Responsibilities
We are looking for a Property Accountant to ensure accounting integrity across features that touch our clients’ resident ledgers and accounting workflows. You will be the in-house authority on multifamily accounting, helping teams deliver products that interact seamlessly with our client accounting teams and systems.
Advise on core scenarios - Guide treatment of rent, concessions, deposits/refunds, subsidies/HAP, delinquencies, utilities, move-in/out, and month-end close
Translate workflows into requirements - Turn real-world accounting cases into clear requirements and acceptance tests; pressure-test features before release
Review calculations and language - Validate prorations, allocations, adjustments, and charge/credit logic for accuracy and explainability
Lead testing and validation - Develop representative test cases, run UAT with client accountants, and confirm outputs reconcile to expectations
Define standards and terminology - Establish consistent event lifecycles, terms, and concise reference guides for controllers and onsite teams
Capture best practices - Distill patterns and edge cases from enterprise customers into durable standards and playbooks

We’re scaling fast, solving real client problems with precision and ambition. Here, you own your impact; full autonomy, no micromanagement, no fluff.
We hire the best, expect the best, and give you the masterclass of your career. It’s hard, it’s intense, and it’s the most rewarding work you’ll ever do. If you’re hungry, driven, and ready to build something massive, climb aboard.

Growth and impact. It’s not often that you can get in on the ground floor of a funded (unicorn!) startup that’s scaling so fast. That means that instead of following a playbook, you’ll be writing it. Every single day you will be challenged to identify how we can scale and execute on it. You’ll learn what works when you succeed and what doesn’t when you fail. Either way, the rest of the team will be here to support you.
