Property Accountant & Yardi Specialist

LocationFully Remote (U.S. Central Time hours)

Salary Range$2,500 to $3,500 Usd Based on Experience

Employment TypeFull-time - Independent Contractor Agreement

About the Company

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 Role

This 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.

Key Responsibilities

Accounts Payable & Invoice Integrity

  • Code invoices to the correct property, entity, and general ledger account
  • Flag duplicate invoices, missing documentation, and coding discrepancies before they post
  • Support and maintain clean, well-documented AP workflows

General Ledger & Financial Reporting

  • Review monthly balance sheets, income statements, and GL postings across all managed properties
  • Prepare property-level financial reports and clearly explain significant variances against budget
  • Perform bank reconciliations and support accurate month-end close

Budgeting & Forecasting

  • Develop annual operating budgets for each property
  • Track actuals against budget throughout the year and surface variances early

Tenant Accounting & Lease Recoveries

  • Prepare and distribute monthly tenant statements
  • Review tenant ledgers and recurring charges for accuracy
  • Prepare CAM, NNN, operating expense, tax, insurance, and additional-rent reconciliations
  • Calculate tenant pro rata shares and apply the correct lease provisions
  • Prepare reconciliation workpapers and updated estimated charges for internal approval
  • Monitor tenant AR and coordinate on outstanding balances

Audit, Tax & Close Support

  • Support monthly and year-end accounting
  • Respond to CPA requests and support audits and tax preparation

Systems & Process Improvement

  • Identify underutilized Yardi features and recommend ways to streamline accounting workflows
  • Build documented procedures and recurring reports for approved processes
  • Serve as the internal point of expertise for Yardi Breeze and/or Voyager

Required Qualifications

  • Hands-on property accounting or real estate bookkeeping experience
  • Working experience in Yardi Breeze, Yardi Voyager, or both
  • Practical knowledge of CAM, NNN, and additional-rent reconciliations
  • Solid grasp of balance sheets, income statements, general ledgers, and accrual accounting
  • Experience preparing property budgets and financial reports
  • Strong Excel skills (lookups, pivot tables, reconciliation work)
  • Excellent attention to detail and clear written English
  • Proven ability to manage deadlines and work independently in a remote environment

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with U.S. commercial property accounting
  • Exposure to multi-entity or multi-property portfolios
  • A track record of documenting or improving accounting processes within Yardi

Position Details

  • Fully remote position
  • Availability required during Central Time business hours
  • Reliable attendance and responsiveness throughout the established workday
  • Final approval of payments, budgets, lease interpretations, and tenant reconciliations remains with the company
  • Qualified candidates may be asked to complete a paid skills assessment using fictional property information
