Job Overview
We are a growing commercial property management firm seeking an experienced Property Accountant with expertise in Yardi. You will manage all property-level accounting for our portfolio of office/commercial properties. This includes full-cycle accounts payable/receivable, monthly reporting to property owners, and coordination with our team on financial matters. Our property accounting is handled in Yardi Breeze, while corporate accounting is maintained in QuickBooks (so familiarity with QuickBooks is a plus). The ideal candidate is detail-oriented, communicative, and knowledgeable about commercial property accounting (experience with office properties and CAM reconciliations is also required).
Yardi experience is required – please highlight your hands-on Yardi accounting experience in a short video proposal (see Application Instructions below).
Key Responsibilities
General Ledger & Coding: Ensure all transactions are properly coded in Yardi (accurate GL classification of income, expenses, etc.). Maintain organized records for multiple entities/properties.
Accounts Payable: Manage the A/P process in Yardi – enter vendor invoices, route for approval, and process payments once approved. You will monitor the Yardi invoice workflow to make sure no bills are missed (troubleshoot any workflow issues as needed).
Accounts Receivable: Record and deposit tenant rent payments in Yardi. Monitor A/R aging and follow up on delinquencies in coordination with our property management team. Provide tenant ledger reports or account statements upon request.
Bank Reconciliations: Reconcile property bank accounts (operating accounts, security deposit accounts) on a monthly basis to ensure the books match the bank statements.
Monthly Close & Reporting: Perform month-end close for each property. Prepare monthly financial reports for property owners, including income/expense statements, balance sheet, rent roll, and other reports exported from Yardi. Ensure reports are delivered on time with complete accuracy.
Vendor Management: Maintain vendor records in Yardi (W-9 info, addresses, etc.). Handle annual 1099 filings for vendors – confirming vendor info and preparing 1099-NEC forms for IRS and vendor distribution.
Financial Coordination: Work closely with our property managers and operations team for any accounting information needed. Incorporate property manager’s updates into owner reports. Coordinate between Yardi and QuickBooks on any crossover items. Clear communication with our team (via email and Slack/Zoom) is essential.
Qualifications
Experience: 3+ years in property accounting or real estate accounting, preferably with commercial/office properties. Strong understanding of property management accounting practices (CAM reconciliations, accrual accounting, etc.).
Yardi Skills: Proficiency in Yardi Breeze (our primary property accounting software), or other Yardi Accounting platforms is required – you should be comfortable handling the entire accounting cycle in Yardi, from AP/AR to generating reports. Familiarity with Yardi workflows for invoice approvals and report generation is needed.
Accounting Knowledge: Able to prepare financial statements and explain variances. Attention to detail is critical – you will be double-checking entries, reconciliations, and reports for accuracy.
Tools: High proficiency in Excel for reporting and reconciling. Experience with QuickBooks is a plus (our corporate books are in QuickBooks, so ability to assist or coordinate is valued). Experience with any AP automation or payment systems (e.g. Ramp or bill pay platforms) is nice to have.
Communication: Excellent communication and organizational skills. Ability to work remotely and respond promptly during business hours. You will be liaising with property managers, owners, and our internal team via email/Slack, so clear professional communication is a must.
