Must-Haves
5+ years of full-cycle accounting experience, with meaningful ownership of month-end close
Property management accounting experience — Buildium strongly preferred; AppFolio, Yardi, Rent Manager, or Propertyware acceptable if the candidate has transferable depth
QuickBooks Online Expert (ProAdvisor certification a plus)
Advanced Excel — must be genuinely comfortable with SUMIFS, XLOOKUP/INDEX-MATCH, and Pivot Tables. VLOOKUP-and-SUM only will not clear the bar

Cleanup / reconstruction methodology — can articulate how to rebuild books from source, not just post adjusting entries
Strong written and verbal English communication
Strong Pluses
Experience with revenue-split / pass-through expense accounting (landlord splits, owner distributions)
Big Four or public accounting audit background
CPA, CMA, or equivalent certification
STR / furnished rental / hospitality accounting exposure
Experience in a high-growth or rapidly scaling environment
