Property Accountant & Yardi Specialist
Location: Fully Remote (U.S. Central Time hours)
Salary Range
: $2,500 to $3,500 Usd Based on Experience
Employment Type: Full-time - Independent Contractor Agreement
We are a rapidly growing U.S.
-based real estate firm that owns and manages a portfolio of commercial properties. Our accounting function supports the full financial lifecycle of these assets — from daily transactions through month-end and year-end close, annual budgeting, and lease-recovery reconciliations.
As the portfolio grows, so does the need for accurate, timely property-level financials and a well-run Yardi environment. This role sits at the center of that.
About the RoleThis is not a data-entry position, and it is not a role where you wait for instructions.
We are hiring a property accountant who can own the financials for a set of commercial properties end to end — the invoices, the ledgers, the reporting, and especially the lease recoveries — while treating Yardi as a system to be improved, not just operated.
The role exists because our portfolio has outgrown a purely transactional accounting setup. We need someone who understands the logic behind CAM, NNN, and additional-rent reconciliations (not just the keystrokes), who catches errors before they post, and who can build repeatable processes that scale as we grow. Final sign-off stays with us; the accuracy, the analysis, and the process improvement will be yours.
