Property Accounting Manager

• Partner with property management and maintenance teams on client-related and operational accounting matters.
• Track and analyze utility usage and charges, identify anomalies, and proactively address irregularities.
• Audit tenant billing to ensure accuracy and compliance with lease terms.
• Align operations details to financial outcomes.
• Review accounts receivable and tenant ledgers, ensuring timely collections.
• Develop and maintain a comprehensive understanding of each property’s operational and financial characteristics.
• Lead financial and operational improvements and strengthen internal controls in collaboration with cross-functional teams.

This role extends beyond traditional accounting, requiring both a technical knowledge of commercial buildings and a deep understanding of property-specific operational factors—such as metering, utilities, solid waste management, and expense allocations—that affect financial performance and tenant billing. The ideal candidate will pair strong accounting acumen with a property-level operational perspective to ensure accurate reporting, precise tenant invoicing, and the overall financial and operational health of the portfolio. This is a full-time, in-office position, not remote or hybrid.
