Property & Real Estate Accountant

Candidate ID: 31413

This candidate is a well‑rounded accounting professional with a strong background in property and real estate accounting, bringing approximately 7–8 years of advanced experience using enterprise property management and accounting software. They have handled full‑cycle accounting responsibilities, including accounts payable and receivable, journal entries, accruals, prepaids, general ledger reconciliations, variance analysis, payroll processing, sales tax filings, and preparation of financial statements for audits and CPA review. Additional experience includes CAM reconciliations, lease accounting, and construction draw management.

Their most recent full‑time role was as a Property Accountant supporting a portfolio of residential properties as part of a larger accounting team. This position was fully remote and offered strong stability and compensation. The candidate enjoyed the role and performance was well‑regarded; however, the position was eliminated following the sale of the portfolio they supported. They received severance and would have otherwise remained with the organization.

Prior to that, the candidate held a property accounting position with a real estate management group, initially focused on traditional accounting responsibilities. Over time, the role expanded to include building lease structures within the accounting system and managing lease abstracts for a newly developed retail property. As the position evolved more heavily toward property management functions rather than accounting, the candidate ultimately chose to seek a role more closely aligned with their accounting expertise.

Earlier in their career, the candidate worked closely with a controller at a global organization to address several years of disorganized financial records. They played a key role in cleaning up historical data, reconciling intercompany discrepancies, and recovering nearly $100K in outstanding bill‑backs, significantly improving the accuracy and reliability of the organization’s financial reporting.

Currently, the candidate is engaged in contract accounting work with a CPA firm, assisting with project‑based and year‑end accounting needs. While the work is valuable and well aligned with their skill set, the position is temporary and does not offer long‑term stability or benefits, prompting their search for a full‑time opportunity.

Overall, this candidate is known for being personable, communicative, and highly collaborative. They are seeking a long‑term role where they can contribute consistently and grow with an organization. If selected, they are available to begin work immediately.
