Part-time Real Estate Bookkeeper for U.S. Based Company
Worldwide
QuickBooks Online | 5 Guaranteed Hours per Week | Long-Term Growth Opportunity We are looking for a reliable and experienced real estate bookkeeper to support two small U.S.-based real estate investment companies. This role will begin with approximately 5 guaranteed hours per week. You will first learn our businesses, maintain accurate books in QuickBooks Online, and help improve our monthly bookkeeping process. As the relationship develops, you will also have the opportunity to help test and improve a new internal bookkeeping and financial operations platform designed for real estate investors. We are looking for someone who wants more than a temporary freelance assignment. The right person could gradually take on additional hours, assist with future client accounts, help improve our operating procedures, and eventually grow into a larger bookkeeping operations role. What You Will Work On Your initial responsibilities will include: Maintaining QuickBooks Online for two real estate companies Categorizing and reviewing transactions Reconciling bank accounts, credit cards, and loans Tracking income and expenses by property Using QuickBooks classes for property-level reporting Splitting mortgage payments between principal, interest, escrow, taxes, insurance, and fees Tracking repairs, utilities, capital improvements, and owner transactions Preparing clear questions when information is missing Helping improve monthly bookkeeping checklists and procedures The bookkeeping workload itself is relatively light, currently approximately 40 to 60 transactions per month across two small real estate companies. After the initial training period, you may also help: Test new bookkeeping workflows Review how real estate transactions are handled in our internal software Identify confusing processes or missing features Help document procedures for future bookkeepers and clients Support additional bookkeeping accounts as the company grows Who We Are Looking For You should have: Previous QuickBooks Online experience Experience bookkeeping for U.S. real estate investors, landlords, property managers, or similar businesses Experience using classes or another method to track properties separately Experience recording and reconciling mortgage payments Strong written and spoken English Good communication and consistent responsiveness The ability to work independently after training An interest in real estate, bookkeeping systems, and software You do not need to know our exact processes before starting. We care most about strong bookkeeping fundamentals, real estate experience, accuracy, communication, and a willingness to learn. Hours and Compensation 5 guaranteed hours per week $10 to $15per hour, depending on experience Flexible schedule Some weekday overlap with Pacific Time is preferred Initial paid trial period Potential for additional hours and responsibility as the company grows We are primarily interested in candidates located in Latin America because of the time-zone overlap, but we will consider qualified candidates in other locations who regularly work with U.S. clients. Why This Role Is Different This is an opportunity to become an early part of a growing real estate and financial technology operation. You will begin by working directly with the business owner on two internal real estate companies. Over time, you may help shape the bookkeeping procedures, systems, and software that will eventually support other real estate investors. For the right person, the role may grow into: Additional weekly hours Responsibility for future client accounts Bookkeeping workflow development Client onboarding and communication Training additional bookkeepers A bookkeeping operations or team-lead position Growth will depend on performance, accuracy, reliability, and the continued development of the business. How to Apply Please send a brief proposal that includes: Your experience with U.S. real estate bookkeeping Your experience with QuickBooks Online Your experience tracking income and expenses by property Your spoken and written English level Your normal availability in Pacific Time Your requested hourly rate Why this long-term opportunity interests you Qualified applicants will receive a short set of bookkeeping-specific follow-up questions before the interview.
