Accounting Manager (Property Accounting | Yardi | AP/AR Oversight)

Overview

Helio is seeking a hands-on Accounting Manager to support and bring structure to day-to-day accounting operations across a growing portfolio of multifamily and mixed-use properties throughout Los Angeles County.

This role sits at the intersection of property accounting, AP/AR operations, and team oversight - and is ideal for someone who is equally comfortable in the details and stepping back to ensure workflows are running smoothly.

While this role is highly hands-on, it is not purely execution-focused. We are looking for someone who can take true ownership of accounting workflows, support and guide AP and AR leads by prioritizing work, resolving issues, and maintaining clean processes. This person will act as a consistent review and decision-making layer before issues escalate upward.

What You’ll Be Doing

Ownership & Oversight

• Act as the day-to-day owner of AP and AR workflows, ensuring accuracy, consistency, and accountability
• Support and guide AP and AR leads, helping prioritize work, resolve issues, and maintain clean processes
• Identify inefficiencies, bottlenecks, or recurring errors and proactively improve workflows
• Serve as a review layer for accounting output before it reaches senior leadership

Property Accounting (Hands-On)

• Perform and review property-level accounting across multiple entities
• Prepare and post journal entries, accruals, and reclasses
• Own bank reconciliations, balance sheet tie-outs, and general ledger accuracy
• Support and help drive the month-end close process with organized, accurate workpapers
• Review key reports (GL, trial balance, P&L, rent roll, etc.) for accuracy and completeness

AP / AR Integration

• Review invoices for coding accuracy and support AP processing and approvals
• Oversee tenant ledger activity, cash application, and collections monitoring
• Step into AP or AR functions as needed (coverage, issue resolution, process support)
• Ensure clear communication and alignment between accounting and property management teams

Collaboration & Communication

• Work closely with Property Managers to ensure financial accuracy at the property level
• Partner with leadership on improving systems, processes, and reporting
• Help create a more structured and scalable accounting environment as the company grows

What We’re Looking For

• 5 years of accounting experience, ideally within multifamily property accounting
• Strong working knowledge of Yardi (Voyager preferred)
• Experience across AP, AR, and general ledger accounting
• Proven ability to review work and catch errors, not just execute tasks
• Comfort operating in a hands-on environment while also guiding others
• Experience supporting or overseeing accounting workflows or junior staff (formal management experience not required, but a plus)
• Strong understanding of month-end close, reconciliations, and property-level reporting
• Intermediate to advanced Excel skills
• Highly organized, detail-oriented, and reliable

Compensation & Benefits

• Pay range: $100,000 - $120,000
• Medical, dental, vision
• 401(k) with company match
• Paid time off and holidays
