What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior Property Accountant position at Southeastern Property Management LLC?
Senior Property Accountant – Multifamily Required | Remote
SPM, LLC, a third-party property management company overseeing 170 multifamily communities across 12 states, is hiring a Senior Property Accountant with a multifamily accounting background to own full-cycle property accounting for a portfolio of residential assets. Candidates without multifamily property accounting experience will not be considered. This is not a fit for general corporate accounting, commercial real estate, or single-family/homeowner association backgrounds. Strong fit requires hands-on fluency in both Entrata and Yardi.
What You'll Do
- Manage full-cycle accounting for an assigned multifamily property portfolio, including journal entries, accruals, and general ledger maintenance
- Prepare monthly, quarterly, and annual financial statements and owner reporting packages
- Complete balance sheet reconciliations and monthly bank reconciliations
- Analyze budget-to-actual variances and partner with property managers on trends and NOI
- Serve as the accounting liaison to auditors, property managers, and Regional/VP leadership during close and audit cycles
- Monitor cash positions, funding requests, and critical payment timing across assigned properties
- Ensures that financials are in accordance with GAAP for year-end audits and tax returns.
- Assist with system-level accounting setup for new property onboarding and PMS transitions
Required Qualifications
- Multifamily property accounting experience is mandatory. This is a hard requirement, not a preference — apartment communities, student housing, or affordable multifamily portfolios
- 10 years of property accounting experience, specifically within multifamily property management required
- Hands-on experience with both Entrata and Yardi
- Bachelor’s degree in accounting, Finance, or related field required. CPA is a plus
- Advanced Excel skills and comfort managing multiple property closes on deadline
- Excellent communication skills and experience presenting financials to non-accounting stakeholders
You'll thrive here if you take ownership of a portfolio like it's your own, you're comfortable being the accounting voice in conversations with property managers and VPs, and you'd rather solve a close discrepancy than hand it off.

- Paid holidays, personal, vacation, and sick time
- 401(k) with employer match
- Immediate access to earned wages
- Employee Assistance Program and wellness resources
