Senior Property Management Accountant in Houston, Texas at Tide Property Management Co

Remote | Full-Time | U.S. Property Management

Tide Property Management is looking for an experienced property management accountant who can take real ownership of our accounting function.

This is not a data-entry bookkeeping role.

We need someone who understands U.S. property management accounting, knows their way around AppFolio, catches problems before they become problems, and is comfortable speaking up when something doesn't look right.

You'll work directly with our property management and leadership teams and will be responsible for keeping our property, owner, tenant, and trust accounting clean and accurate.

A bachelor's degree in accounting, finance, or a related field is preferred.

Experience with Buildium, Yardi, Rent Manager, or QuickBooks is useful, but AppFolio experience is much more important to us.

We want someone who doesn't just notice that an account is off.

We want the person who figures out why it's off.

If a trust reconciliation is short $4,000, your instinct should be to trace the transactions, identify the problem, correct it, document what happened, and help make sure it doesn't happen again.

You should be comfortable saying: "This doesn't reconcile, and here's why."

Not: "I noticed this was wrong. What would you like me to do?"

We value ownership, accuracy, and clear communication.

This is a full-time remote position.

You must be able to maintain at least 4 hours of overlap with U.S. Eastern Time business hours.

Exceptional candidates with deep AppFolio and U.S. property-management accounting experience may be considered above this range.

Please do not apply if your experience is primarily general bookkeeping without U.S. property-management accounting experience.

This position is remote in India.

Tide is a fast-growing property management company, and we have pretty simple expectations:

Treat everyone with kindness.

Communicate exceptionally well and tell the truth.

Create abundant wealth for everyone by connecting people with homes they love.

We take what we do seriously, but we don’t believe that means everything has to feel corporate.

We want people who take ownership, move fast, care about doing great work, and genuinely enjoy the people they work with.

We’re building a company where talented people can take on more responsibility as we grow.

So if you want a job where you can hide in the background and wait for someone to tell you what to do, this probably isn’t it.

But if you like people, like winning, and want the chance to become one of the best leasing professionals in the market, you’ll fit in well here.
