Property Accountant

Property Accountant

Birmingham, Alabama

$60,000 - $75,000

Our client is seeking a Property Accountant to support full-cycle accounting activities across a portfolio of multifamily communities. This is a full-time, in-office position responsible for maintaining accurate, complete, and timely financial records for assigned properties.

As Property Accountant, you will handle the accounting cycle for a group of properties, coordinate closely with operations and leadership, and contribute to greater consistency and efficiency across the accounting function.

What You’ll Do:

• Oversee full-cycle accounting for an assigned group of properties, from transaction entry through completed financial statements.
• Analyze monthly results and deliver clear, actionable insights to property operations and ownership.
• Review revenue and expense activity to confirm accurate coding and completeness.
• Compile accruals, reconcile accounts, and generate reporting packages within established close deadlines.
• Maintain audit-ready balance sheet reconciliations with thorough supporting documentation.
• Contribute to variance analysis and help keep the monthly close calendar on track.
• Track daily cash activity and coordinate with operations and accounts payable to support cash flow needs.
• Validate tenant charges, lease information, and gross potential rent through detailed revenue reviews.
• Work with the accounts payable team to keep invoice processing and vendor compliance items, including insurance documentation, on schedule.
• Support internal control standards, company policy adherence, and applicable regulatory requirements.
• Contribute to audit requests, year-end procedures, and 1099 reporting.
• Identify opportunities to streamline workflows and support system upgrades or automation efforts.
• Partner with property management to troubleshoot financial questions and guide issues to resolution.
• Communicate clearly with both accounting and non-accounting stakeholders, responding to inquiries within expected timeframes.

What We’re Looking For:

• A bachelor’s degree in accounting, finance, or business is required.
• At least one year of relevant accounting experience; public accounting or real estate exposure is a plus but not required.
• Solid understanding of financial statements and core accounting principles.
• Advanced Excel proficiency.
• Comfortable working within centralized workflow tools such as Freshdesk.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to translate financial data for non-accounting audiences.
• Detail-oriented, deadline-driven, and able to juggle multiple priorities in a fast-paced setting.
• Self-starter with sound analytical and problem-solving abilities, comfortable working independently and as part of a team.
