Job Description

Role Overview

We are seeking a Property Accountant to take end-to-end ownership of general ledger accounting for an assigned portfolio of U.S. real estate assets. This is a hands-on, GL-heavy role centred on the month-end close: posting journal entries, building and maintaining accrual and prepaid schedules, reconciling every balance sheet account, and delivering a clean, fully supported trial balance and reporting package each period. Yardi experience is mandatory.

Roles & Responsibilities

General Ledger & Month-End Close

Own the full month-end close for an assigned portfolio, from cut-off to final trial balance sign-off.
Prepare and post all recurring and non-recurring journal entries — accruals, reversals, reclassifications, and allocations — with supporting documentation.
Maintain a tie-out-ready balance sheet where every account is backed by a reconciliation or roll-forward.
Handle intercompany accounting, due to/due from tracking, and management fee allocations across entities.
Clear suspense and unallocated accounts each period; ensure coding accuracy on transactions from AP and property operations.

Accruals

Build and maintain the monthly accrual schedule: utilities, R&M, management fees, professional fees, real estate taxes, insurance, and other operating costs.
Post accruals based on invoice history, contracts, and property management input, and reverse in the following period.
Track accrual accuracy against actual invoices received and refine estimation methodology to reduce true-up variances.
Maintain accrued interest, accrued capex, and retainage schedules.

What We Are Looking For

Yardi hands-on experience is mandatory — minimum 1+ year in Yardi across GL, AP, and reporting modules.
3–5 years of accounting experience, with meaningful hands-on property or real estate accounting exposure.
Demonstrated ownership of a full-cycle month-end close, not isolated task-level support.
Strong practical command of accrual accounting — able to explain and defend how a schedule was built.
Solid working knowledge of US GAAP and financial reporting standards.
Advanced Excel: pivots, lookups, and the ability to build clean, formula-driven schedules from scratch.
Excellent written and verbal English; confident corresponding directly with U.S.-based controllers and auditors.
CA / CPA preferred; CA Inter, CMA, or M.Com / MBA (Finance) with strong hands-on GL experience also considered.
Detail-oriented, proactive, and able to manage competing close deadlines independently.
Willing to work U.S. EST / PST shift hours.

Nice to have: exposure to MRI, RealPage, or Entrata; multi-entity or fund structures; commercial lease abstracts and recovery structures.
