Property Accountant

NAI UCR Properties | Flowood, MS | Full-time, in office

Reports to: CFO/COO

Seat: Property & Project Accounting

Works closely with: Property Management, Construction Management, and our outsourced accounting team

NAI UCR Properties is a vertically integrated commercial real estate firm based in Flowood, Mississippi. Brokerage, property management, asset management, construction management, and facilities management all live under one roof, with roughly 1.5 million square feet under management and about $100 million in assets under management across industrial, office, and retail properties.

We are a team of about 16 people and growing. We run on EOS, the Entrepreneurial Operating System, which means every seat has clear accountabilities, every team tracks a few numbers that matter, and we meet weekly to solve problems instead of letting them linger. Our core values are simple and we actually use them:
Credibility Through Conduct, Roadblock Removers, Collective Success Focused, and Progress, Not Just Properties.

We are also a technology-focused, AI-forward company, and we invest heavily in systems and software. We use Claude, Salesforce, Microsoft 365, and Yardi every day, along with modern workflow automation and reporting platforms, and we expect every seat to keep pushing recurring, mundane work into automation so people can spend their time on higher-value problems. If you like building a dashboard more than reading a report, you will fit in here.

We are hiring a Property Accountant to own property-level accounting and lease administration for a portfolio of roughly 45 commercial properties and 200 tenants across Mississippi. This is a real seat with real authority. You will be the approver of record for property-level accounting activity, the internal owner of the numbers our property managers and owners rely on, and the day-to-day point of contact for our outsourced accounting team, which handles transactional processing in Yardi.

You will not spend your days keying invoices. Our outsourced team does that. Your job is to make sure the work is right, the tenants and owners are billed correctly, the books close clean every month, problems get run down before they become issues, and the repetitive parts of the job get automated rather than repeated. You will work directly with property managers, construction managers, and the CFO/COO, and you will have a front-row view of how a commercial real estate company actually operates.
