Posted last week

Summary

Entrust Commercial Advisors is a commercial real estate brokerage and property management company based in San Antonio, Texas. We are looking for an experienced Property Management Accountant / Bookkeeper to help manage the day-to-day accounting for our growing commercial property management portfolio, currently consisting of approximately 100 tenants. This is not a general virtual assistant or basic data-entry position. We are looking for someone who understands accounting and can take ownership of keeping our property books accurate, reconciled, and current. Our primary property management accounting system is Rent Manager. Direct Rent Manager experience is strongly preferred; however, candidates with significant experience using Yardi, MRI, AppFolio, or similar property management accounting software are encouraged to apply. Responsibilities You will assist with and eventually take ownership of many of our recurring property accounting functions, including: * Maintain accurate tenant ledgers in Rent Manager. * Review and properly record tenant payments, including direct bank deposits and other transactions that do not automatically post. * Monitor accounts receivable and prepare delinquency reports. * Send tenant balance reminders, late notices, and other routine AR communications. * Review monthly tenant invoices and ensure prior balances and charges are accurately reflected. * Monitor bank activity and identify transactions that need to be recorded in Rent Manager. * Track recurring/autopay expenses and identify missing or unusual transactions. * Perform monthly bank and credit-card reconciliations. * Review transactions entered through our AP system and confirm they are properly reflected in Rent Manager. * Prepare and post journal entries when necessary. * Assist with month-end accounting and closing procedures. * Prepare monthly property financial reports and owner reporting packages. * Assist with CAM/NNN reconciliations using Rent Manager and/or Excel. * Maintain supporting accounting schedules in Excel. * Assist with security deposit accounting. * Work with management and property owners' CPAs when adjusting entries or accounting changes are required. * Investigate discrepancies and proactively identify accounting issues rather than simply processing transactions. Our AP process is substantially automated through AvidXchange, and tenant electronic payments are processed through Zego. The accountant's responsibility is therefore less about manually entering every transaction and more about making sure the accounting records accurately reflect what occurred. What We're Looking For Required: * Previous bookkeeping or accounting experience. * Experience with property management or real estate accounting. * Understanding of general ledger accounting, debits/credits, journal entries, accruals, and bank reconciliations. * Strong Excel skills. * Strong written and spoken English. * High attention to detail. * Ability to investigate discrepancies independently. * Reliable internet connection and ability to communicate during U.S. Central Time business hours when necessary. Strongly Preferred: * Rent Manager experience. * Commercial property management accounting experience. * Experience with Yardi, MRI, AppFolio, or another recognized property management accounting platform. * Experience preparing owner financial statements. * Experience with CAM/NNN reconciliations. * AvidXchange and/or Zego experience. * Accounting degree or professional accounting/bookkeeping credentials. Schedule We expect the position to require approximately 10–20 hours per week initially, although the workload will vary. Some weeks may require approximately 10 hours while others may require closer to 20. Most work can be completed asynchronously. However, because our company operates in the U.S. Central Time Zone, we prefer candidates located in Latin America who can be reached during our normal business hours when an urgent accounting question arises. We are looking for someone who wants to become a long-term member of our team. As our property management portfolio grows, this position may grow in hours and responsibility. What Success Looks Like We want someone who can eventually look at the property accounting and confidently tell us: The books are current. The bank accounts reconcile. Tenant balances are accurate. Expenses are properly recorded. Exceptions have been identified. Owner reports are ready. Management will retain approval authority over payments and movement of funds. Your role is to make sure the accounting behind those decisions is accurate and complete. How to Apply Please submit your résumé along with answers to the screening questions provided with this posting. What property management accounting software have you personally used (Rent Manager, Yardi, AppFolio, MRI, etc.), and for how long? Describe your experience with bank reconciliations, tenant ledgers/AR, month-end close, and owner financial reporting. Have you prepared commercial CAM/NNN reconciliations? If yes, briefly describe your experience. Thank you,
