Accounts Receivable Specialist

Job Title: Accounts Receivable Specialist ┃

This is a well-established New York property management company with a large residential portfolio, and they need someone who can hit the ground running on day one. It's a temporary assignment expected to run 2-3 months with a real chance of extending.

The AR Specialist owns the day-to-day cash and tenant accounting cycle, reconciling deposits, applying payments, managing security deposits and refunds, and handling the escalations and chargebacks that come with a residential portfolio. You'll be the point of contact for tenant billing questions and will work closely with property and assistant property managers to keep accounts current and accurate.
