Arboreal Management is a growing property management company based in Seattle, Washington, USA, managing a portfolio of residential and commercial properties. We're looking for a detail-oriented Property Accountant to join our offshore finance team on a full-time, long-term contract basis. You'll handle day-to-day and month-end accounting for an assigned portfolio of properties in AppFolio, preparing reconciliations, journal entries, and financial reports for review by our Accounting Manager. This is an internal, behind-the-scenes role — no client calls or customer-facing work — perfect for someone who loves clean books, organized workpapers, and hitting close deadlines.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field

- Experience with property management accounting software (AppFolio preferred; Yardi, Buildium, or similar considered)
- Solid understanding of bank reconciliations, journal entries, and accrual-basis accounting
- Strong Excel skills — you build clear, formula-driven schedules that others can follow and review
- Good written English and the ability to document your work clearly
- Self-directed and dependable working from home, with strong attention to detail and follow-through on deadlines
Responsibilities
- Prepare and post journal entries, including accruals, prepaid amortization, and recurring entries
- Prepare monthly bank reconciliations for operating, security deposit, and reserve accounts, and follow up on outstanding items
- Prepare balance sheet account reconciliations, including cash, prepaids, security deposits, accrued liabilities, and loan balances
- Prepare monthly financial reporting packages — trial balance, income statement, and balance sheet schedules — with notes on significant variances
- Prepare draft owner statements and supporting schedules for manager review
- Reconcile interproperty and intercompany balances and flag mismatches for review
- Review accounts payable coding so bills land in the correct property, GL account, and period
- Review tenant ledgers, receivables aging, security deposit accounting, and move-out settlements
- Monitor property cash balances and prepare shortfall calculations to support funding processes
- Pull documentation to support audits, tax preparation, and lender requests
- Follow and help improve Standard Operating Procedures, and keep task trackers current
Benefits
- Consistent full-time hours with a stable, growing US company
- Long-term role with room to grow as our portfolio expands
