Senior Real Estate Accountant (Remote) | Philippines

About the Role

You will take day-to-day ownership of the electronic accounting cycle across multiple properties and legal entities, with Yardi Voyager at the center of your work. This is a hands-on senior individual contributor role for someone who can move confidently from transaction posting and reconciliations through month-end close, financial statements, tenant accounting, and management reporting.

The right person communicates early when something is missing, follows through without repeated reminders, and wants to become a dependable long-term part of a small, owner-led real estate business.

Responsibilities

* Own the general ledger across multiple residential and commercial properties and legal entities, keeping accounts accurate, complete, and ready for review.
* Complete month-end and year-end closes, including account reconciliations, supporting schedules, adjusting entries, and investigation of unusual balances.
* Manage the accounts payable cycle by reviewing and coding vendor invoices, recording approved payables, preparing authorized electronic payments, monitoring aging, and resolving discrepancies.
* Maintain accurate tenant accounting for residential and commercial leases, including rent charges, collections, delinquency reporting, move-ins, move-outs, security deposit calculations, and refunds.
* Reconcile bank and credit card accounts each month and escalate unresolved variances before they affect reporting deadlines.
* Prepare monthly, quarterly, and annual financial statements and management reports, including income statements, balance sheets, cash flow reports, rent rolls, and AP/AR aging.
* Support property and company budgeting by providing accurate historical data, schedules, and accounting insights.
* Process semi-monthly payroll through Paychex within established permissions and approval controls.
* Support tax preparation, 1099 reporting, insurance-related accounting, and CPA reviews by maintaining organized and audit-ready records.
* Serve as the day-to-day Yardi Voyager expert, using advanced Excel to analyze information, identify discrepancies, and communicate potential issues before deadlines are at risk.

Requirements

Must-Have:

* 5+ years of U.S. real estate or property management accounting experience; candidates with 10+ years are especially encouraged to apply.
* Hands-on Yardi Voyager experience across general ledger, AP, AR, tenant ledgers, reconciliations, and financial reporting. Yardi Voyager experience is required.
* Strong residential property accounting experience plus working familiarity with commercial property accounting; training can be provided on the weaker side.
* Demonstrated full-cycle accounting ownership, from transaction posting through reconciliations, close, and preparation of financial statements across multiple properties or entities.
* Bachelor's degree in Accounting or a related field, advanced Excel skills, and clear written and spoken English.
* Ability to work independently while communicating proactively, acknowledging requests and files, following up consistently, and flagging delays or discrepancies before deadlines are missed.

Nice to Have:

* Experience with QuickBooks Online and/or AppFolio.
* Experience processing payroll through Paychex and preparing 1099s.
* Experience supporting privately owned U.S. real estate companies with multiple LLCs or other legal entities.
* Experience collaborating with both U.S.-based and offshore colleagues.
* CPA qualification, although it is not required.
