About the Role

As an Accounts Payable Accountant, you will own the payables cycle from invoice intake through payment and reconciliation.

Every cleaning, pool service, repair, utility, and other vendor bill across our portfolio flows through this role. Accurate invoice coding is critical to ensuring our owner statements and P&Ls are correct the first time.

• Distinguish owner-billable expenses from company costs to ensure accurate owner chargebacks at the source.

• Complete monthly vendor reconciliations and work directly with vendors to resolve discrepancies.
• Onboard new vendors and collect and maintain required W-9 documentation.
• Prepare annual 1099 filings.

• Prepare draft bank reconciliations.
• Prepare A/P accruals and support the month-end close process.

• Maintain accurate, organized, and up-to-date financial and vendor records.
