external reviewers.
