Location: Corporate / Remote with required travel
Department: Finance
Reports To: Assistant Controller
At RYSE Management, we believe in building thriving communities, empowering our teams, and delivering excellence in every aspect of our operations — including our financial foundation.
We’re looking for a dedicated and experienced Accountant to join our RYSE family. This position plays a vital role in safeguarding financial accuracy, integrity, and compliance across the organization. In this role, you will manage daily accounting functions, support financial reporting, partner with internal teams, and help maintain strong internal controls that reflect RYSE’s values of Stewardship, Excellence, Integrity, Service, Relationships, and Elevation.
As an Accountant at RYSE, you will oversee the organization’s general ledger activities, including journal entries, accruals, and adjustments. You will prepare monthly, quarterly, and annual financial reports with a high level of accuracy, ensuring leadership always has reliable information. A key part of your responsibilities includes reconciling bank accounts and balance sheet items, researching discrepancies, and maintaining complete and accurate financial records. You will process accounts payable and receivable transactions, support timely vendor payments, and help monitor aging reports and collections when needed.
You will assist in building annual budgets, preparing forecasts, and performing variance analysis to support informed decision-making. In partnership with HR, you will reconcile payroll entries, confirm appropriate GL coding, and ensure accuracy in benefit and tax-related financial data. You will also prepare audit schedules, respond to auditor inquiries, and help maintain compliance with GAAP, tax regulations, and internal controls. Beyond recurring responsibilities, you will prepare financial summaries, dashboards, and ad-hoc analyses to help identify risks, trends, and opportunities. You will play a hands-on role in improving accounting processes, supporting system enhancements, streamlining workflows, and contributing to ongoing financial projects across the company.
To be successful in this role, you should have a bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field, along with at least two to five years of professional accounting experience. Experience in property management or real estate accounting is strongly preferred. You should have a solid understanding of GAAP, strong internal-control awareness, and the ability to analyze financial data with accuracy and clarity. Proficiency with software such as QuickBooks, Yardi, RealPage, Sage, or similar accounting systems is essential, along with advanced skills in Excel.
This role requires a high level of attention to detail, strong organizational ability, reliable follow-through, and the ability to handle sensitive information with professionalism and discretion.
This is a remote position that requires a dependable home office setup, reliable internet, and the ability to collaborate virtually with Finance, HR, Operations, and executive leadership. Occasional travel may be required for audits, meetings, or special projects. A strong alignment with RYSE’s mission and core values is essential to your success.
At RYSE, we don’t just manage properties — we build communities and careers. You’ll have access to medical, dental, vision, and mental health benefit options, competitive pay, a 401(k) match, life insurance, generous PTO, paid holidays, a community service day, and even a paid birthday holiday. You will also have opportunities for professional development, mentorship, and recognition through companywide programs.
Join RYSE Management, where we elevate experiences, create thriving communities, and empower growth through our values of Relationships, Yield, Stewardship, and Elevation. Together, we build more than financial systems — we build trust, opportunity, and excellence.
