Evernest is a full-service real estate and property management company with a national presence and an outstanding reputation. We operate in more than 50 of the nation’s most investable markets and manage approximately 12,000 homes. Our team is high-performing, our culture is second to none, and our core values drive collaboration, innovation, and the relentless pursuit of excellence.

Our people, proprietary technology, and commitment to continuous improvement are reshaping an industry. Our goal is to manage 250,000 homes by 2030, and we are looking for driven individuals who share our vision and want to shape the future of property management while making a lasting impact on our clients and communities.

At Evernest, property accounting is not back-office work. We are building a brand that residents, owners, and vendors genuinely trust, and for accounting, that trust is built one clean, on-time statement at a time. You and your team will own some of the most important deliverables in the company: reporting that owners, clients, and our own teams never have to question.

We are seeking an ambitious, high-ownership accounting leader to own the books behind every door we manage. This is the single seat accountable for the close and trust accounting across all three client segments (Retail SFR, Institutional SFR, and Multifamily) and for a team of roughly 25 U.S.

-based and international accountants and specialists. You will report to the Chief Operating Officer as the most senior client accounting leader in the organization, and you will sit on the Evernest Senior Leadership Team, the most senior group outside the executive team. Every member of the Senior Leadership Team is responsible for owning their business and driving it toward the shared vision of the organization.

Property Accounting will be yours.

This is a strategic-doer seat. As the technical authority in property accounting, you will personally own our most complex institutional client books until the team and processes maintain your standards without your day-to-day involvement. You will also be the technical escalation path and the career path for every accountant in the department. It is also a builder’s seat. Our processes and team are good;

your job is to make them best in class. AI is changing how we work, and it must be core to how the department operates, not an occasional experiment: eliminating manual work, catching exceptions before they become variances, and tightening the close. In addition to paving the way with AI, you will partner with our data and technology teams to build durable processes, designed with the client in mind, that close the books earlier every month.

This is a growth seat. We are as interested in the rising accounting leader as the seasoned one, because the scale we are building toward will demand more of this role every year. There is no status quo.

• Deliver the close on time, every month. Owner statements, client packages, reconciliations, disbursements, and 1099s across all three segments, from a door’s onboarding through its disposition.
• Keep every trust dollar clean and provable. 100% of trust and operating accounts reconciled monthly across more than 50 markets, no unexplained variances, clean audits, and full compliance with every state’s broker trust rules.
• Own institutional client accounting. Client-specific mappings, funding requests, lender and DSCR reporting, capex policy, and fee analysis. Be the person on the call when a number is challenged.
• Build the bench. Coach…
