US Real Estate Bookkeeper — Multi-Entity, Buildium, Trust Accounting

Position: Experienced Real Estate Bookkeeper — Multi-Entity, Buildium, Trust Accounting
Type: Part-Time, 20 hrs/week | Pay: $8 to $10/hour | Location: Remote

About Us:
We're a group of US-based real estate companies, property flips, rentals, and property management, looking for an experienced bookkeeper who understands real estate-specific accounting, not just general bookkeeping. This is a specialized role for someone who can work independently and make sound judgment calls without needing every decision walked through.

What Makes This Role Different:
This isn't data-entry bookkeeping. You'll be working across multiple entities, including flip properties (inventory/COGS treatment), rental properties (fixed asset/depreciation treatment), and a property management trust account with monthly owner disbursements. If you understand why a flip and a rental are recorded differently in QBO, not just how, this role is built for you.

Required Qualifications:

• 3+ years hands-on QuickBooks Online experience
• Working knowledge of Buildium (property management software) — required
• Minimum 1 year of US real estate accounting experience, including class-based property allocation
• Comfortable making independent decisions and flagging issues proactively, without requiring constant direction
• Fluent written and spoken English
• Stable high-speed internet and reliable computer

Core Responsibilities:

• Categorize and reconcile bank/credit card transactions across multiple entities
• Manage AP/AR, verify and process vendor/contractor payments after approval
• Perform monthly bank and account reconciliations
• Prepare monthly financial statements (P&L, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow) per entity
• Record property acquisitions, dispositions, and HUD-1/closing statements correctly by entity and property class
• Manage a trust account: process monthly rental income disbursements to owners, management commission, expense reimbursements, and vendors
• Maintain tenant ledgers and property-level bookkeeping in Buildium

How to Apply:
All applications must be submitted through our application form: ----------

The form will ask for your resume, availability, three professional references, and a short written response to a real-estate accounting scenario question. This helps us prioritize candidates with hands-on experience.

Applications sent by email will not be reviewed. Only shortlisted candidates will be contacted for interviews.
