Property Accounting Manager

Nomad Labs Inc•Denver, CO

2d•Hybrid

About The Position

The Financial Operations (FinOps) team at Nomad powers the core of our business: guaranteed owner payments. We manage property-level bookkeeping, owner disbursements, bank reconciliations, and collections across thousands of properties. As Nomad grows and our financial products evolve, this team sits at the intersection of operations, accounting, and customer experience. You'll work closely with customer success, engineering, product, and finance to keep money moving accurately and on time. We're looking for a Property Accounting Manager to lead our property accounting operations and manage a small team of specialists. This is a player-coach role: you'll own critical accounting workflows yourself while also supporting, developing, and directing your team. You'll inherit a team of 3 across multiple states with diverse skill sets: from collections to bookkeeping to customer escalations. This role reports to the Head of Financial Operations & Strategy, and also works closely with the Head of Finance. If you're energized by operational accounting, comfortable managing people, and want to build something at a company that's redefining residential real estate, this could be the role for you.

Requirements

4+ years of accounting or bookkeeping experience, with at least 1-2 years managing people
Used to working in a start-up environment is required
Strong general ledger fluency; you can trace transactions, reconcile accounts, and explain what's happening in the books
Comfortable managing multiple bank accounts and orchestrating money movement
Experience with operational accounting (not just AP/AR clerk work). You've owned processes end-to-end
People management skills: you've inherited or built a team, navigated different personalities, and held people accountable
Detail-oriented but not paralyzed by ambiguity; startup environments require both
Strong communicator who can translate accounting concepts for non-accountants

Nice To Haves

Property management or real estate tech background (AppFolio, Buildium, Yardi, Rent Manager)
Marketplace or fintech experience (money in, money out, fees, trust accounting)
Collections or delinquency management experience
Experience with QuickBooks, BILL, Stripe, or similar
Familiarity with AI tools (Claude, ChatGPT) for productivity

Responsibilities

Lead the team: Manage 3 direct reports across bookkeeping, collections, and financial operations. Set priorities, remove blockers, and develop talent.
Oversee owner payment workflows (guaranteed rent disbursements, earnings calculations)
Manage bank reconciliations and balance sheet controls
Ensure accuracy across multiple bank accounts and money movement
Drive collections and delinquency: Bring structure and fresh energy to our most important and most neglected function. Own the process, manage escalations, and improve outcomes.
Support and develop your team: Be the go-to resource when bookkeeping gets gnarly; trace debits and credits, troubleshoot discrepancies
Coach team members on accounting fundamentals and operational excellence
Partner cross-functionally: Work with Customer Success to define escalation paths, with Engineering/Product on system improvements, and with Finance on corporate accounting touchpoints.
Get your hands dirty: This isn't a sit-back-and-delegate role. You'll run paydays, do balance sheet checks, and step in wherever needed.
